Weaving Media is an interdisciplinary research network founded by Adele Bardazzi at Trinity College Dublin in 2022
With the aim to promote conversations across fields on questions about form and interpretation of works that weave together different media, with particular attention to poetry and textile arts
Adele Bardazzi is Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin and Honorary Research Fellow at the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages at the University of Oxford. At Oxford, she completed her DPhil at Christ Church, followed by a Laming Fellowship and an Extraordinary Junior Research Fellowship at The Queen’s College. Her research focuses on issues of form and interpretation: poetry and poetics, lyric theory, gender and women’s studies, and verbal-visual glitches. At present, while at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, and the École Normale Supérieure as Visiting Research Fellow, she is working on A Textile Poetics of Entanglements, her second monograph expanding questions of poetic theory raised in her first book, Eugenio Montale: A Poetics of Mourning (Peter Lang, 2022). Among her recent and forthcoming publications are: the edited volumes Gender and Authority Across Disciplines, Space and Time with Alberica Bazzoni (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) and A Gaping Wound: Mourning in Italian Poetry with Francesco Giusti and Emanuela Tandello (Legenda, 2022), the special issues Weaving Media in Italian Poetry (Italica, forthcoming 2023) and Elegy Today: Rejections, Re-mappings, Rewritings with Jonathan Culler and Roberto Binetti (Journal of World Literature), which will be followed by an expanded book version: The Contemporary Elegy in World Literature (Brill, forthcoming 2023). She is the co-founder of «Non solo muse» (www.nonsolomuse.com), «Italian Poetry Today» (www.italianpoetrytoday.com) and the «Gender & Authority» Network (www.torch.ox.ac.uk/gender-and-authority).
