Ivana Perica

Caponeu Team Member • Scholar

Ivana Perica, PhD, is a Research Assostant at the Leibniz Centre for Literary and Cultural Research Berlin (ZfL). As a postdoctoral researcher, she is associated with the ZfL, where she organised the First annual conference of the CAPONEU consortium together with other Berlin team members. Together with the rest of the team, she is also organising three workshops, leading a three-year book club on “Politics and Literature” and preparing a collective monograph on selected political novels of the 20^th and 21^st centuries. She is working on a monograph with the working title How to read a political novel.

Her research is concerned with the relationship between literary writing and politics and the intersections between literary and political theory. She focuses mainly on 20^th- and 21^st-century literature, with particular attention to literary public spheres and the socialist third way as it has evolved in the literary imaginary of the past century.
