Emily Ridge

Lecturer à l’Université de Galway et chercheuse invitée du 1er septembre 2024 au 30 juin 2025 au laboratoire IHRIM (UMR 5317) et au Département des langues, littératures et civilisations étrangères de l’École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. Référente : Vanessa Guignery.

Emily Ridge is a Lecturer in the School of English, Media and Creative Arts at the University of Galway, having previously taught at City University of Hong Kong and the Education University of Hong Kong. She teaches in the areas of modernism, twentieth-century literature and modern women’s writing. Her first monograph, Portable Modernisms: The Art of Travelling Light (published by Edinburgh University Press in 2017), examined the heady effects of a new ‘travel light’ ethos on authorial practice and vision during the modernist period, but it equally tracked the changing resonances of this idea against a backdrop of political displacement and war from the 1930s onwards, when portability became less a choice than a necessity. She completed a further project, funded by a Hong Kong Research Grants Council award, on the complicated politics of literary hospitality in and around the Second World War, resulting in a volume of essays (co-edited with Jeffrey Clapp) on the subject of the intersecting concerns of security and hospitality in modern and contemporary literature and culture (Routledge 2015), as well as articles and book chapters on the work of Stefan Zweig, archival methodologies and on the interwar administration of hospitality at the English P.E.N. During her time at the ENS de Lyon, she is working on completing her second monograph on the topic of mid-century British women writers and emotion regulation. Related to this project, she co-edited a special issue (with Alexandra Peat) on ‘Discourses of Emotional Labour’ in Women: A Cultural Review in 2023.

Ian Haywood

Du 14 au 25 octobre 2024, référente : Rachel Rogers (CAS, UT2J)

I have spent most of my career at the University of Roehampton. I became Professor of English in 2007 and since then I have been Director of the Centre for Research in Romanticism, and leader of the ‘Romantic Illustration Network’ https://romanticillustrationnetwork.wordpress.com/events/). The network has recently produced a volume of essays, Romanticism and Illustration (Cambridge University Press, 2019) which I co-edited with Susan Matthews and Mary L. Shannon. I was President of BARS (British Association for Romantic Studies) from 2015 to 2019.

Though I have worked on many areas of British literature, most of my research now focuses on the radical politics and visual culture of the period 1750-1850, especially political caricature. I established a new paradigm for caricature studies in Romanticism and Caricature (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and my recent books Queen Caroline and the Power of Caricature in Georgian England (Palgrave 2023) and The Rise of Victorian Caricature (Palgrave 2020) fill a gap in our knowledge of the evolution of graphic satire.

In addition to my monographs Bloody Romanticism (Palgrave 2006) and The Revolution in Popular Literature (2004), I also co-edited Spain in British Romanticism (Palgrave, 2018) and The Gordon Riots (2012).

My research has been supported by awards from the AHRC, Leverhulme, British Academy, Research Society for Victorian Periodicals (RSVP) and many libraries and collections including the Lewis Walpole, Beinecke, Huntington, Harry Ransom, and Wilhelm Busch Museum of Caricature. 

I have given keynote talks and invited lectures in many countries including Taiwan, Japan, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Holland, and Sweden. 

I welcome applications for research supervision in any of my areas of expertise.

Kirsten Shepherd-Barr

Du 9 au 22 février 2025, référente : Emeline Jouve (CAS, UT2J)

Professor of English and Theatre Studies; Tutorial Fellow, St Catherine’s College, Oxford University

My main research interests lie within drama and theatre studies:  the interaction between theatre and science; the writings of Henrik Ibsen; and the relationship between modernism and theatrical performance.  Amongst my recent publications are The Cambridge Companion to Theatre and Science (2020), Modern Drama: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2016), Twentieth-Century Approaches to Literature:  Late Victorian into Modern (OUP, 2016, co-edited with Laura Marcus and Michele Mendelssohn), and several book chapters and articles in all three of these research fields.

With regard to theatre and science, my book Theatre and Evolution from Ibsen to Beckett (Columbia University Press, 2015), which was supported by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 2011-12, traces how the central ideas of evolutionary theory have made their way onto the stage, either directly or indirectly, since the 1820s.  You can read Dan Rebellato’s review of the book in Contemporary Theatre Review here.  This work on theatrical engagements with evolutionary ideas stems from my second book, Science on Stage: From Doctor Faustus to Copenhagen (Princeton University Press, 2006; paperback 2012), and from the session I organized and chaired on Darwin and the Stage for the international Darwin Festival in Cambridge (2009). I have also published articles on theatre and science in Women:  A Cultural Review, American Scientist, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, Physics World, Nature, and Gramma, and together with Dr Carina Bartleet I co-edited two special issues of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (December 2013 and September 2014) on “New Directions in Theatre and Science.”  My chapter on nineteenth-century theatre’s engagements with mechanisms of transmission appears in Theatres of Contagion, ed. Fintan Walsh (2019).  I am also developing a research interest in theatre, technology, and backstage labor, and gave a keynote address on this topic at the 2018 conference of the British Society for Literature and Science.  A chapter based on this material appears in my Cambridge Companion to Theatre and Science.  Also within the realm of theatre and science, I am developing research on theatre and climate change, resulting in two publications co-authored with Dr Hannah Simpson (2022 and 2023).

My work on Ibsen and on theatrical modernism began with my first book, Ibsen and Early Modernist Theatre, 1890-1900 (Westport, CT:  Greenwood Press, 1997), a comparison of the first British and French productions of Ibsen’s plays and the critical responses to them in relation to modernism and the avant-garde theatre.  Since then I have continued to explore the role of theatrical performance within the modernist movement, for example looking at the use of scent in the Théâtre d’Art’s synaesthetic production of Song of Songs in 1891 (Theatre Research International), analyzing Edvard Munch’s set designs for Ibsen plays produced by Max Reinhardt (Nordic Theatre Studies), rethinking Ibsen’s “globalism” (Ibsen Studies), and reconsidering Joyce’s play Exiles within its theatrical context (Theatre Research International).  To hear me discussing Ibsen on Melvyn Bragg’s « In Our Time » in May 2018, listen here:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b42q58  My chapter on gender and theatricality in Hedda Gabler appears in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler:  Philosophical Perspectives, ed. Kristin Gjesdal (OUP, 2017).  It looks closely at Elizabeth Robins, actress, novelist, playwrights, feminist writer and activist, who played the first Hedda in London and was one of the key figures in Ibsen’s reception in Britain.  Together with Dr Alexandra Paddock I wrote the ‘Elizabeth Robins’ entry for Oxford Bibliographies On-Line for Oxford University Press (2018) which places Robins more prominently within nineteenth-century studies.

Geoffrey Cox

Du 28 avril au 16 mai 2025, référente : Anita Jorge (CAS, UT2J)

Senior Lecturer, Department of Media, Humanities and the Arts, University of Huddersfield

Geoffrey Cox began his musical career in London as a guitarist in a post-punk, new wave band in 1979. Rejecting all forms of structured musical learning, he submerged himself in various rock groups before finally embarking on a course of musical study at Liverpool Community College in 1989 which led to the formation of a jazz-influenced quintet playing mostly his own music.  This, in turn, led to an exploration of classical and contemporary music through an HND. He completed a First class honours degree in composition at Huddersfield in 1999  and a PhD in 2007 which focuses on the use of borrowed material in sampled and written form across a wide variety of musical genres. Other specialisms include Popular Musicology (the history and effect of technological developments on popular music) and working with visual images in a musical context, work which has become increasingly important to his output.

Lene Østermark-Johansen

Du 12 au 26 mai 2025, référente : Catherine Delyfer (CAS, UT2J)

I hold joint degrees in English literature and art history, and the majority of my research centres on word-image relations, primarily in the nineteenth century. My interests have long revolved around literary and visual portraiture, ekphrasis, and the interrelationship between language, sculpture and literature. I am interested in the literary forms chosen for writing about sculpture in the nineteenth century, in the stratification of language and in the way in which language can evoke three-dimensionality. Another current research interest is nineteenth-century cosmopolitanism, going back to some of my earlier work about the Victorian reception of the Italian Renaissance.

From 2021 to 2025 I am the Principal Investigator of the Velux-funded research project ‘Where Love Happens: Topographies of Emotions in Nineteenth-Century European Literature’:
https://engerom.ku.dk/english/research/centres_projects/where-love-happens/

My research group examines and challenges the concept of romantic love from a broad range of philosophical, literary, technological and legal viewpoints. My own research project is related to emotions and movement, to the love tourism generated by the great love stories from Héloïse and Abelard onwards. The literary pilgrimages inspired by Dante, Shakespeare, Rousseau, and the Brontës are at the heart of my research, as I examine how reading about love moves lovers out of their private spheres and into European tourism.

« I have developed a rhetorically based approach to metaphor known as Critical Metaphor Analysis. it draws on methodologies and perspectives developed in corpus linguistics, critical linguistics and cognitive semantics (see Corpus Approaches to Critical Metaphor Analysis, Palgrave 2004). I explain rhetorical choices – and in particular metaphor choices – with reference to individual pragmatic, cognitive and linguistic knowledge and to the social resources of culture, ideology and history. I am currently working on the Discourse of Brexit across a range of genres (including the press, twitter and political speeches), in particular identifying the framing effects of metaphor. »

I am interested in how scientists transform our understanding of what it means to be in the world. To study this, I think about the role of place and place-making in scientific work. My first book, Placing Outer Space: An Earthly Ethnography of Other Worlds, is about planetary scientists and how they transform planets from scientific objects into worlds. In so doing, Mars scientists and exoplanet astronomers are re-shaping our understanding of the universe, presenting a cosmos filled with places and destinations instead of an empty void. Earth, as a planet and a place, is implicated in this changing cosmology. My research asks how the planetary imagination developed by scientist looking outward might be turned inward and used to comprehend Earth on a planetary scale, necessary for confronting today’s environmental and political crises.

Currently, I am investigating the re-emerging technology of virtual reality. As a technology of immersion, VR promises to transport us to existing and fictitious places. This research is supported by an NSF Scholars Award, and I will be conducting ethnographic fieldwork in Los Angeles to study how the particular mix of entertainment, academic research, and industry development shape VR and its attending community. Through reading, teaching, and writing, I endeavor to link conversations in sociocultural anthropology with other fields of inquiry, including science and technology studies, media studies, cultural geography, environmental humanities, and history of science and technology. »

Edwige Tamalet Talbayev

Associate Professor of French and Director of Middle East and North African Studies, Tulane University

Chercheure invitée du 10 au 21 mai 2022 au Laboratoire CAS (EA 801) de l’Université Toulouse Jean-Jaurès (référente : Isabelle Keller-Privat)

Edwige Tamalet Talbayev’s work focuses on the intersection of modernity, postcoloniality, and transnationalism in the Maghreb and the Mediterranean contact zone.

Her first book, The Transcontinental Maghreb: Francophone Literature across the Mediterranean, was published by Fordham University Press in 2017. Studying a Mediterranean-inspired body of texts from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Gibraltar in French, Arabic, and Spanish, the book argues for a transmaritime deployment of the Maghreb across Mediterranean sites to which it has been materially and culturally bound for millennia. Through a reflection on allegory and critical melancholia, the book shows how the Mediterranean decenters postcolonial nation-building projects and breathes new life into Maghrebi claims to an inclusive, democratic national ideal yet to be realized. Engaging the space of the sea, the hybridity it produces, and the way it has shaped such historical dynamics as globalization, imperialism, decolonization, and nationalism, The Transcontinental Maghreb rethinks the very nature of postcolonial histories and identities along its shores.

She is the co-editor of the collection Critically Mediterranean: Temporalities, Aesthetics, and Deployments of a Sea in crisis (Palgrave 2018), which probes the critical relevance of the Mediterranean as a theoretical entity and an aesthetic, hermeneutic, and theoretical category for the interpretation of culture in the modern era.

A second ongoing project, “Water Logics,” extends the reflection on the Mediterranean to other maritime contexts across the globe. Turning away from visions of the sea as a setting in which to examine the intersection of the histories of empire and capital, “Water logics” proposes to delve into the materiality of the aqueous as a site of alternative epistemologies and experiences of being. “Water Logics” will be the focus of an international conference to take place at Tulane on April 11-12, 2019.

Kathleen Donohue

Professor of History, Central Michigan University

Chercheure invitée du 20 mars au 9 avril 2022 au Laboratoire CAS (EA 801) de l’Université Toulouse Jean-Jaurès (référente : Françoise Coste)

Kathleen Donohue is Professor of History at Central Michigan University.

Professor Donohue is primarily interested in the ways in which Americans make sense of their political world. Her first book, Freedom from Want: American Liberalism and the Idea of the Consumer (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003; paperback 2005), looked at the role that American ideas about the producer and the consumer played in transforming free-market liberalism into its more activist modern counterpart. Recent publications include the edited collection Liberty and Justice for All? Rethinking Politics in Cold War America (Amherst, 2012) and an article “Choosing Conservatism in the 1930s: The Political Odyssey of F. J. Schlink,” which recently appeared in The Journal of the Historical Society. Her current book project, Information Wars: The Public’s Right to Know and the Making of Modern America, for which she received both a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and a Theodore Sorensen Research Fellowship, examines the ways in which the politics and political discourse surrounding the public’s right to know shaped public policy and ideas about democracy, citizenship and governance between 1945 and 1990. Professor Donohue has also taught in Germany on several occasions, most recently at universities in Bochum and Heidelberg.

David Scourfield

Professor Emeritus of Classics, Maynooth University

Chercheur invité du 14 mars au 2 avril 2022 au Laboratoire CAS (EA 801) de l’Université Toulouse Jean-Jaurès (référente : Isabelle Keller-Privat)

“I am interested in practically all aspects of Antiquity, and my research embraces both literature and ancient social and cultural history. In general, it has four main emphases: (a) bereavement and consolation in the ancient world; (b) the literature of late Antiquity, especially Jerome; (c) the Greek and Roman novel; (d) twentieth-century receptions of the classical world, especially in English literature from 1900 to 1939.  I am currently working on a monograph on E. M. Forster and Classics, as well as a new edition of his second novel, The Longest Journey, commissioned by Cambridge University Press as part of The Cambridge Edition of the Fiction of E. M. Forster; and I have for some time been working on a major book-length study of the ancient consolatory letter, where sociohistorical questions are as much of a concern as more traditional literary and philosophical matters.  Recent publications include a volume on representations of violence in Latin literature, Texts and Violence in the Roman World, co-edited with Monica Gale of Trinity College Dublin (Cambridge, 2018) ”.
