- Ph.D., Cornell University
Cunado's research critically examines representations of the Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship through interdisciplinary lenses of memory studies, gender theory, and cultural analysis. Her work consistently investigates how historical trauma manifests in contemporary Spanish literature, film, and cultural memory, with particular attention to women's narratives and ethical dimensions of remembrance. This scholarly trajectory reveals a sustained engagement with Spain's unresolved historical legacy and its artistic expressions across generations.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2025-2009) demonstrates consistent thematic focus on memory politics and gendered perspectives in post-Franco Spain. Her scholarship prominently features critical analyses of major authors including Javier Marías (appearing in 7 articles), Carmen Laforet, Carme Riera, and Clara Sánchez, while exploring intersections with ecofeminism, dystopian geography, and ironic nostalgia. The publications reveal methodological diversity spanning discourse analysis, philosophical ethics, and spatial theory applied to contemporary Spanish narrative.
Professor Cunado maintains active scholarly engagement through her office in Coleman Hall (209) at Bucknell University, with contact information including phone (570-577-3976) and email (icunado@bucknell.edu).
