Prior registration is required 2 days in advance


At a time when the Sixth mass extinction of many species but also the terrible impoverishment of ecosystems are being confirmed, Anne Simon will present a field of research on which she has been working for more than twenty five years and which is now expanding rapidly: zoopoetics, literary studies on animality and the living world, based on interdisciplinarity.

 


Anne Simon, a distinguished expert in literature and philosophy, serves as a research director at the CNRS within the Republic of Knowledge at the École Normale Supérieure-PSL. She leads the PhilOfr team – International Center for the Study of Contemporary French Philosophy, and oversees the Animots and Pôle Proust research and monitoring blogs. Since September 2023, she has been a professor affiliated with the Department of Literatures and Language, where she conducts or co-conducts the seminars “Narratives and Imaginaries of the Ark,” “Bestiary Workshop – Wolves and She-Wolves,” and “Critical News.” Additionally, Anne Simon has initiated the development of an ecological humanities axis within ENS-PSL.

Anne Simon’s research focuses on the intersection of knowledge, history, politics, and literature. Her work is centered around two main axes: the expression of the living through a zoopoetic approach, and the relationships between thought, the sensory, and literary creation. She has explored the aesthetics of superimposition in Proust’s work and its disruptive role among thinkers from the 1950s to 1980s, such as Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Deleuze, Barthes, Foucault, and Ricœur. In parallel, she has redefined the question of the living and animality in literature through a zoopoetic perspective that she has been developing for nearly 25 years. In this context, she co-organized in San Francisco the 20th and 21st Century French and Francophone International Colloquium on the theme of “human-animal.”
