Selected Works & Activities
Book: Sexualidades disidentes: un acercamiento fílmico desde la prostitución y la pornografía. Madrid: Dykinson, 2019. Despite my critique of prostitution and pornography in their widely normalized manifestions, this study also addresses the intelectual and concrete spaces these practices open in exploring and elaborating non-patriarchal sexualities.
Book: Tiempos de ausencias y vacíos: escrituras de memoria e identidad. Deusto University Press-Publicaciones de la Universidad de Deusto (Bilbao, Spain). Fall 2010. A study of the interrelations between memory and identity in the Spain of the Transition and post-Transition historical period.
Book: La tarea política: narrativa y ética en la España posmoderna. Barcelona: Montesinos-El Viejo Topo, 2004. A rethinking of postmodern subjectivities and their ethical positionings in literary texts by Juan Goytisolo, Rosa Montero, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán y Jorge Semprún.
