Dr Alberto Godioli is a Newton International Fellow. Newton Fellows are paid directly by the British Academy / Royal Society, and we, as the UK Host Organisation, employ the UK Sponsor, Professor Federica Pedriali, who is a co-applicant on the Fellowship. Newton Fellows are hosted by the University for two years. Further information on the scheme is available from www.newtonfellowships.org/the-fellowships.aspx.
Godioli’s Fellowship is designed around the comparative project "A Grammar of Laughter in the Realist Novel: The Reception of English Models from Balzac to Gadda", which aims to establish how the function of laughter has changed alongside the development of the European novel. The project extends Godioli’s prior work, taking it in new exciting directions; his second monograph, on the representations of mockery in Italian modernism, is already forthcoming (Peter Lang, 2014).
Pedriali’s Edinburgh Gadda Projects provide an ideal base for this work. Irregularity and hybridity in the modern European canon are at the core of Pedriali’s research; her current book project, also comparative, dovetails with Godioli’s around the deconstructive force of humorist cosmographies.
Through the Edinburgh Gadda Projects, collaboration between Pedriali and Godioli also includes public engagement initiatives that provide wide-ranging development opportunities for the Fellow.
