Daniel Nisa Caceres

Daniel Nisa Caceres is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philology and Translation at Pablo de Olavide University's Faculty of Humanities. He holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Seville (2009) and is an active researcher in the HUM-857 Interlinguistic Communication and Intercultural Interpretation group and the WAÉIRE platform for Irish Studies in the West of Andalusia.

His academic journey began with doctoral research on Dickens' reception in Pío Baroja's work under Dr. Miguel Juan Gronow Smith's supervision, establishing his enduring interest in literary reception and cross-cultural interpretation.

Nisa Caceres' research centers on contemporary women writers' reinterpretations of classical mythology, with particular focus on how authors like Ursula K. Le Guin, Irene Vallejo, Pat Barker, and Madeline Miller subvert traditional narratives of gender and power. His scholarship consistently examines the intersection of mythological rewriting with feminist theory, exploring themes of consent, sexual violence, and gender fluidity through literary motifs like cross-dressing. His work bridges comparative literature, translation studies, and gender theory, with special attention to the aesthetics of the grotesque in both classical and contemporary contexts.

His publication trajectory reveals a methodical evolution from early studies on Dickens and Baroja toward increasingly sophisticated analyses of how contemporary women authors reclaim classical narratives, with recent work demonstrating particular innovation in connecting mythological reception with critical discourse on consent culture.

As a mentor, Nisa Caceres has co-supervised multiple doctoral theses, including the award-winning "Feminism and Translation: The Reception of Margaret Atwood in Spain" (2024), and currently guides research on classical reception in contemporary Anglophone women's writing. His editorial projects, notably the 2023 volume "The Odyssey of Women Writers" and the 2025 Spanish edition of Virginia Woolf's "The Common Reader," demonstrate his commitment to reshaping literary canons through gender-inclusive frameworks. His work with the FECYT Project "FCT-21-17113" exemplifies his dedication to transforming educational approaches to literary history.

Through his leadership in the Doctoral Program "Philological, Translation and Cultural Studies" at UPO/University of Poitiers, Nisa Caceres continues to influence emerging scholars in literary studies, translation theory, and gender-focused literary criticism.
