Giulia Fiore

Giulia Fiore is currently a teaching tutor at the University of Bologna and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici in Naples.

She received her PhD in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2020 from the University of Bologna, where she graduated in Classical Philology in 2016, after having spent a year at University College London. She worked on her research project at the Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance in Tours, at the Warburg Institute in London, at the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama in Oxford and, as a Postdoctoral Fellow, at the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici in Naples.

Giulia’s work is especially concerned with Greek tragedy, Aristotle’s Poetics and Nicomachean Ethics, and early modern reception of ancient drama (c. 1500 – c. 1700). She is broadly interested in the afterlife of Classical antiquity in the early modern period; in the transmission, reception, and reuse of ideas across geographical and chronological boundaries; in the history of emotions and in the intersections between ethics, literature and cognitive humanities.
