My research focuses on intermedial studies and the politics of aesthetics in literature, visual art, and music. I am particularly interested in the creation and reform of cultural-political spaces – such as the theatre, the public press, and the museum – and how these spaces are influenced by notions of representation, history, emancipation, sovereignty, and partisanship. Prioritizing a multidisciplinary approach, my projects span the human and social sciences as well as bioethics and seek to understand how and why art and politics collide. Special areas of interest include: theories and practices of intermediality; the philosophy of Jacques Rancière; interwar cultural diplomacy; early modern and modernist art, music, and literature; opera studies. Before joining the University of Montreal in 2019, I was Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria.

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.
