My research focuses on imperial cross-cultural perceptions and representations in Renaissance and Baroque literature, particularly in theater and relaciones de sucesos (news pamphlets). I am especially interested in how literary texts reflect and shape the dynamics of cultural and religious exchange between Catholic Spain and the Protestant world, both within Europe and across the globe. My work explores how literature portrays the coexistence and interaction of different confessional groups, with a particular emphasis on the Early Modern period—a time marked by unprecedented global connectedness, as Africans, Asians, Americans, and Europeans increasingly undertook transoceanic journeys.
