Melanie Maillot
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Humanities
Faculty of Arts
Qualified language teacher and Ph.D. candidate in French Studies (comparative literature).
Currently working on Algerian and Egyptian Francophone poetry from the 20th Century in relation to French and German philosophy/literary theories.
I specialise in the complete poetic work of two French-speaking poets of the twentieth century, Andrée Chedid (Franco-Egyptian) and Jeanne Benguigui (Franco-Algerian).
I use French philosophy (Blanchot, Barthes) and German philosophy (Heidegger) as a basis for studying the development and exploitation of the concept of neutrality in poetry. I am supervised by Associate Professor Natalie Edwards and Dr Peter Poiana.
