Abstract

Our research aims to identify the specific features of works of literature for young people that place the autobiographical narrative in a singular geography. The landscapes of childhood serve as anchor points for memories, enabling the subject to measure the distance travelled. Identity is constructed in this relationship with the fixed places of childhood, which are so many huts built over the course of a lifetime. From these places, a narrative of the self unfolds, a movement that is that of identity in the making. These works constitute a coherent body of autobiogeography.

Her research is rooted in reception theories, the ‘sujet lecteur’ (subjective reading) and sensory approaches to education. She works on the assimilation of literary works and culture by poor and non-readers, as well as on the contribution of creative writing to learning, particularly for struggling students. A longitudinal study of teenagers and reading was published by PUR in 2017 (Devenir lecteur, l'expérience de l'élève de lycée professionnel). Extensions of her research on teacher training and sensory approaches are regularly published.
