Marina Casado Guerrero

I hold a BA in English Studies at the Universidad de Sevilla, an MA in English Literature and Linguistics at the Universidad de Granada and an Erasmus Mundus MA in Gender and Women’s Studies (GEMMA) at the Universidad de Granada and Utrecht University.  Before joining EUTERPE, I have already participated in different international conferences in literary studies, such as the European Beat Studies Network conferences. I am part of the organizing committee of the upcoming 13th Feminist New Materialism’s conference that will be held in Granada in 2026. 

Research topic

I am interested in different kinds of artistic forms, especially in poetry, bodily performances, and dancing, as well in their potential intersections, as working with and through the body is one of her major passions. At the moment, I am working on my PhD project that looks into contemporary poetry written by Latin-American and Eastern Europe migrants that are living in Europe, where she applies queerfeminist and decolonial theories/methodologies to approach issues of translation and mobility, looking into queerness as an word(l)dy entanglement that can mobilize poetical/political responses and underscore the relational approach that emerges from the somatic-discursive.  I am the co-author of the chapter “Figures of Resistance: Revisiting Cinema and Poetry with Hospit(able)ness and Response-Ability" which can be found in the book “Feminist Literary and Filmic Cultures for Social Action: Gender Response-able Labs,” edited by Beatriz Revelles-Benavente and Adelina Sánchez-Espinosa, Routledge, 2024. In this book, I approach the poetry of female Beat Generation author Diane di Prima through a feminist new materialist approach, underscoring how di Prima’s subversive and countercultural literary production embodies different modes of diffractive relationality.
