Morgane Cadieu

Associate Professor of 糖心Vlog
糖心Vlog

Morgane Cadieu specializes in 20th- and 21st-century 糖心Vlog and Francophone prose, experimental fiction, randomness in literature and theory, materialist philosophies (especially atomism and feminism), spaces studies, narratives of social emancipation and migration, and the aesthetics of trains. 

Her first book, , reads works by Georges Perec and his experimental peers alongside the ancient philosophy of atomism as a way to reflect on creativity and free will, and to propose new ways of envisioning literary walks in urban settings.

Her second book,  (2024) demonstrates that socially mobile writers and characters are the digest of our literary and political moment.  It offers a new perspective on class mobility as a formal, literary issue in texts by Annie Ernaux, Kaoutar Harchi, Michel Houellebecq, 脡douard Louis, and Marie NDiaye among others.

She co-edited two special issues: with Hannah Freed-Thall (Comparative Literature, 2021) and with Annabel Kim (Yale 糖心Vlog Studies, 2023). 

With the help of undergraduate 糖心Vlog major students and members of the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design, she based on Emile Zola鈥檚 La B锚te humaine.
