    PhD in Modern Languages | Expert in Comparative Literature, Modern Greek, and Translation | Seeking Opportunities in Publishing and Language Services

      MSt Modern Languages (Modern Greek) Distinction

    • University of Oxford

      2018 - 2024
      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Medieval and Modern Languages (Modern Greek)

      My doctoral thesis, titled "The Last Modernist Wave: A Metamodernist Approach to the Greek Literature of the 1960s", offers an alternative framework to analyse the peculiar cultural landscape of the 1960s in Greece. Engaging with issues of classical reception in literature, I argue that modernism not only is not discarded, but it re-appropriated and adapted to address the uncertainty and transformative moment of the Greek 1960s, a cultural move I call 'metamodernism'.
