AMANDA CÁMARA GAMAZO

Amanda Cámara Gamazo is a PhD candidate in the Department of English and German Philology at the University of Zaragoza, where she holds a competitive research fellowship funded by the Diputación General de Aragón (DGA). Prior to her doctoral studies, she was awarded a postgraduate excellence scholarship that enabled her to pursue a Master’s degree in Education. She also received a distinguished award for her undergraduate final dissertation “Claustrophobia and Imprisonment in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber: Surviving Male Domination”. Her research interests centre on Australian and Aboriginal literature, with particular emphasis on feminist studies and their intersections with racial, postcolonial, and decolonial approaches. She is especially interested in narratives of the limit and the way in which literary representations negotiate identity and marginality within the Australian literary landscape. Her doctoral thesis, supervised by Dr. Bárbara Arizti, explores how contemporary Australian novels employ memory and female introspection as survival methods in restricting environments.
