Lynn Mastellotto is Assistant Professor of English Language, Linguistics and Translation at the University for Foreigners of Siena, Italy. Her research focuses on identity in narrative discourse, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism in cultural theory, multimodal communication, and intermediality in translation. Informed by an interdisciplinary approach that draws on linguistics, cultural studies, and literary criticism, her research explores how ideas and words cross geographical, linguistic, cultural, disciplinary and code boundaries.
