Nina’s research focuses on questions of transculturality, hybridity, and anthropophagy/cannibalism as transcultural literary strategies. Specifically, she is looking at the relationship between Germany and Brazil starting from early travel logs, collected tales from Theodor Koch-Grünberg, the Brazilian modernist Mário de Andrade, up to the theater of Milo Rau. She is also interested in the study of Fairy Tales, transnational literature, literature and migration, as well as Germany-Africa relations.
