معرفی
Carline Encarnación is a Lecturer in American Literature at the University of Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, where she conducts research within the Center for Anglophone Studies (CAS). She specializes in African American literature of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a focus on writers Toni Morrison and Zora Neale Hurston. Her research explores themes such as orality, folklore, women’s and marginalized knowledge, and literary adaptation.
Her educational background includes a Doctorate from the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée (2017), where her thesis examined epistemic subversions in the works of Hurston and Morrison. Prior to her current position, she served as a PRAG at Sorbonne Nouvelle University Paris 3 (2018–2019).
Her research interests center on the intersections of literature, anthropology, and cultural studies. She investigates how oral traditions, folklore, and marginalized epistemologies shape literary expression, particularly in African American women’s writing. Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, especially the blending of ethnographic and literary methods. She has also explored Morrison’s engagement with children’s literature and the use of fables as tools for moral and cultural reinterpretation.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on Toni Morrison’s Caribbean narratives, Zora Neale Hurston’s ethnographic-literary synthesis, and the reevaluation of marginalized voices in American literature. These works reveal a thematic trajectory toward understanding how storytelling functions as a mode of resistance, identity formation, and epistemic validation.
She is a member of the editorial board of Quaderna since 2018, contributing to scholarly discourse in Anglophone studies. Her academic service includes reviewing and curating special issues on African American literary authority.
