Guido Mattia Gallerani

I work at the University of Bologna in Italy where I teach Sociology of Literature.

My research considers literature in relation with society, media and mass culture. It splits into two main areas, which contain different research projects (for references and links, see Projects and Selected Publications):

• Literary Hybrids: The research investigates the modes of interaction between literature and media that give rise to hybrid literary genres. I have studied two examples from the perspective of both production and circulation in the literary and media fields: the imagined interview and the pseudo-essay.

• Literature and Technology: the research investigates the impact of technological, material and ideological changes on literature and mass culture. The project aims to study changes in the imagination of flight (in the modes of vertical viewpoint, air travel, means of ascension) at the appearance of the airplane.
