Diane Sabatier

Doctor of English and Anglo-Saxon languages and literatures (section 11 of the National Council of Universities) and member of the VECT Research Centre, Diane Sabatier has been Assistant Professor (~ Senior Lecturer) in the Department of Applied Foreign Languages at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Perpignan Via Domitia (France) since 2009. She lectures on North American culture and civilization and gives tutorials on English translation.

Her research focuses on Ethnic American writings from the 1990s to the present day. Inspired by G. Anzaldúa, H. K. Bhabha, G. Deleuze, J. Derrida, E. Glissant, D. A. Hollinger, W. Sollors and, among others, G. C. Spivak, her study of literature tackles notions such as in-betweens, hybridity, identity-relations, interculturality and postethnicity.

She is currently developing the theoretical concept of “dissidentities”, elaborated in her Doctoral Dissertation entitled “Dissidentities: American short story writers’ double absence/double belonging (1992-2003)” defended at the University of Orléans (France) in 2007. Through the analysis of short stories and novels, Diane Sabatier continues her exploration of contemporary writers dissenting from the stereotyped representations of identities.
