Prof.
Vinay Swamy is interested in Francophone, post colonial, and
cultural studies as well as queer theory. More specifically, he works
on literature and films which explore questions surrounding the construction
of identities (national/political/cultural/ group/individual…)
and is especially interested in the cultural production of the children
of immigrants in France and Britain.
Professor Swamy has presented papers on works by Azouz Begag, Marguerite
Duras, Maryse Condé and André Téchiné at
conferences in France, the US, UK and India. His publications include
"Should Paradise be Private? Cultural and Fictive Constructs of
National Identity in Two Novels by Azouz Begag" in E. Ruhe (ed.).
Die Kinder der Immigration. Würzburg: Königshausen
& Neumann, 1999. and "Traversing the Atlantic: from Brontë
to Condé" forthcoming in a special issue of Journal of
Carribbean Studies edited by Pascale DeSouza and Adlai Murdoch.
