Research activity

.

Dr. Isabel Castelao-Gómez’s research fields are American 20th.c. women poets, experimental poetics, feminist literary criticism and gender studies, with special interest in postwar literature and the Beat Generation. Her work has focused on female authors’ contributions to avant-garde movements, and the way poetic experimentation can join the expression of  women's experiences, and on a wider lens, the multiple relations between gender  and writing. She has published and translated into Spanish the avant-garde writer Mina Loy. In recent years, she has been studying women writers of the Beat generation movement, and has published and translated for the first time in any language the Beat poet Elise Cowen.

The book Female Beatness: mujeres, género y poesía en la Generación Beat, co-authored with Natalia Carbajosa, has widely introduced these writers to Spanish-speaking readers. It has received the Best Research Monograph Award Javier Coy given by the Spanish Association of American Studies.

She is a member and assistant editor of EBSN (European Beat Studies Network)

Her current research interests focus on Affect Studies, New Materialisms (Corporeal Feminism), Maternity Studies and Health Humanities.
