Research: The 21st-Century British Climate Change Novel: A Dialectic of Society, Nature, and Literary Form

Asia Battiloro is a first year PhD student in English Literatures, Language and Translation at Sapienza University of Rome (curriculum in Literary and Cultural Studies), in cotutelle with the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. Her doctoral project focusses on the twenty-first century British climate change novel. She graduated in 2021 from an MA course in English and Anglo-American Studies (Sapienza University of Rome ) with a dissertation titled ‘Tracing Postmodernism in Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant’ (Supervisor: Riccardo Capoferro; Co-Supervisor: Giorgio Mariani), after earning a bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages for Intercultural Communication at Roma Tre University. Her current research interests include contemporary British literature (especially the twenty-first-century British climate change novel) and culture (especially the emergence of climate warming in the public sphere), and the possible applications of Embodied Narratology for the study of the novel. Further research interests include phytocriticism, biocolonialism, scientific imperialism, and the role of literature for the historicisation of climate change.
