My areas of specialization are nineteenth and twentieth-century Spanish Peninsular Literature, as well as Contemporary Literary Theory, with special interests in the narrative, ideological discourse and the general relationship between logos and history, word and action. I also work on Latin American literature and on the history and aesthetics of Spanish cinema.

I have a book forthcoming in Editorial Fundamentos entitled El doble silencio del eunuco. Poéticas sexuales de la novela realista según Clarín. In this work, I study the territory where two cultural idioms--the poetics of the novel and the sexual discourse of the times--metaphorically crisscross throughout the period known as Realism. Within the economy of my study, Clarín's critical and literary works, especially La Regenta and Su único hijo, act as points of departure in the task of tracing the sexual poetics of the Realist novel.

My next two major research ventures are a book in which I will edit and explore a collection of documents pertaining to the poetics of the nineteenth-century Spanish novel and a study of the literary inscriptions and ideological interpretations of the Escorial.
