Madrelingua francese e inglese con una laurea in lettere

In my Comparative Literature degree, I studied a wide variety of texts in translation, including the works of Proust, Dostoyevsky and Bakhtin, alongside film studies and art history modules. My main area of focus was the issue surrounding the treatment of women in art both historically and at present, and I was awarded a first-class mark for an essay I wrote on female Surrealists and the ways in which they subverted the traditional role of women in Surrealism as muses by reclaiming the movement’s policy of denaturalising ideologies and conventions to interrogate art itself by applying it to the question of female identity, which their male counterparts often defaced in their works.
