Federica Perazzini serves as a Researcher in the Department of Modern Literature and Culture at Sapienza University of Rome, teaching advanced English literature courses for the Master's Degree in Modern Philology through seminar formats under the PNRR ARmaME project where she acts as Principal Investigator. Her instruction covers Shakespearean tragedies (Hamlet, Macbeth) and modern/postmodern works (Mrs Dalloway, The Hours) with Italian-language delivery while maintaining English textual analysis. Her research traverses English literary history from the eighteenth century to contemporary media, specializing in Gothic literature's evolution across adaptations like Penny Dreadful, gender/queer theory investigations of female agency and deviance, fashion studies examining clothing as identity performance, and trauma theory applications. She integrates digital humanities methodologies with traditional close reading to analyze cultural representation and historical context, particularly evident in her computational studies of eighteenth-century phraseology and vestimentary symbolism. Perazzini's scholarly output demonstrates consistent thematic development across publications, with recent works exploring the intersection of Gothic tropes and science fiction, vestimentary identity construction in Defoe's narratives, and intersectional trauma in Victorian adaptations. Her research reveals a methodological preference for interdisciplinary frameworks that bridge literary analysis with cultural history and digital tools. As Principal Investigator of the PNRR ARmaME project, she directs research dissemination activities while supervising Master's students through course-based instruction. Though formal PhD advisees aren't documented, her teaching includes comprehensive assessment structures with ongoing assignments and written examinations requiring original textual analysis in English.
