RESEARCH FIELDS: Digital humani-es, archival studies, cultural history, material studies,
intellectual history, literature.

WORK LOCATION:
LERMA (Laboratoire d’études et de recherche sur le monde anglophone)
Aix-Marseille Université, Faculté des Arts, LeIres, Langues et Sciences Humaines
Maison de la Recherche
23, Avenue Robert Schuman
13100 Aix-en-Provence— France
The Postdoc will work at the Maison de la recherche, on the Schuman campus of Aix-Marseille
university, situated in Aix-en-Provence.

CONTRACT:
2 years
Full--me, 35 hours a week
Envisaged star-ng date: 01 September 2025
Envisaged dura-on: 24 months

WHAT WE OFFER:
Because the postdoctoral posiXon is intended for an advanced researcher, the highest level of salary
will be offered:
Year 1: 2450 euros/ month (net salary)
Year 2: 2700 euros/ month (net salary)

1. THE PROJECT
The AMIDEX-funded Marc Chéne+er-Literature and US Studies in France-Archives and Biography (MCLEAF-
ARCHIBIO) project that you will be joining is based on Emeritus Professor Marc ChéneXer’s vast
archive bequeathed to the LERMA, excepXonal in terms of quanXty and scienXfic relevance: because
of his affiliaXon with many insXtuXonal structures (in France and abroad), of his years as a visiXng
professor in several US universiXes, and of his links and correspondences with over a hundred US
writers, ChéneXer’s archive is a precious resource casXng a light on his own trajectory but also on the
diffusion, the translaXon, the publicaXon and the study of contemporary US literature in France, from
the 1970s to the 2010s. Marc ChéneXer’s 2015 interview will give you a good idea of his professional
trajectory.
Because of ChéneXer’s posiXon at the crossroads of the academic, the publishing, and the translaXon
fields, his archive is a most interesXng source for a) researchers and students in literature but also in
translaXon studies, in the history and epistemology of an academic discipline or again in the history of
books and publishing; b) literary journalists and criXques; c) biographers interested in ChéneXer’s many correspondents. The challenge is therefore threefold:

1) digiXzing and valorizing, on a dedicated website, most of the archive to make it available to
researchers and students but also, more broadly, to a wider readership of connoisseurs of US literature.
In order to address the quesXon of such a mulXple audience, the challenge is to conceive an easilysearchable,
user-friendly site which will allow the visitor either to find a precise document or to launch
ambiXous searches implying cross-reference parameters, and which can also be used for pedagogical
objecXves.
2) analyzing this "grey literature" in order to write the intellectual biography of an academic who was
instrumental in the appariXon and development of contemporary, experimental US literature in France,
which implies: a) to study the professional archive as a "place of knowledge" (Jacob), as the material
inscripXon of the trajectory and the thought of a researcher, b) to reconstruct and analyze ChéneXer’s
trajectory within a period of intensified transatlanXc cultural transfers and development of academic
and literary networks; and c) to cast a light on the instrumental role played by ChéneXer in the birth
and development of French and European studies devoted to the literature of the United States: A true
builder and mediator, ChéneXer was instrumental in the structuraXon of this field in the academic, the
publishing, and the translaXon communiXes.
3) documenXng the project so as to reveal how an academic archive can be turned into a digital
intellectual biography.

2. THE TEAM
You will be working within the Laboratoire d’Études et de Recherche sur le Monde Anglophone (LERMA,
UR 853), and more precisely within the team “Histoire(s) et vies des liIératures” (HVL), whose
members work in a pluri- and interdisciplinary perspecXve (see presentaXon of the HVL team). At AMU,
Prof. Sophie Vallas and Dr. Maud Bougerol are in charge of the ChéneXer project. Giovanni Pietro Vitali
(Université de Versailles Saint QuenXn en Yvelines - Université Paris-Saclay) is also a member of the
Marc ChéneXer project.
The team will also include a technician who will be in charge of digiXzing the archive over a period of
one year.

3. YOUR SPECIFIC MISSIONS
You will be working at the intersecXon of US and literary studies, archival research, and advanced digital
methodologies.
1) Helping complete the ongoing process of sorXng and cataloguing the archive
2) Organizing the digiXzaXon with the technician
3) Developing a methodological approach using your experXse with every step of the data lifecycle:
acquisiXon, processing, management and analysis
4) ContribuXng to curaXng the archive with the team
5) Co-building the Omeka-S-based bio-bibliographical database, and collaboraXng with the web
designer to create a searchable website accessible to researchers, students and the public
6) Design and deliver scienXfic events including lectures, conferences, exhibits…
