Cornelia Gräbner

Cornelia researches on poetry and the public, and on poetry and activist politics. She focuses on the Poetics of Resistance and contemporary committed writing. Her research is comparative on Western Europe and the Americas. She is currently working on a monograph on committed writing and alternative globalisation.

Further lines of research include poetic interventions into urban space; the intersections of culture and politics in mega-cities in the Americas; and politically committed performance poetry collectives. She holds a specialist interest in Mexican committed writing from the 1970s to the present, and in creative articulations of contemporary Mexican social movements.
