Ph.D. programme in Foreign Literatures, Languages and Linguistics - 34° ciclo (September 1, 2018 - September 30, 2021)
Doctorate research program
As a research fellow for The INVITE project, Petra Bjelica is working on a PhD thesis about the influence of Shakespeare’s Hamlet on the character Stavrogin from Dostoevsky’s novel Demons, through the scope of the research area “The experience of the other: the stranger, the foreigner, the different, the outsider, the unknown”. Addressing the discursive parallels of Hamlet’s and Stavrogin’s identities, as examples of a radically ambivalent Western subjectivity that is understood as ‘the other’ from itself, her main aim is to trace the analogous motifs and intertextual references between these two characters.
