Ellen Lambrechts

Ellen Lambrechts has obtained a Master’s degree in Spanish and French literature and linguistics at the University of Leuven, and studied Hispanic philology at the University of Seville. In 2016 she started a PhD project at the University of Leuven, Campus Brussels, on the translation and reception of the contemporary Peruvian fantastic narrative into French, Anglo-American, and Brazilian literary systems. In particular, the project analyses how the manipulations of narrative enunciation that are characteristic of the so-called “fantástico de discurso” are reproduced in the different target languages, focusing not only on the translational shifts, but also on its aesthetical and ideological consequences in a transnational context.
