| Achille Castaldo, Teaching Assistant
 Please note: Achille has left the "Romance Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date. My areas of specialization are Modern and Contemporary Italian and French Literature, Aesthetics of Cinema, and Literary theory. My work focuses on the rhetorical forms through which literature and cinema are able (or imagined) to be politically effective in the materiality of conflicts.
