“Swallow that: Ogres and Monsters of the Mind”
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of French is delighted to invite you to the first of their Research Seminars which will be given by Jean-Philippe Imbert from the School of Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies, DCU, on Tuesday, December 2nd in D207 at 5pm.
The seminar entitled “Swallow that: Ogres and Monsters of the Mind” will first look at the role and nature of monsters in our civilisations. Then Jean-Philippe will assess how teratology, which is the study of perceived abnormalities in the natural world, both real and imagined, informs the field of Comparative Literature. Finally, he will look at /Blue Beard/, by Charles Perrault, and see why ogres lurk the back of our minds….
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Isabelle Lemée
