Viviane Koua is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of World Languages, Literatures & Cultures at Auburn University, part of the College of Liberal Arts. She teaches a range of French language and literature courses, from elementary to graduate levels, including a graduate seminar on genres and movements in French and Francophone literatures.
Education:
- PhD, University of Limoges (France) & University of Cocody Abidjan (Ivory Coast)
Her research centers on French and Francophone literatures and cultures, particularly those of Sub-Saharan Africa. She investigates themes such as female mythological archetypes (e.g., Médée), the evolution of the griot in post-independence African literature, and the intersection of identity and expression in Beur and Maghrebi-French writing. Her work also extends to pedagogical innovations, including the integration of the internet in French language instruction.
The analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on intercultural literary analysis, postcolonial identity, and the reinterpretation of classical myths within African and diasporic contexts. Her scholarship bridges literary criticism, cultural studies, and language education, demonstrating a sustained engagement with both canonical and marginalized voices in the Francophone world.
