About

I am an Early Career Researcher working in French Studies and Comparative Literature. I specialise in text-image relations, and my research is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on literature, visual art and cinema of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I am currently working on a project on automatism and automation.
