Hartmut Nonnenmacher

Dr. Hartmut Nonnenmacher is a Senior Academic Councillor (equivalent to Senior Lecturer) at the Department of Romance Studies, University of Freiburg, where he has been employed since 2003. He coordinates the Erasmus program for Spain and teaches Spanish and French literature, cultural studies, and translation courses. His educational background includes studies in German, French, and Spanish at the University of Tübingen, where he completed his First State Examination in 1995 and earned his doctorate in 2001 with a thesis on incest motifs in 18th-century French and German literature. He is also a state-certified translator in Spanish.

Nonnenmacher's research spans multiple areas within Romance studies, with particular emphasis on:

• Spanish-language literature from the 18th-21st centuries
• Spanish and Hispano-American cultural studies
• French literature of the 18th-19th centuries
• European and Latin American comics studies
• Narratology and textual analysis
• Popular music texts from Spanish/French traditions
• Film studies with focus on Spanish/Hispano-American cinema
• Spanish-language crime fiction

His scholarly publications demonstrate consistent focus on cross-cultural analysis, particularly examining narrative techniques across different media. Recent work shows strong interest in graphic narratives, cultural representations in popular media, and transnational comparisons between European and Latin American cultural production. Thematically, his research frequently explores historical memory, cultural identity formation, and the intersection of popular culture with literary traditions.

Nonnenmacher maintains active scholarly engagement through extensive publication of critical reviews covering recent academic works in Hispanic studies, French studies, comics research, and cultural history. His professional service includes coordinating student exchange programs between Freiburg and Spanish universities.
