Associate Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature

Antonio Gómez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, with a joint appointment in the Program in Comparative Literature, where he regularly teaches in the graduate program. Occasionally, he has also taught Humanities 1, 2, and 3. He is the author of three monographs: one on Jorge Luis Borges's response to Nazism from 1937 to 1946; another on the representation of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) in 21st-century films and novels; and a third on the concept of the sublime in contemporary Spanish novels. He has also co-edited several collective volumes and special journal issues on topics such as the dialogue between Hermeneutics and Marxism, political and cultural populism, the archaeology of the communist imaginary in the Iberian Peninsula, the philosophical and ideological understandings of "precarity" during the Great Recession, and Spain's role in the memorialization of the Holocaust. He has published around one hundred scholarly articles on a wide array of topics and media (film, television, novels, photography), typically exploring the interconnections between aesthetics, Marxism and political theory.
