Biography
Rita Marnoto is Full Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and at the College of Arts of the University of Coimbra, where she teaches Italian Studies, Translation, Literature, and Arts. She is the director of the PhD program in Modern Languages - Culture, Literature, Translation, the coordinator of the Italian Studies Section, and the Vice-President of the "Centre International d'Études Portugaises de Genève". She has developed her expertise working on Contemporary Italian Literature (historical avant-garde movements, modern theatre, neo-realism, postmodernism), on twentieth century Portuguese avant-gardes, on the reception of Pirandello and other contemporary writers' work in Portugal, on the relationships between Portugal and Italy during the Risorgimento period, on Arcadia and the eighteenth century Portuguese History of Literature, on baroque poetry, on Luís de Camões, the court society and sixteenth century Portuguese Petrarchism, on Dante and Sannazaro, on Italian Historical Linguistics, etc. She has translated Bodoni and Pirandello to Portuguese. She set the text for Fernando Távora's Diary and for the first edition's first copy of Os Lusíadas by BGUC. In addition, she has been working on the fields of dramaturgy and visual arts. She uses a methodology based on the text's hermeneutics, thus enhancing values to be explored through contributions which range from semiotics to philology, literary history or artistic studies. This is a way to relate the literary work with a network of centralities, away from hierarchical assumptions. Dynamism and heterogeneity are considered her intrinsic traces, since she favors the intersections between diachronicities, languages and literature, and particularly Portuguese and Italian languages and literature.
