Biography

I grew up in Catalonia, a region historically known for its bustling political activity. The multiple, competing ways of understanding society that surrounded me sparked my interest in how the collective identities through which we engage with politics shape what we can feel, care about, demand, and imagine politically, making certain struggles visible while leaving others unattended. I explored interdisciplinary approaches to this topic through my PPE BA, MA in philosophy, and research with ERC FOODCIRCUITS, examining how the distinct ways in which political subjects and our sense of belonging are constructed can either reinforce or contest injustice—as in my MA thesis on the French Yellow Vests movement. At Cambridge, I will examine how three contemporary French writers stage political subjects in different ways, shaping their portrayal of French society and their characters’ views and interests in modes that can naturalise exclusion, foster disaffection, or open new horizons for collective change. Situating literature as a laboratory of political representation, my project extends analysis beyond existing identities, seeking a creative intervention in political theory at a moment when imagining alternatives has become urgent.
