Biography
Edwige Crucifix is a scholar of Modern and Contemporary Francophone literature, specializing in gender studies and postcolonial theory. Her current book project explores mechanisms of identity construction in colonial society in the works of French and North African women. Her research and teaching stems from an interdisciplinary interest in modes of cultural resistance, explored in previous publications dedicated to modernist aesthetics, nineteenth-century bourgeois taste, and inter-war Jewish identity.
