Notă biografică

Konstantina Georganta is currently completing her PhD thesis at the University of Glasgow on encounters between British and Greek poetry in the first half of the twentieth century. Her thesis focuses on the crisis in the portrayal of national identities, insecure in the multiplicity of their multicultural roots and thus diasporic and hybrid, in post-1922 Europe and considers the work of T.S. Eliot, C.P. Cavafy, W.B. Yeats, Kostes Palamas, John Lehmann, Demetrios Capetanakis and Louis MacNeice. Other interests include the visual culture of political satire for the theatricality it adopts in the depiction of national identities and the development of the notion 'national' from the fin-de-siecle onwards. Fabienne Collignon is currently completing her PhD thesis on US missile culture at the University of Glasgow. She has published articles on Thomas Pynchon and map-space, on the topography of Kansas and the unconscious effects of geography on the psyche, as well as on the Hollow Earth Theory, and has presented papers at international conferences on topics as various as the Kennedy Assassination, Nikola Tesla, missile silos and Stephen King. Anne-Marie Millim is currently writing up her PhD thesis on the representation of duty in the Victorian diary at the University of Glasgow. Her thesis examines the "silencing of the self" that is characteristic of the diaries of George Eliot, George Gissing, John Ruskin, Elizabeth Eastlake, Henry Crabb Robinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins by investigating the repressive influence of nineteenth-century psychology, work ethic and visual culture. Conference papers include a wide range of topics, such as the Victorian home, Gissing's escapism, Ruskin's photographic gesture, as well as his obsession with meteorological phenomena, and Alexander Bain's advocacy of emotional repression in the context of Victorian ideas of respectability.
