Philippe ROMANSKI
Associate Professor of English and American Literature
University of Rouen (France)
Office A 513
Salle virtuelle Big Blue Button
Philippe Romanski is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Rouen Normandy, France. His academic work lies at the intersection of English and American literature, literary theory, and cultural heritage. His research is particularly concerned with the ways in which texts produce, unsettle, and transform meaning. His interests include deconstruction, contemporary literature, literary and cultural theory, and the complex relationships between literature, language, memory, and heritage. His work on heritage also encompasses questions of cultural memory, heritage valuation, dark tourism, and the representation of heritage in film and other forms of cultural expression.
Alongside his research, he has devoted much of his career to teaching literature and language, from undergraduate studies to postgraduate and competitive-examination preparation. He is also committed to developing accessible digital resources that bring together teaching, research, texts, and other materials for students and fellow scholars. His publications include books, edited volumes, scholarly articles, translations, and contributions to academic reference works. Across these different activities, his approach remains grounded in a conviction that literature is not merely an object of study, but a powerful way of questioning how we read, remember, interpret, and inhabit the world.

La forme fascine quand on n’a plus la force de comprendre la force en son dedans.
C’est-à-dire de créer.
Jacques Derrida
Teachers of Literature are apt to think up such problems as “What is the author’s purpose?” or still worse “What is the guy trying to say?”
Vladimir Nabokov
