Marie Bouchet

Marie Bouchet is a Professor at the Center for Anglophone Studies (CAS), Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès (UT2J), where she has been a faculty member since 2006 and was promoted to full Professor in 2023. She holds a doctorate from the University of Bordeaux Montaigne and completed her HDR in 2023 on sensitive connections to things and nature in American literature and arts.

Her research focuses on American literature of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a deep specialization in Vladimir Nabokov. Her key interests include the poetics of the everyday, intermediality, synesthesia, material culture, and human-non-human relationships (especially involving insects, plants, and objects). She explores the intersections between literature and science, and the aesthetics of the trivial.

Her recent publications over the last five years reflect a sustained engagement with Nabokov’s sensory and material aesthetics, the cultural symbolism of domestic and urban spaces, and interdisciplinary approaches to literary texts. She frequently publishes on Lolita, Ada, and Nabokov’s lepidopterological interests, often bridging literary analysis with cognitive science and visual culture.
