Corradi Federico

Corradi Federico is a Full Professor of French Literature (FRAN-01/A) at the University of Naples L'Orientale. He previously held positions as Associate Professor at the same university (2015-2024) and at Guglielmo Marconi University. His academic trajectory includes a PhD in French Studies from Sapienza University of Rome (2007) and postdoctoral research at Sorbonne Nouvelle (2009-2010).

His research focuses on three primary domains:

• 17th-century French literature, specializing in La Fontaine's work and the European fable tradition
• Historical writing and morality in authors like Saint-Réal and La Bruyère
• Contemporary French fiction, particularly historical novels and classical revivals

Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate consistent engagement with French literary canon formation, spatial narratives in early modern texts, and psychoanalytic approaches to Baroque literature. Articles frequently examine cross-cultural receptions (French-Italian) and theoretical frameworks like chronotope analysis.

He leads multiple research initiatives including:

• Departmental project 'Jeux d'auteurs' on novelistic structures (2024-present)
• AUF-funded 'Les ports de la Méditerranée' (2020-present)
• PRIN collaboration on Shakespeare's Italian sources (2022)

As Vice-President of the Société des Amis de Jean de La Fontaine, he co-organizes international conferences and serves on editorial boards for Le Fablier and Annali. He coordinates doctoral programs and teaches graduate courses in French literature and criticism.
