Sara Nadal-Melsió

Assistant Professor of Romance Languages

Contemporary Peninsular Literatures and critical theory. Trained as a comparatist in 19th- and 20th-century European literatures, she is committed to an interdisciplinary and transnational approach to the cultural productions of contemporary Spain. Nadal is the co-author of a book on emergent discourses surrounding the "periphery" as a social space, Alrededor de: periferias (Gustavo Gili, 2002). She is currently working on a book manuscript, "The Decays of Realism: A Negative Genealogy," that examines the strategic centrality of realism as a target and calls for a reassessment of its epistemological discourse. Article-length projects include the role of the documentary in Surrealism and representations of the insurrectional city.
