She is the author of (for example) of “Stillness Is a Move: Helen Keller and the Kin-aesthetics of Autobiography” (American Literary History (Fall 2013)) and “Emily Dickinson in Domingo” (J19 (Spring 2013)).Michael Collins’s talk will follow: “The Gestural Politics and Poetics of the Short Story.”Michael Collins’s first monograph, entitled The Drama of the American Short Story, 1800 – 1865, came out in October 2016 with University of Michigan Press. In the book he develops a new generic theory of the antebellum short story by utilising performance and ritual theory. https://www.press.umich.edu/9241322/drama_of_the_american_short_story_1800_1865His second area of research concerns how realist fiction explores the effect of emergent theories of culture upon radical, transnational conceptions of class solidarity. The planned monograph is entitled After Haymarket: Class and Culture in the American Gilded Age. ​The seminar will take place at 2.30 pm, room 103, Bâtiment “Olympe-de-Gouges”, Université Paris Diderot, 8 place Paul-Ricoeur, 75013, métro/RER Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand, Paris. plan-olympe-de-gougesContact: cecile.roudeau@gmail.com
