Federica Perazzini is Fixed-Term Researcher in English Literature at the Department of Literatures and Cultures at Sapienza, University of Rome where she teaches English Literature for MA students. She received her PhD in English and American Literature in 2012 with a dissertation supervised by Franco Moretti on the English Gothic Novel and Eighteenth Century Culture. She is a Fulbright Fellow (2011) and has recently received a Marie Curie Seal of Excellence (2023). Her main research interests involve the application of computational tools to literary problems and the pursuit of critical questions that would be unaddressable by more traditional close-reading methods. These include a variety of corpus-based researches that span from the lexical measurement of novelistic genres to cultural discourse analysis (CDA). These methods and objectives are also at the core of her numerous research projects in the field of digital humanities and literary studies which include the computational analysis of the emergence of modern subjectivity within the English 18th century field of cultural production. Other main research interests regard the construction and destruction of British national identities across literature from the 18th to the 20th century and the evolution of Gothic narrative conventions in a gendered and transmedia perspective.
