Jeanne-Marie Carton-Charon serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English Studies at Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, specializing in Irish literary and cultural studies. Her academic profile reflects a dedicated scholar bridging French and Irish academic traditions through comparative analysis of contemporary Irish literature.
Academic Background and Affiliations
Carton-Charon completed her doctoral thesis titled "Borders and Displacements in the Novels of Jennifer Johnston" in 2005 under the supervision of André Topia at Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle. From 2005 to 2012, she contributed to research with the Caen Research Group focusing on Evolutions of Irish Society, Northern Ireland, and Representations of Ireland in Literature. She is affiliated with the Institute for Transtextual and Transcultural Studies (IETT), where her work examines cross-cultural reception of Irish women writers across France, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United States.
Research Focus
Her scholarly work demonstrates sustained commitment to multiple dimensions of Irish literary studies:
- Close analysis of Irish women writers, particularly Jennifer Johnston, Edna O'Brien, and Nuala O'Faolain
- Reception theory examining how Irish literature is interpreted across different national contexts
- Political dimensions of Irish cultural production, including non-violent resistance narratives
- Representations of Northern Ireland and Irish identity in contemporary fiction
- Intersections between literature, cultural memory, and national identity
Scholarly Contributions
Carton-Charon's most significant work is her 2018 monograph "Non-Violent Resistance: Irreverence and Counter-Discourse as Subversive Weapons in Irish Culture," which examines how Irish cultural production challenges dominant political narratives through literary means. Her publication history reveals consistent scholarly engagement with Irish literature spanning nearly two decades, with particular attention to the political dimensions of women's writing.
She has organized major academic events including the International Irish Literature Reception colloquium (2019) and "Artists in Exile: New Aesthetic Paradigms" (2022), demonstrating leadership in fostering international scholarly dialogue on Irish literary studies.
