Luanda Casella

Luanda Casella is a Brazilian writer, storyteller and performer living and working in Belgium since 2006. Her research focuses broadly on the ways individuals relate to narratives in order to create a sense of identity, to form their opinion of the world, and ultimately to protect themselves.

During the last years, she has been studying ‘the rhetorics of deception’, investigating the use of storytelling in communication media. More specifically, through a comparative study between instances of “deceptive discourse” in communication processes and the voices of first-person “unreliable narrators” in classic and contemporary works of fiction
