CURRENT SCHOLARLY PROJECTS

My on-going research on the various expressions (literary, philosophical, political) of the discourse on pleasure in eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century French texts has led me to investigate recently its formulation in utopian texts, such as Charles Fourier's Le Nouveau monde amoureux and Saint-Simon's Le Nouveau christianisme. These works together with the study of texts by Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé lay the foundation for a new book on the Political Economy of the Senses.
