Bárbara Aranda C. is a doctoral researcher at DIMAS, University of Regensburg. Her research focuses on contemporary Latin American literature, particularly examining how genres and modes such as horror, gothic, fantastic, and travel narratives engage with cultural and political imaginaries. She is especially interested in how these narratives articulate issues of memory, space and identity, often drawing on decolonial and postcolonial perspectives. She also incorporates gender studies into her work, examining the intersection of gender and violence, and its representation in literary and visual cultures.
