Elia Ntaousani has a Diploma in Architectural Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (Greece) and a Binational MA in Philosophy of Culture and Cultural Praxis from both Université Paris 8 (France) and Universität Stuttgart (Germany). She joined London Consortium’s MPhil/PhD in Humanities and Cultural Studies after having investigated cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue at Groupe d’Etudes et de Recherche sur les Mondialisations, Paris. She has co-edited 'Paris-Der Architekturführer' (Braun 2009) with Chris van Uffelen and has given papers at various international conferences. She recently presented part of her PhD work at the 'Cultures of Mobilities 2010 International Conference' (Aalborg, Denmark), at the 'Techno-topologies' Conference (Darmstadt, Germany), at the RGS-IBS International Annual Conference 2011 (Royal Geographical Society, London) as well as at the 'Poetic Corners seminar' together with Stephan Trüby and Alice Gavin (Waterside Project Space, London). She has worked for the AHRC Artists' Moving Image Research Network and is currently co-convenor of the Mediterranean Mobilities network.She is particularly interested in the contemporary debate about mondialisation(s)/globalisation, in the concepts of altermodernity and hyperculturality, in gender discourse, in cultural mobilities, in art praxis and in urbanities, the title of her MA dissertation being ‘The alter-poetics of the cities’. Her research at The London Consortium seeks to explore the contemporary synesthesia of Homecoming in the current state of increasingly interpenetrating societies and to open up a dialogue between homeland and homepage, reality and hyperreality, alterity and foreignness.
