Associate Professor of Portuguese, Brazilian, and Lusophone African Literature
Ph.D., Brown University, 2002

Dr. Robert Moser's published articles and reviews have appeared in various journals including Portuguese Literary and Cultural Studies, Hispania, Leituras: Revista da Biblioteca Nacional, Imago Mundi, Luso-Brazilian Review as well as the volume Images of the Corpse. Much of his work has been focused on the figure of the dead and related expressions of haunting and mourning in Luso-Brazilian literature. His most recent research in this area focuses more specifically on the topos of the posthumous and other narrative "dislocations" in Machado de Assis's novels, short stories, poetry, and crônicas.

Moser's manuscript "The Carnivalesque Defunto: Death and the Dead in Modern Literature" is currently under review for book publication. He is also working on an English translation of the play "As Aventuras do Tio Patinhas" by Brazilian playwright Augusto Boal (founder of the Theater of the Oppressed), for eventual stage production at UGA.
