Marie Kondrat

Marie Kondrat is an Assistant Professor in the French Department at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), Faculty of Arts, appointed with conditional pre-tenure status beginning August 1, 2023. Her appointment reflects her international academic profile developed through teaching and research in the United States, France, and Switzerland.

Her research focuses on theories of the image, the dynamic relationship between literary theory and cinema, and conceptual transfers between literary studies and other disciplines, particularly through translation. Her work spans 20th and 21st century literature across French, English, Italian, and Soviet linguistic traditions.

At UNIL, she leads the “History and Current Events of Criticism” module and is responsible for theoretical instruction in the new MA specialization program in Comparative Literature (CIEL—Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Literature). Her current research project, INVUES: image, literature, theory (2024–2027), has been awarded funding under the FPFS Monique de Meuron Program for young academics, underscoring her emerging leadership in interdisciplinary literary studies.

Her doctoral thesis, "Le Hors-champ: extensions de lieu," was recognized with two major awards:

• Latsis Prize (2022)
• Barbour Prize for Literary and Aesthetic Criticism
