Lise Jankovic is a Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of Rouen Normandy, affiliated with the ERIAC research laboratory (UMR 4705). She holds a PhD from Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle (2014), specializing in 19th-20th century Spanish cultural history. Her work focuses on magic comedy, artistic networks, and cultural transfers, particularly examining how Spanish theatrical forms like prestidigitation intersect with historical and sociopolitical contexts.
Education:
- Doctorat en Études Hispaniques, Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle (2014)
- Agrégée d’Espagnol (2008)
- Former member of the Casa de Velázquez research institute
Research Interests: Her scholarship bridges cultural history and performance studies, analyzing how 'minor' cultural productions like magic comedy reflect broader societal shifts. She explores themes such as:
- Artistic rivalry and cultural competition (e.g., 19th-century Spanish vs. foreign prestidigitators)
- Historical representations of fear and identity (e.g., Moorish stereotypes in Spanish theatre)
- Interdisciplinary connections between magic, machinery, and scientific progress narratives
Recent Work Trends: Recent articles emphasize the socio-political dimensions of Spanish theatrical forms, including studies of 19th-century stage machinery, transnational artistic networks, and the cultural symbolism of magic in marginalized genres. Her 2024 work on prestidigitator rivalries exemplifies her focus on competitive artistic exchange.
Editorial Contributions: She serves on the editorial board of Iberic@l and contributed to the Jean Giraudoux Dictionary, demonstrating her engagement with broader scholarly communities.
Labs/Teams: Active member of ERIAC’s research teams, particularly in the 'Cultural Transfers' thematic axis. Collaborates with institutions like the Real Escuela de Arte Dramático in Madrid and the International Society for Intermedial Studies.
