Samuel Egea Castañeda
Samuel Egea Castañeda holds a BA in English Studies from the University of Extremadura (2019) and a MA in Advanced English Studies and its Applications from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2022), which he completed under funding from a research grant for MA students awarded by the USC and Banco Santander. He is currently preparing his PhD thesis under the supervision of Professors Margarita Estévez Saá and Noemí Pereira Ares. Provisionally entitled “Posthuman and Ecofeminist Figurations in Contemporary Fashion and their Antecedents”, the work aims at exploring alternative conceptions in the fashion industry that are reformulating the representation of the human body in relation to the other (animal, technological), thus denouncing anthropocentric attitudes. His research lines include fashion studies, critical posthumanism, ecofeminism, and the intersections between these fields and literature.
