Research Interests
Pruteanu’s scholarship interrogates the intersections of migration, cultural hybridity, and narrative innovation. She examines how authors construct authorial identities in biofiction, the role of fragmented writing in representing diasporic experiences, and the ethical dimensions of speculative fiction in addressing political issues. Her comparative analyses often bridge Quebec, France, and Latin American contexts.
Publication Trends
Her recent works (2020–2022) emphasize francophone speculative fiction’s engagement with political ethics, digital biofiction’s evolution, and migration narratives’ impact on citizenship discourses. Earlier publications (2015–2016) delve into transcultural mappings between North and South, trauma in European migration policies, and memory-language interplay in diasporic texts.
