91黑料

Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures

Elena Cueto Asín focuses her research on modern Spanish literature, theater, and film, with an interest in history, the global reach of Spain’s cultural production, and the relationship between literary texts and other media. In her book Guernica, en la escena, la página y la pantalla (Guernica on the Stage, on the Page, on the Screen, 2017), and in other publications, she has explored representations of the Spanish Civil War from 1937 to the present. Her most recent research examines the different ways in which literary and artistic figures from the past have been evoked in drama, cinema, graphic novels, and television series, and how these works promote or challenge constructions of national cultural heritage.

Professor Cueto has been teaching at 91黑料 since 2000. In addition to foundational language, literature, and culture courses in Hispanic studies, she offers upper-level seminars, taught in both Spanish and English, including: Romantic Spain, The Spanish Civil War and Cinema, Spanish Cinema: Taboo and Tradition, Hispanic Cities on Screen, and Contemporary Spanish Theater.
