Chloé Chaudet

Chloé Chaudet is a senior lecturer in comparative literature at the University Clermont Auvergne and a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). She is a member of the Centre de Recherches sur les Littératures et la Sociopoétique (CELIS, University Clermont Auvergne).

She has specialized in the relations between literature, politics and globalization, in particular in the Atlantic area (e. g. her monography Écritures de l’engagement par temps de mondialisation, Paris, Classiques Garnier, 2016, or her translation from German of Ottmar Ette’s TransArea [2012] : TransArea. Une histoire littéraire de la mondialisation, Paris, Classiques Garnier, 2019). In recent years, she has extended this research to the study of fiction (literary, but also audiovisual and cinematographical).

Her current research project focuses on the fictions and imaginaries of conspiracy in the Atlantic area (19th-21st centuries) from a historical, narratological and sociocritical perspective. In March and April 2024, her stay in Oxford will enable her to complete her access to critical resources (1) on various English-language authors concerned by this project (such as Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, Henry James, Guy Thorne, Joseph Conrad, G. K. Chesterton, John Buchan, etc.) ; (2) regarding conspiracy studies, an interdisciplinary field of research that is currently mainly represented in the English-speaking academic world.
