PhD student in 19th-century American literature, animal studies and queer theory at Université Paris Cité.
Emma Thiébaut is a PhD student at Université Paris Cité, working under the supervision of Prof. Cécile Roudeau. Her dissertation, provisionally entitled “American Felipoetics : Reading Beyond the Human in the Writings of S.O. Jewett, M.E. Wilkins Freeman, K. Chopin and S.S. Far,” investigates the varied ways pets intervene in the private and personal writings of fin-de-siècle women writers. In the process, she uncovers secret felipoetics, affective and political alliances between queers and animals, and much more.
