Jérémy Potier

Jérémy Potier is a PRAG (full-time academic lecturer) at the Department of English-Speaking World Studies within Lumière Lyon 2 University, where he has been teaching since 2022. He is affiliated with the Center for Anglophone Studies (CAS), a research unit focusing on English-speaking literatures and cultures.

• Doctorate (2022): Suburbs of America: Poetics of a Commonplace, Toulouse-Jean Jaurès University
• External English Aggregation (2015)

His research centers on 20th-century North American literature, particularly the representation of suburban spaces in fiction. He explores how authors like John Cheever, Jeffrey Eugenides, and Jonathan Franzen use stylistic techniques to depict the commonplace, memory, and urban environments. His work intersects literary theory, narratology, and spatial studies, with a strong focus on narrative voice, collective memory, and the poetics of everyday life.

His recent publications and conference presentations reflect a consistent thematic trajectory: the suburb as a literary and cultural construct, the fragmentation of narrative perspective, and the aesthetics of memory. His interviews with major authors enrich his scholarly profile, bridging critical analysis with authorial insight.

He has been actively involved in academic service, including organizing research events and representing doctoral students. While no formal awards are listed, his scholarly output demonstrates significant engagement with contemporary debates in American literature.

Potier advises no students listed in the public record and is not noted to lead a lab or research team, though he collaborates within the CAS research unit. His career reflects a trajectory from doctoral research to stable academic employment, with ongoing contributions to literary scholarship.
