French Program/ Dr. Priya Wadhera



Just to inform you about Priya's  article  that was published today in the peer-reviewed journal Contemporary French and Francophone Studies. You will find the abstract in the link below:

Her article, "Manger chez Perec: Food on the Threshold between Metaphor and Matter in W ou le souvenir d'enfance,” concerns the lack of food and memories in this important book by Perec, published in 1975.  This article informs a chapter in my second book project, tentatively called The Anti-Madeleine: the Denial of Taste in Post-War French Literature.  My book focuses on the myriad ways in which Proust’s famous madeleine episode has been re-written in the century since the first volume of his masterwork was published, focusing on the post-war period in particular. The paper she will give in the spring originates in this project as well.

Happy Holidays, ⛄❄
