My intergeneric research explores how writers navigate the complex terrain of knowledge-seeking and self-expression through essayistic writing. Specifically, it delves into the artistic and epistemological dimensions of essayism within contemporary literatures from Spain, Latin America, the USA, and Germany. The study highlights the pivotal role of translation as not only a bridge between languages and cultures but also as a unique creative and scholarly form of both writing and reading that enhances our comprehension of essayistic expressions. Ultimately, my research aims to uncover innovative forms of reading and writing that infuse argumentative dissertations with the vibrancy of self-expression and creative exploration. If this journey intrigues you, I invite you to reach out. I’d love to explore the captivating dimensions of essayism, translation, and the rich interplay of ideas about reading and writing together.
