Silvia Alonso Pérez

Silvia Alonso Pérez is a Contracted Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, specializing in Comparative Literature and Musicology. Her academic work focuses on the theoretical and practical intersections between literary and musical structures within Iberian cultural contexts, particularly Galician literature and its connections to broader European traditions.

Her research encompasses:

• Comparative history of Iberian literatures and methodological frameworks
• Transtextuality and intertextuality across literary and musical domains
• Poetics and narrative theory in Álvaro Cunqueiro's works through Bakhtinian lenses
• Self-referentiality and recursion in vocal music composition
• Semiotic analysis of national literature within the semiosphere concept
• Translation studies and cross-cultural adaptations in Iberian contexts

Analysis of her 2004-2009 publications reveals a cohesive scholarly trajectory centered on Iberian literary-musical dialogues. Her work consistently examines how musical structures inform narrative forms in authors like Cunqueiro and Torrente Ballester, while exploring theoretical frameworks for comparative literary history. Key contributions include modeling transtextual relationships in vocal music and analyzing Ravel's adaptation of Galician folk elements, demonstrating how cultural exchange shapes artistic expression across disciplinary boundaries.
