Employed on the project “Imaginary Renderings of the Apocalypse in Contemporary Hispano-American Literature,” which is funded by the Flemish Research Council (FWO-Vlaanderen), Annelies investigates different expressions of the apocalyptic urban chronotope (rewritings of the science fiction genre, dystopic spaces, revised utopias) in the work of contemporary Argentinian writers such as Marcelo Cohen, Sergio Chejfec, Rafael Pinedo, Pedro Mairal and César Aira.
