Curriculum Vitae

Andrea Chiurato obtained his PhD in Comparative Literature. Le letterature, le culture e l'Europa: storia, scrittura e traduzione nel 2008, proposing an analysis of the relations between the Nouveau Roman and the Italian neo-avant-garde: La linea Butor. The experimental novel in France and Italy from 1953 to 1969.

He currently holds the position of Associate Professor at the IULM University, actively collaborating in the activities promoted by the UNESCO Chair, "Cultural and Comparative Studies on Imaginary".

His studies focus on two main areas of interest: the avant-gardes of the second half of the 20th century, with particular attention to experimental narrative; the evolution of the city's image between the 19th and 21st centuries. Publications dedicated to these two areas include, respectively: The rearguard of the avant-garde (2011); where the city ends. Reflections on the work of J. G. Ballard (2013) and The Metropolis at the Edge. Otherness, diversity and exclusion between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (2016).

Andrea Chiurato completed his Ph.D in Comparative Literature in 2008, with a thesis on the relationship between the Nouveau Roman and the new Italian avant-garde, entitled The Butor Front. The Experimental Novel in Italy from 1953 to 1969.
