Emanuela Guano earned her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. Her research interests range from the study of ideology and the built environment to the analysis of spatial practice and discourse, and from the critique of citizenship and the public sphere to the exploration of how gendered subjectivities are crafted in the public realm. In her ethnographies of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Emanuela Guano explored how the city functions as a locus, a medium, and a tool of hegemony and social and political struggle. Her current ethnographic project focuses on how residents of a north Italian city negotiate citizenship and the state through their everyday life.
