Dr Cordula Boecking
Biography
Cordula Böcking studied German and English literature and language at the University of Freiburg and the Free University of Berlin before undertaking doctoral studies on the early modern author Jörg Wickram at Trinity College Dublin. Following the award of a PhD in German literature, she worked as an IRCHSS Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Germanic Studies at Trinity, where she investigated medieval appropriations of the Amazon myth. Prior to joining the Department of German at Maynooth, Cordula has held lectureships at the University of St Andrews and the University of Cambridge.
Research Interests
Cordula’s research interests lie originally in the area of medieval and early modern studies and their intersection with cultural studies, with a particular concern for questions of gender and alterity and how they may be related. More recent research focuses on constructions of Orient and Occident in contemporary Turkish-German text and film, examining the link between transgressive femininity/masculinity and cultural otherness. Other key areas of interest include intercultural transmission of ideas and myth reception, and it is in this context that she is currently investigating the reception of Jeanne d’Arc and this figure’s significance for the formation of European identities through literature and film in the post-medieval world.
