HELENA WULFF
Helena Wulff jest profesorem antropologii społecznej na Uniwersytecie w Sztokholmie. Jej obecne badania koncentrują się na ekspresywnych formach kulturowych w perspektywie transnarodowej. Badania transnarodowego świata tańca i pamięci społecznej poprzez taniec nasunęły pytania w odniesieniu do miejsca, mobilności i emocji, jak i w odniesieniu do kultury wizualnej. Jej najnowsze zainteresowania dotyczą współczesnych pisarzy irlandzkich, w kontekście pisania jako kulturowego procesu i formy. Jej badania prowadzone są w Londynie, Sztokholmie, Nowym Jorku, Frankfurcie nad Menem i od ponad dekady w Irlandii, zwłaszcza w Dublinie.
