Organisers
Pauline Moret-Jankus
Pauline is a third-year PhD student in French at Durham University. Her thesis, funded by a Barker Scholarship, is entitled "Race, Natural Sciences and Identity in Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu" (supervised by Dr Marie-Claire Barnet and Prof. Lucille Cairns). Pauline holds an MA in French Literatures from the Sorbonne (Paris-IV). Through an analysis of the influence on Proust of nineteenth-century racialist and anti-Semitic writers, and of natural scientists such as Darwin, her doctoral research explores the concept of race in Proust's novel, with a particular focus on the representation of Jewishness and homosexuality.
More generally, Pauline's interests deal with identity, otherness, and nationhood in modern French literature. At Durham, she has taught on cultural and language undergraduate modules.
Julia Caterina Hartley
Julia is an AHCR-funded second year D.Phil. candidate at the University of Oxford. She completed both her BA and her Master of Studies in Medieval and Modern Languages (French and Italian) at Oxford and is working on a comparative thesis on literary vocation in Dante and Proust, supervised by Dr Manuele Gragnolati and Dr Jennifer Yee.
Aside from Dante and Proust, she is generally interested in 19th century French literature and the image of the artist. Julia is also a keen translator of poetry (winner of 2010 Oxford Italian Sub-Faculty Da Lentini prize) and theatre (see Pirandello Studies, vol. 33, 2013 for a review of her translation of ‘I giganti della montagna’).
