The research group "Literature, Arts and Performance" (GIUV 2017-354) is based at the Department of English and German at Faculty of Philology, Translation and Media Studies at the Universitat de València.

LAP group members  investigate the dialogue between literature and the arts through the semiotic and cultural transmission of literary topoi from and to the Anglophone tradition. Special attention is paid to modern cultural practices from the perspective of intertextuality, intermediality, reception and adaptation theories and interart studies.

The group gathers researchers from various national and international universities who also work closely with practitioners from the performing arts (see team).

Our aim is to publish cutting-edge research as well as to disseminate knowledge for maximum public benefit. Therefore members of the group work with practitioners to communicate research findings through theatre, dance, poetry and other art forms (see outreach and public engagement).
