My research work and teaching deal with the relationships between the poetics of theoretical discourse and the literary field. I see the process of micro-reading as a "starting point" for a dialogue on issues in literary expression. I study the literary field from an interdisciplinary perspective, at the crossroads of the evolution of the novel, of literary theory, psychoanalysis, cinema and the plastic arts (painting and architecture). Generally speaking, I use deconstructivist theories to explore literary processes and cultural practices (experimental writing, archives). My fields of research include the use of "gender studies" and the poetics of literary translation.
