Victoria Bridges Moussaron holds a doctorate from Yale University, the title of Agrégée de l’Université and is currently Associate Professor at the Université de Charles de Gaulle (Lille, France) where she teaches Translation Theory, Literary Translation and Poetry, and most recently a seminar on Derek Walcott which led to work on Walcott’s “Jean Rhys”/Jane Eyre, Maryse Condé’s La Migration des cœurs and Jamaica Kincaid’s My Brother from the perspective of (post)colonial testimony as narrative. Her research interests include literature and the law: questions of genre – testimony, letters, autobiography, cahiers; translation theory (especially Benjamin, Bhabha and Ricœur); and the politics of poetics (Derrida, Glissant, Levinas).
