As a scholar of French who taps into the Caribbean cultural archipelago he was raised in, Daniel Desormeaux works as a comparatist primarily on French and Francophone literatures and cultures of the long nineteenth century. His versatile research agenda addresses a range of global issues and texts, in particular the historical and anthropological link between French and Caribbean literature and culture after the Haitian Revolution.<\/p>\r\n
Professor Desormeaux\u2019s first book, La Figure du bibliomane: histoire du livre et strat\u00e9gie litt\u00e9raire au XIXe si\u00e8cle<\/em> (Nizet, 2001) dealt with the history of rare-book collection in the nineteenth century. Collecting was not only a legitimate intellectual occupation but also the front line of defense in the battle against the cultural amnesia provoked by the French Revolution of 1789. The book analyses the rise of bibliomania as a well-accepted tradition within cultural institutions from the early 19th<\/sup> century to the beginning of the twentieth. A second monograph, Alexandre Dumas, fabrique d\u2019immortalit\u00e9 <\/em>(Classiques Garnier 2014), examines the many ways Dumas both embraces and displaces the borders of archival discourse, the popular novel, collections, history, and memoirs. It explores the literary and artistic strategies that Dumas used in his infinite quest for eternal recognition and success as a writer.<\/p>\r\nProfessor Desormeaux has played a key role in disseminating crucial historical and literary documents in Haitian thought and letters. His critical edition of the M\u00e9moires du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Toussaint Louverture<\/em> (Classiques Garnier, 2011), should be understood as a secret bibliophilic effort to exhume long-lost documents from the colonial archives and to bring into view the global implications of 19th-century Haitian political thought and its contrasting legacies.<\/p>\r\nMore broadly, Daniel Desormeaux is interested in transatlantic history of ideas, comparative analysis of history and literature, the development of new Francophone cultural institutions in the 19th century, eyewitness accounts of the Haitian Revolution, slavery in Haiti, literature and spirituality (voodoo). Currently, he is completing a collection of essays on contemporary French Caribbean novelists, as well as a book-length essay on Haitian history.<\/strong><\/p>"],"ecpt_teaching":["Undergraduate:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\nAlexandre Dumas\u2019s The Count of Monte Cristo<\/em> and its Avatars<\/p>\r\nIntroduction to French Literature II<\/p>\r\n
