Sara Parisi is a Teaching Fellow in Italian Studies at the University of Warwick. She focuses on the intersections between images and words, with a particular emphasis on the ontological meanings of ekphrasis. Her research explores how Italian literature has influenced the European ekphrastic tradition throughout the twentieth century, investigating diverse interdisciplinary practices among writers and artists. Parisi's doctoral research examined the relationship between images and words in the works of Italian author Leonardo Sciascia, employing a philological and multidisciplinary approach to demonstrate Sciascia’s understanding of visual arts and how this informed his narrative choices. She has presented her findings at international conferences and is currently preparing a monograph that aims to illuminate Sciascia's pioneering role in literature that integrates visual dimensions. Additionally, Parisi collaborates with the University of Toronto on a podcast about Sciascia and has been involved in initiatives that promote the study of Italian language and culture, including being an editor for an academic journal focused on Italian literature. Her academic experience includes roles such as SSLC Academic Convenor and Exam Secretary for Italian Studies, along with various conference organization duties.
