Giulia Fiore

Giulia Fiore received her PhD in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2020 from the University of Bologna, where she graduated in Classical Philology in 2016, after spending a year at University College London. She is currently teaching assistant at the University of Bologna. 

Giulia’s work is concerned with Greek tragedy, Aristotle’s Poetics, and early modern reception of ancient drama and poetics (c. 1500 – c. 1700). She is especially interested in the emotional responses to tragedies, in the issue of tragic characters’ moral agency, and in the intersections between ethics, literature and cognitive humanities. 

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.
