Jessica Sciubba

Research Interests & Areas

Her main research interests include ecomedia studies, ecocriticism, migration studies, postcolonial studies, gender and sexuality. Her commitment to material ecocriticism and ecoethical narratives informs her research towards alternative ways of exploring Italy and the Mediterranean, through a fluid approach aimed at highlighting the ways in which human and non-human life, as well as the material world in which they are inscribed, have equally been denigrated and are now entangled in a cycle of “natureculture” contaminations. She has published on issues of gender and postcoloniality in Italian literature and her article "Postcolonial Abjections: Physical and Moral Corruption in Rhoda by Igiaba Scego" appeared in the 2016 issue of Gender/Sexuality/Italy.
