Teresa Vilarós-Soler

Professor Teresa Vilarós-Soler holds a faculty position at Texas A&M University’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese, within the College of Liberal Arts. Her work bridges Spanish and Catalan visual/cultural studies with psychoanalytical theory and political thought. She co-founded the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies and has authored seminal works on Spain’s political transition era, Francoist media, and experimental film movements like La Escuela de Barcelona.

Her research focuses on post-human landscapes in Gaudí and Dalí, Marrano poetics in 20th-century Spain, and the interplay of technology/media with power structures. Current projects include a book exploring Marrano literary traditions. Her publications span art history, film analysis, and critical theory, with key works addressing La Movida counterculture and biopolitical control mechanisms under Franco.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though her academic contributions are notable. She has advised no listed graduate students but maintains active research collaborations. Her work interrogates intersections of aesthetics, politics, and identity in Iberian contexts, with ongoing engagement in both pre-digital and digital artistic conceptualizations.
