Biografia

My research addresses writing and reading media and how they impact on literary forms and practices. Ongoing projects deal with digital literature and electronic editing, from a literary studies and digital humanities perspective. The most significant results of this research can be seen in "Literary Simulation and the Digital Humanities: Reading, Editing, Writing" (Bloomsbury, 2022), "LdoD Archive: Collaborative Digital Archive of the Book of Disquiet" (CLP, 2017-2022), edited by Manuel Portela and António Rito Silva, and "Scripting Reading Motions: The Codex and the Computer as Self-Reflexive Machines" (MIT Press, 2013). I coordinate the PhD Programme in Materialities of Literature at the University of Coimbra.
