Today the V Seminar in English Studies (SEING 2024) “English Studies Today: Research in Times of Change” is being held by the Doctoral Program in English Studies at the University of Zaragoza.
Three of our predoctoral researchers have delivered their papers on posthumanism and literature in a Panel chaired by our team member Dr. Francisco Collado.
First, our predoctoral student María Abizanda-Cardona has presented her doctoral research in the paper “The Posthuman in American Crime Fiction: A Case Study of Mur Laffery’s Six Wakes (2017)”.
Then, Laura Larrodera-Árcega has delivered the paper “Narrating the Inhuman: Robot Agency in Annalee Newitz’s Autonomous and in Amal El Mohtar and Max Gladstone’s This Is How You Lose the Time War”.
To close the panel, our newly incorporated predoctoral student Laura García has presented her research in the paper “Earth and Humanity in Contemporary Science Fiction: Living, Leaving and Coming Back”.
