Conflicts, representations and dialogues in the English-speaking World (CORPUS)

Research unit - UR 4295

Description

CORPUS focuses its research on the issue of heritage, its ruptures and its reappropriations in English-speaking countries. The work of the members of CORPUS, who are lecturers-researchers and literary doctoral students, civilisationists and linguists, is structured around three axes: "Revisited spaces" (Axis 1), "Images and identities" (Axis 2), and "Transmissions and mutations" (Axis 3).

CORPUS organizes three research seminars, one in British civilization, “In Search of Great Britain”, and two in literature, “Seeds of Literature” and “Politics of the Imagination”.
