Dominika Bugno-Narecka

Dr. Dominika Bugno-Narecka is an Assistant Professor at the Department of American Literature and Culture, Institute of Literary Studies, Faculty of Humanities, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Her research focuses on 20th and 21st century English-language literature with specializations in American and British works, examining interrelationships between textual and visual media through theoretical frameworks including ekphrasis, intermediality, and neo-baroque aesthetics.

Her current research investigates: ekphrastic historiographic metafiction, neo-baroque representations in contemporary literature, Thomas Pynchon's treatment of non-verbal communication, and cultural manifestations of cabinets of curiosities. She maintains active international collaborations with scholarly organizations including IAWIS (International Association of Word and Image Studies), ISIS (International Society for Intermedial Studies), ESCL (European Society of Comparative Literature), and Brazil's Grupo de estudos Intermídia.

Her publication portfolio demonstrates consistent exploration of intermediality across literary, visual, and historical domains, with recent works examining Brazilian urban spaces as neo-baroque theaters, transhistorical analyses of curiosity cabinets, and dystopian surveillance in contemporary fiction. Her scholarship frequently engages with postmodern narrative strategies, cross-media representation, and the works of authors including Thomas Pynchon, Salman Rushdie, and Dave Eggers.
