Immacolata Amodeo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Immacolata Amodeo (born October 6, 1961 in Carfizzi , Italy ) is a literary scholar of Italian origin and professor of literature at Jacobs University Bremen .

After studying at the universities of Perugia , Frankfurt am Main and Siegen , Amodeo completed her doctorate on a topic in the field of migration literature in Germany. In her dissertation from 1996, as a literary scholar, she attempted to do justice to the aesthetic dimensions of these texts by contrasting the further reduction in the reception of intercultural literature to concern , authenticity , and exoticization with another model. This other aesthetic model is based, among other things, on the considerations of the scientists Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze , whereby their philosophical rhizome model comes into play in particular . Her habilitation took place in 2001 at the University of Bayreuth , where she taught general and comparative literature until 2004. From 2004 to 2018 she was a professor at Jacobs University Bremen , but released between February 2012 and 2018 to work as General Secretary of Villa Vigoni in Loveno di Menaggio (Como), Italy. She has been head of the Ernst Bloch Center in Ludwigshafen am Rhein since October 2018 .

As a radio reviewer , she is an expert on the works of and about Ingeborg Bachmann , Primo Levi , Nelly Sachs , Antonio Gramsci , Erich Fried and other writers and theorists.
