MANON VIGNAUD

For my doctoral dissertation and because of my long-time interest in literature and literary theories and criticisms, I conduct an ethnographic fieldwork in several literary writing workshops and try to explore how the persons involved in these small groups organise the time and space of the workshops to bond by sharing more or less intimate concerns and by caring for one another through their writing, their reading and their interactions. Consistently with this work, I am also interested in reflecting on my own ethnographic approach in this specific context, both in terms of fieldwork and writing, and in exploring the possibilities for academic writing by finding inspirations in literature.
