Her contribution to the EuLiterArt Project, in collaboration with Carlo Caccia, concerns prison narratives, literary and filmic, examined in a transcultural and transnational key, with particular attention to fictional, testimonial and hybrid genre works of the European 20th and 21st centuries. The heterotopic status of the prison constitutes a privileged observatory for exploring the different ways of representing the experience of questioning, transformation, renegotiation of identity and shared axiologies that the EuLiterArt Project intends to investigate.
