Dr. Patrizia Mcbride

Biography

Patrizia C. McBride is the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters and Senior Associate Dean for Social Sciences at Cornell University. Her research focuses on 18th to 20th-century literature and culture, with a strong interest in Modernism, literary theory, and the intersection with political theory. McBride has published extensively on the narrative practices of Weimar Germany, particularly how montage influenced storytelling and altered perceptions of literature and media. Her notable work, 'The Chatter of the Visible: Montage and Narrative in Weimar Germany,' examines the interplay between high and low-brow genres in the visual arts during this period. She is currently developing a monograph that delves into the complex relations between literary forms, journalism, and the cultural landscape of German-language literature throughout the 20th century. McBride actively engages with concepts from Austrian literature and fin-de-siècle Vienna and has received several accolades including the Max Kade Prize for her contributions to the field of German Studies.
