Ana Oancea is an Assistant Professor of French at the University of Delaware, affiliated with the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures within the College of Arts & Sciences. She holds a PhD from Columbia University and a BA from the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on 19th-century French literature, particularly intersections between science and literature, adaptation studies, and visual narratives across media formats including film, graphic novels, and video games.
Her first monograph, *Dangerous Creations: The Inventor Novel in Fin-de-siècle France* (U Toronto Press, 2025), examines how late 19th-century French popular literature framed scientific progress through inventor figures. Courses taught include French science fiction, visual narratives, and film studies. Oancea’s work traces transmedia legacies of classic texts into contemporary media, emphasizing cross-disciplinary dialogue between humanities and STEAM fields.
Recent publications analyze adaptations of Flaubert’s *Salammbô*, gendered androids in *Ex Machina*, and Zola’s engagement with vivisection ethics. She regularly publishes in journals like *Science Fiction Film and Television* and *French Screen Studies*, offering innovative frameworks for understanding science’s cultural narratives.
