Aurelie Vialette is an assistant professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at OSU, specializing in Iberian Studies. Her research focuses on 19th to 21st-century Iberian literature and cultural studies (especially popular music, journalistic discourse, archival studies, and mass and working class organizations). Her work concentrates on the cultural production that responds to the workers’ educational and social phenomena, such as poverty, the rise of revolutionary movements, and the integration of masses of workers into the cultural, political, and social concert in 19th-century Iberia (Catalonia, Basque Country, Asturias, Galicia). She is currently working on a book, tentatively titled: Seducing the Masses: Philanthropists and the Working Class in Nineteenth-Century Iberian Culture.
Her second research project analyzes the creation of a journalistic network by women writers between Mexico and Spain in the second half of the nineteenth-century and is titled “El pasado es destructible: redes periodísticas femeninas en México y España en la segunda mitad del XIX”
Prof. Vialette has published her work in English, Spanish, Catalan and French in several journals such as the Revista de Estudios Hispánicos, the Catalan Review, the Anuari Verdaguer, among others.
Sponsored by the Iberian Studies Working Group of the Humanities Institute.
