About
I am interested in the study of heroism in modern American literature, as well as the treatment of myth and violence in literature. I have recently defended my Ph.D. dissertation which focused on rites de passage and experience making in Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy. I study how the author's young protagonists undertake their initiation quests to achieve heroic status and find accomplishment as men. Interdisciplinarity plays a central role in my research as
anthropological studies, history, and philosophy are essential to understanding rituals and the shaping
of experience. Intertextuality is also essential to my research, as it is to McCarthy himself, ranging from Shakespeare to the writers of the American West, French lumières, Faulkner, or the British and French Romantics.
In the near future, I will widen this field by focusing on rituals of war and violence in 20th century American literature.
