Marcelo Nogueira is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Johns Hopkins University. He is an affiliated faculty member in the Center for Advanced Media Studies and the Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies program. Dr. Nogueira’s research focuses on modern and contemporary Latin American poetry, popular music, sonic and visual cultures, with a special emphasis on Brazil. Drawing on literary history, media theory, sound studies, and ethnomusicology, he investigates language and sound in the avant-gardes, modernism, concrete poetry, and the art of songwriting in Latin America. His book manuscript, tentatively titled "Brazilian Sound Matters: Poetry, Popular Music, and Art," explores how sonic materialities intersected with diverse literary, artistic, and cultural objects from mid-twentieth century to the present in Brazil. He earned his PhD in Romance Studies from Duke University in 2022.
