Kamila Krakowska Rodrigues is a lecturer at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society.
Fields of interest
Literature and cinema of Portuguese-speaking African countries; Brazilian literature and cinema; migration and transnationalism; Indian Ocean Studies. |
Research
In my research, I address the question of how (postcolonial) cultural identities are negotiated and represented in the contemporary, globalized Portuguese-speaking world, with a special focus on African and Afrodescendant communities. Through analysis of different media (written and oral literatures, cinema and audio-visual production), I try to offer a better understanding of the ideas of (un)rootedness, belonging, migration and displacement, as narrated by canonical and upcoming Lusophone writers, filmmakers and performers. |
