Autorenporträt

Siobhan Brownlie is Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester, UK. With a background in Translation Studies, currently her main research interests lie in the fields of Intercultural Studies and Memory Studies. She has published three monographs of which the most recent is titled Discourses of Memory and Refugees: Exploring Facets (2020). Siobhan is also a creative artist and has recently written a play titled British Women Seeking Asylum. Rédouane Abouddahab is Professor of American Literature at Le Mans Université, France. His research, which draws on psychoanalysis, philosophy, poetics and anthropology mainly, is centred on the notions of identity and otherness (in the sociocultural, psychic and ontological senses) in modern and contemporary American literature and the way in which poetic writing brings the experience of limits into play. He has published numerous books and articles on these matters, both in French and in English.
