German Studies

I have a Bachelor's Degree in History with minor studies in Romance Philology and Brazilian Literature from the University of São Paulo, a Masters in Comparative Literature from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, a Masters in Germanic Studies from Indiana University, Bloomington, and I'm currently working on a PhD at Brown University. I also lived and studied in Heidelberg and Paris (Sorbonne). At Brown, I'm working on a dissertation that seeks to disclose the linguistic underpinnings of consciousness and analyze how they both establish and deconstruct levels of reality and the possibility of cognizing them. For this end, I closely discuss passages from Hegel, Hölderlin, Rilke, and Proust. Parallel interests and projects of mine all orbit English, French, German, and Brazilian literatures and thought from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
