The French Section (Medieval French Studies track) of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Lausanne is announcing a doctoral position in the field of French literature of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries.

Co-supervised in collaboration with the Art History Section, the thesis also falls within the domain of art history, particularly focusing on the Netherlands in the 15th to 17th centuries.


Job information:

Start date:
September 1, 2024

Contract duration: 1 year, renewable once for 3 years

Workload: 100%

Location:
Lausanne-Dorigny

Your responsibilities:


According to Directive 1.31 of the University of Lausanne, the workload of an FNS doctoral student is dedicated to 85% for the completion of a doctoral thesis and 15% for research and teaching activities within the affiliated section.


As part of their thesis, the doctoral student will be responsible for specific research on literary and visual representations of disasters related to the disruption of the natural order, representations produced and disseminated from the 15th to the mid-17th century in Northwestern Europe, particularly in the region of the Netherlands.


The thesis aims to establish and study a corpus of contemporary texts and images from the Little Ice Age, shedding light on the notion of natural disaster and its use as a marker of the present time.

This corpus may include, among others, historical, scientific, theological texts, travel narratives, narrative fictions, theatrical and poetic works, as well as paintings, prints, drawings, and decorative objects.

A secondary objective is to develop an ecocritical approach (e.g., environmental humanities, disaster studies) to a corpus of ancient sources, in relation to the perceptions of the present time expressed by these sources.


Note:
The corpus of textual sources will primarily be in French.

It may eventually be enriched with comparisons with texts from the same period in at least one of the following languages:
Dutch, German, English.

International mobility may be required depending on the research needs.


The doctoral student will be affiliated with the Center for Medieval and Post-Medieval Studies at the Faculty of Arts of UNIL, providing a particularly conducive and stimulating working environment.
