Hélène Barthelmebs
Principal investigator
Hélène Barthelmebs is Associate Professor in French language and literature and their didactics at the University of Luxembourg. Her published and ongoing works focus on gender constructions and female writing in French-speaking literatures of the 20th century. They are based on the study of female writing strategies in European French-speaking worlds as well as in Algerian French-language literature and Quebec literature. A monograph on Écriture du genre et genre de l’écriture was published in 2018. She also co-directed the books Médias au féminin : de nouveaux formats (Orizons, 2015), Le discours rapporté. Temporalité, histoire, mémoire et patrimoine discursif (Classiques Garnier, 2018), and Criminelles (EPURE, 2018).
Laetitia Saintes
Project member
Laetitia Saintes studied pamphlet literature from the first half of the 19th century, as part of a thesis directed by Damien Zanone at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium) and defended in August 2019. She drew from it a monograph, Paroles pamphlétaires dans le premier XIXe siècle (1814-1848) (Honoré Champion, 2022). Now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg as part of the FNR FEATHER project, she is interested in the question of authority in the writings of women from the 20th to the 21st century, in the light of the metadiscourse deployed by them.
