Der Traum von der Eigerbesteigung
Christina Wald's scholarly work delves into contemporary and early modern drama, feminist and gender theory, and cinematic adaptations of Jane Austen's novels. She is particularly interested in rhetorical figures, such as repetition, examining how these literary devices manifest across dramatic and filmic mediums. Her analysis also explores the influence of feminist and gender theory on the interpretation of literary works and their screen translations. Wald brings a deep understanding of literary theory and its intersection with visual culture to her research.
