Curriculum Vitae

Clara Guimarães Ervedosa

My research focuses on the interdependencies between migration, transculturality, and race on one side, and language, literature, and discourses on the other. My last publications highlight the culturalistic representations of the South, particularly the Mediterranean space, in Germany/German discourse. I have published on the racialised stereotypes of The South during the Euro Crisis 2015, and on the term "Südländer" [Southerner] in German police reports as a discriminatory category and a culturalistic form of colourism, as well as a tool for racial profiling. My publications include Literary Studies on German "migration literature", specially by Yoko Tawada and Emine Segvi Özdamar, but also about the life, work and memory of the Black German author and pioneer of German (Black) feminism May Ayim. I have also published on comic as an aesthetical expression of shock and différance, mainly in the work of the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard. My methodology combine interdisciplinary approaches from the German "Sozialgeschichte der Literatur", Critical Theory (including its focus on the critical potential of art), Discourse Analysis, Gender Studies, Memory Studies, Cultural Studies, and Postcolonial Studies. I was educated in Portugal, and Germany. I studied Modern German and English Languages and Literatures at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, and at the Universität Regensburg, Germany. I obtained my PhD in German Studies (Neuere Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft) at Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Germany (in a European cotutelle de thèse with the University of Coimbra, Portugal). I gained international teaching and research experience as a lecturer ("Assistente"), senior lecturer ("Professora Auxiliar") at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Portugal, and at the Russel Group universities of Sheffield and Manchester, U.K., and at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany. I am currently researcher at the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra, a review editor (section: Postcolonial Studies) for the journal IASLonline (University of Munich), and a member of the research project "Holocaust in Portuguese. A dynamic repository of educational resources".
