Martine Jacques is a Lecturer at the University of Burgundy, affiliated with the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy. She serves as Director of the Multidisciplinary Center for Texts and Cultures (CPTC), where she leads research initiatives in literary studies. Her academic work spans multiple disciplines within humanities, with particular focus on French literature, Enlightenment studies, and cultural history.
Dr. Jacques' research primarily explores the intersections of literature, history, and cultural studies. Her scholarly interests encompass utopian literature, particularly examining imaginary geographies and spatial representations in 18th century texts. She has conducted extensive research on Enlightenment-era writings, focusing on the works of figures like Madame de Genlis and L.-A. Caraccioli. Her work on theater studies investigates both historical Jesuit theater practices and contemporary performance, revealing connections between educational theory and dramatic arts. Additionally, she has made significant contributions to children's literature studies, analyzing how childhood and educational concepts are represented in literary works.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent engagement with literary theory and historical context. Her work demonstrates a trajectory from early studies on Enlightenment literature toward broader explorations of cultural representation across different media and historical periods. The publications show particular attention to how utopian thinking manifests in various literary forms, from travel narratives to children's stories. Her more recent work has increasingly focused on theater as both cultural practice and educational tool, suggesting evolving research interests that bridge historical scholarship with contemporary applications.
Martine Jacques maintains active scholarly collaborations, most notably with Hervé Bismuth, with whom she has co-edited several publications and organized research initiatives. As Director of CPTC, she oversees multiple research axes including 'New narratives in literary history' and 'Literature, minor arts, major arts.' Her leadership extends to organizing seminars and study days that bring together researchers from various institutions.
