Irene Lens Fernández
Irene Lens Fernández holds a BA in English Language and Literature (2022) and an MA in Advanced English Studies and its Applications (2023), both obtained at the University of Santiago de Compostela. She is currently working on her doctoral dissertation with the financial support of a pre-doctoral contract granted by the Spanish Ministry of Education. Her thesis, which is under the supervision of Dr. Laura Lojo Rodríguez, seeks to explore the phenomenon of intermediality in contemporary digital cultural products, including television series and films, focusing, more specifically, on how literary references act as meaning-constitutional strategies. Her research aims to study the function of intermediality in the development and representation of liminal states in relation to contemporary posthumanist and ecocritical debates. Her main research interests comprise intertextual and intermedial studies, border studies, ecocriticism, and weird fiction.
