Research Areas
Modern and Contemporary French Literature
1) Georges Perec, Raymond Queneau, and other Oulipo writers
The experimental literary group “Oulipo” engages in rethinking the norms and values that literature has traditionally taken for granted in various ways. My research aims to contextualize these activities within the framework of contemporary literature.
2) Literature Exploring the Everyday
This translation captures the essence of the research focus on examining ordinary and insignificant aspects of daily life and aligns with the context provided.
3) “Place” in literature
Research in this area explores the phenomenology of “place” as depicted in literary works, focusing on locations such as rooms, houses, streets, and cities.
