Presentation

Of Irish and French nationality, I am a graduate in English and French of UCD, where I was an Entrance Scholar and French Prize winner. After research for a Maîtrise ès-lettres on André Breton and a Doctorat ès-lettres on literature and psychonanalysis in France, working in the Université de Bordeaux III under Professor Claude-Gilbert Dubois, I obtained 8th place in France in the post-doctoral competitive Agrégation in 1983. I was appointed to the Université de Rennes II and in 1988, appointed to UCC, where I have been responsible for introducing and developing specialist courses on French cultural studies, theory and thought, women's studies, translation and interpreting.

I set up the MA (Translation Studies) in 1991. I developed the French Department Media Room, and organised the School of Languages and Literature's first conference on language teaching methodology in 1992 (editing a selection of proceedings in 1994).

In 2000 I was invited by the Irish Translators' and Interpreters' Association / Cumann Aistritheoiri agus Teangairi na hEireann (of which I am past Chairperson) to give the annual St Jerome lecture on International Translation Day, 29th September: Translation as Cultural Memory: Visions and Revisions of Identity in Early Irish and Contemporary Anglo-Irish Literature.

In 2001 I was invited to lecture on Jean Renoir's cinema in Harvard University's Department of Romance Languages and Literature, and was awarded, jointly with Dr Martin Munro (University of the West Indies) the French Embassy's Translation Prize Prix de l'Ambassade.

I am a Founder Member and Executive Member of the Paris-based Societé francaise de mémétique, founded in 2000, which brings together scientists and cultural theorists to reflect on issues of cognition and cultural transfer in the new interdisciplinary area of memetics. I was Chair of UCC's School of Languages and Literature for 2002-2004.

The Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) awarded me a Government of Ireland Senior Research Fellowship 2003-2004 to carry out full-time research on the tragic heroine in fifth-century BCE Greek, seventeenth-century French and contemporary drama.

I am one of the co-editors of the forthcoming complete annotated scholarly edition of the works of George Sand.

The University of Barcelona (Autonoma) invited me to give the opening keynote lecture at their conference Sujet et traduction in November 2004 on: Lector, auctor, auctoritas: la question du sujet dans les écrits d’Aristote, Montaigne et Compagnon.

The research centre ERCIF (Universite Michel de Montaigne-Bordeaux III) invited me to give the opening keynote lecture of their 20th anniversary conference Le Féminin en héritage in April 2005 on: Fruits défendus et corps défendant dans Extrême fidélité d'Hélène Cixous.

My interests other than teaching and writing include singing (especially with St Mary's College of Clerks Choral), art history and painting, philosophy and psychology, ancient cultures, rose-growing, swimming.

Organisation of conferences:

- La Mémoire du livre 27 mai 2005
- Journée George Sand 15 octobre 2004
- UCC School of Language and Literature's XII Annual Conference Language, Literature and the Imaginaire 2-4 May 2003.
- International symposium Journées autour d'Antoine Compagnon in celebration of the contribution to literary criticism of the internationally-celebrated French Studies scholar Antoine Compagnon, professeur à la Sorbonne and Blanche W. Knopf Professor of French at Columbia University, on 17-18 May 2002.
- UCC School of Languages and Literature's XI annual conference on literature and cultural studies Hemispheres on 3-5 May 2002.
- I was Convenor 2000-2004 of the French Department Research Seminar.

Research and teaching interests

French and comparative literature and thought, especially (1) theory (psychoanalysis and philosophy applied to literature; myth and subjectivity; contemporary French theory, especially Barthes, Bourdieu, Compagnon; the rhetoric of the body, especially in Cixous, Kristéva, Belghoul; art history) and (2) cultural studies (including women in the media and traductology).

My current research project, generously supported by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, is on the myth, representation and memetics of the tragic heroine, especially in 5th century Greek, 17th century French and late 20th century tragedy.

My publications include:

2003-2004

I have been awarded a Government of Ireland Senior Research Fellowship for the academic year 2003-3004. As this award involves my working full-time on my research project, the Irish Research Council for the Humanities nad Social Sciences has given funding for my teaching to be carried out by Dr Loic Guyon, from 1st September 2003. Some course texts have been changed as a consequence for FR4201 (Laclos Les liaisons dangereuses; Stael-Holstein Delphine; Colette Claudine à l'école) and FR2202 (Hugo Le Dernier jour d'un condamné; Zola Nana and a selection of poems (supplied) by Villon, Hugo, Nerval, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Ponge and others.) See Room 1.15 for further details.
