Ann Smock

Associate Professor of French

Professor Smock's teaching and research interests focus on France during World War II, the Algerian War, 20th-century writing by women, and relations between literature and music. She is currently working on two projects: a work on Jacques Roubaud, poet, expert on troubadour poetry, mathematician, translator, and author of an expanding quasi-autobiographical work numbering four volumes to date; and a collaborative work centering on the little-known poet Danielle Collobert. Her recent publications include "Tongue-tied: Blanchot, des Forets, Melville" in MLN 114 (1999); "Don Giovanni or the Art of Disappointing One's Admirers" in Enigmas: Essays on Sarah Kofman; and "Patchwork Beckett" in L'Esprit Créateur (spring 2000).
