Vincent Broqua is Professor of North American Literature and Arts, Translation and Creative Writing at the Department of English and American Studies (DEPA) at Université de Paris 8. He serves as Director of the Anglophone Critical Transfer Research Unit and is a founding member of Double Change, a Franco-American poetry collective. Additionally, he is co-editor-in-chief of quaderna.org and co-responsible for the Poets and Critics conference series which has been running since 2010.
Broqua's research spans multiple interconnected areas within literary and artistic studies. His primary interests include 20th and 21st century poetry, performance art, minimalism, conceptualism, cinema, and other experimental arts. He has made significant contributions to translation studies, particularly in homophonic translation, and is known for pioneering work in creative criticism and creative writing as research-creation practices. His scholarship frequently explores intersections between literature, visual arts, and performance, with notable focus on figures like Gertrude Stein, Anne Waldman, and Josef Albers.
Analysis of Broqua's publications reveals consistent engagement with experimental literary forms and the theoretical frameworks that support them. His work demonstrates how translation functions as a creative practice rather than mere linguistic transfer, particularly through homophonic approaches that prioritize sound over semantic meaning. Broqua's research shows particular interest in how avant-garde practices challenge conventional boundaries between disciplines and media.
