M. Carmen Domínguez Gutiérrez is a tenure-track researcher (RTT, SPAN-01/C) at the Department of Political, Legal and International Studies of the University of Padua, where she teaches Spanish Language and Advanced Spanish Language.
With a dual background as both linguist and historian, she graduated in Spanish and Latin American Language and Literatures at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and in Modern and Contemporary History at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, where she also obtained a DEA in Modern History. She earned an international PhD jointly from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and Sorbonne Université with a dissertation on Spanish literary exile and its projection in Latin America, approached from political, cultural, and literary perspectives.
Her research interests include exile and migrant literature, glottopolitics, and literature not only as a critical and subversive voice against political power but also as a key to reading and understanding history. She has published two monographs and numerous articles, and translated historical, artistic, and philosophical texts for publishers such as Alianza, Anaya, Biblioteca Nueva, and Viella. She collaborates on research projects with universities and international centers in Argentina, Spain, and France, and serves on the editorial and scientific boards of academic journals and series in Italy and abroad.
In her teaching, she systematically integrates language instruction with cultural, historical, and political perspectives, convinced that language must be studied as a living expression of the society that uses it.

Area di ricerca
My research lies at the intersection of literary, historical, and linguistic studies, with a particular focus on the relationships between language, politics, and society in the pan-Hispanic world.
A first area of interest concerns the literature of the Spanish Republican exile in Latin America, which I study not only as a literary phenomenon but also as a cultural and political laboratory where identities, belongings, and strategies of resistance were reshaped. This interest also extends to contemporary migrant writing, approached as a space of negotiation and as a privileged site for understanding processes of integration, memory, and identity.
A second strand is glottopolitics, with a specific focus on language policies in the Spanish monarchy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and, more broadly, in the contemporary pan-Hispanic world. In this framework, I analyze language as an object of power, a tool of social, political, and cultural inclusion or exclusion, and a vehicle of power relations between center and periphery.
The third area addresses the study of literature as both a form of resistance and a mode of historical knowledge. I am particularly interested in the ways in which literature becomes a critical and subversive voice against political power while also serving as an essential lens through which to interpret history and its conflicts. This perspective informs my work on exile and Latin American dictatorships as well as my studies on authors such as José Bergamín and my ongoing research on Central American narrative, particularly the work of Horacio Castellanos Moya.
Tesi proposte
I supervise theses that fall within my areas of research and, more generally, within the field of Spanish language, culture, and literature. In particular:
Exile and migrant literature
Analysis of narrative or autobiographical texts related to the Spanish Republican exile in Latin America, or to contemporary migrant writing, with particular attention to themes of memory, identity, and resistance.
Glottopolitics and language policies
Studies on language policies in the pan-Hispanic world (from the Spanish monarchy to the contemporary period), focusing on the relationship between language and power, language and identity, and on the dynamics of translation and cultural circulation.
Literature and political power
Research on the role of literature as a critical and subversive tool, as well as a source of historical knowledge, with the possibility of working on Spanish and Latin American authors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Cultural and politico-literary history of contemporary Latin America
Topics related to the political, social, and cultural processes of Latin America from the 20th century to the present, analyzed from linguistic, literary, and cultural perspectives, with particular attention to the relationship between language, memory, and society.
