Carina González graduated from University of Buenos Aires where she specialized in Latin American Modern Literature. She completed her Ph. D. in 2007 at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Her dissertation, Wandering virtues. Chaos and Eccentricity in Juan Rodolfo Wilcock explores the creation of a new narrative derived from cultural displacements throughout the Atlantic. She focused her research on Juan Rodolfo Wilcock, an Argentinean writer who emigrated to Italy in the 60’s. His eclectic writings can be viewed as a way of subverting the traditional canon by incorporating external discourses such as technology, entropy and mass media.

Her book Ficciones de lo raro. Dispersión y desaparición de Juan Rodolfo Wilcock will be published next year, and her recent essay, “Interruption of the National: Technological Utopias of Pre-Globalization,” will appear in The Enigma of Arrival: New Modernities in the Third World. Purdue University Press, 2010.

She is currently working on a new research project related to Latin American writers and Exile. Her main areas of interest are Transatlantic Studies, Migration and Literary Theory.
