Presentation

I obtained a doctoral degree in 2018 from Université Paris Diderot, where I also taught Chinese language. My research broadly deals with the emergence of a subjective expression in xiaoshuo and biji literature of the early and mid-Qing period. My dissertation, financed by a French “contrat doctoral” at the Doctoral School 131 and by a doctoral fellowship bestowed by the Chiang-Ching Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange, encompassed late imperial dream narratives of the Chinese literature of leisure. My dissertation was awarded with two doctoral dissertation prizes, by the Association française d’études chinoises and by the Institut des Humanités, Sciences et Sociétés of Paris Diderot (“Prix Robert Mankin”). I carried on my research on dream motifs in xiaoshuo and biji through a postdoctoral project conducted at the École française d’Extrême-Orient in 2019. I taught Chinese history and classical literature at the Université de Strasbourg for two semesters between 2019 and 2020. I completed a postdoctoral project as a visiting fellow of the Internationales Kolleg für Geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung (Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) that dealt with the failure and/or reinvention of traditional motifs in oneiric predictions, aiming at highlighting how authors of premodern times questioned usual prophetic and dream interpretation patterns and subverted them in inventive rewritings.
