Research
Professor Pineda's research interests focus on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish American literature and culture, and explore questions such as these: How does culture travel across different contexts? What is the relationship between location and knowledge? In addition to several articles and book chapters, she has written Geopolíticas de la cultura finisecular en Buenos Aires, París y México: las revistas literarias y el modernismo, a book on the transatlantic literary practices of modernistas. She has also co-edited two anthologies, Hacia el país del mezcal, a collection of American travel accounts in Mexico, and Alfonso Reyes y los estudios latinoamericanos, a collection of critical essays which aim at relocating this Mexican humanist's thought in the context of contemporary theory.
She is currently at work on a book project on Mexico City, its lettered culture, and the Mexican Revolution.
Professor Pineda was awarded a grant by the US-Mexico Fund for Culture and the Rockefeller Foundation, and was a member of the SNI (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores) in Mexico (1999-2001). She has held visiting appointments at Brown University and M.I.T. Among the courses she teaches are Nineteenth-Century Spanish American literature, Modernismo, and the Mexican Revolution. She is also a faculty member in the Latin American Studies Program at Boston University.
