Debarati Sanyal Assistant Professor of French Professor Sanyal's teaching and research interests include the relationship between literary form, violence, and politics in 19th-century France, and the connection between performance, performativity, and ethics in modernist texts (primarily poetry). She is also interested in Holocaust studies and post-war conceptions of engagement in French and Francophone fiction. Her current research project investigates poetry, performance, and violence in Baudelaire and Mallarmé. Her publications include "The Object of Poetry: Commodity and Critique in Baudelaire" in Confrontations: Aesthetics and Politics in Nineteenth-Century France; "Broken Engagements: Sartre, Camus, and the Questions of Commitment," in Yale French Studies (spring 2000); and "The Commerce of Terror in Baudelaire's 'La Corde'" in Yale French Studies (forthcoming). |
