我的教学 中心的学生, and aims to create spaces for students to explore francophone literature, 电影, 和文化. My courses are designed as spaces for students to explore the stakes of literature in identity, 民族主义, and history from the medieval period to the present. I have created classes ranging from “Genre and 性别 in Romance” to “Literary Orientalisms from Marco Polo to the Present” and “For the Love of Film: Agnès Varda & 雅克一种印刷用纸.“浪漫中的类型和性别”关注的是如何 罗马人, a nascent literary genre at the turn of the 13th century, 想象的欲望, 同意, 性别, 权力, 文学的过去和未来, 以及社会和阶级结构. This course also explores how modern notions of the Middle Ages frame our relation to past and present political, 社会, 文化规范. “Sexuality and Power in Maghrebin Literature and Culture,另一个高层调查, 关注摩洛哥, 阿尔及利亚, 散居小说, 重点是性和权力, 后殖民影响和创伤, 抵制规范, 并在20世纪和21世纪的小说中出现. I aim for my classes to give students a safe space to re-imagine how authors writing in French reimagine and rebuild the world they inhabit, how norms are created and resisted in literary and 电影ic works, 以及我们如何, 作为读者, 相互作用, 回复, 理解这些文本.
我的研究重点 is on the Francophone literary world at the turn of the 13th century, 当时法语被用作文学语言, 商品, and colonial language from England to the Crusader kingdoms in the Levant. My current project insists upon romance being a political genre in late-twelfth and early-to-mid-thirteenth-century romances. 这源自酷儿理论和生命政治, or the ways in which politics and government control, 部署, racialize, and understand 的身体 to analyze the very root of sovereignty and the fictions of the sovereign’s relation to governance in medieval literature 和文化. I argue that medieval literature helps us understand that longer history of sovereignty’s relation to populations, 的身体, 以及关于民族和国家地位的虚构, dismantling our current notions of biopolitical trajectories and francophone literary history. 追寻圣杯的轨迹, as it is renewed with each new version of the Grail quest, 这样我们就能追踪到, 适应, and continuations are acts of reading as much as they are acts of writing and composition. This project upsets trajectories of Grail romance as it has been understood, and rewrites the history of romance as a politically-engaged genre. This intervention aims to reposition romance as a genre that re-imagines political pasts and proposes alternate futures.
