Anne Reynes-Delobel is MCF HDR at Aix-Marseille University. Her research focuses on modernist and avant-garde American literature and visual arts. She is interested in the transatlantic circulation of texts, images, ideas and people, particularly through “little magazines” and mainstream and commercial magazines. This research has led her to examine some examples of the transantlantic circulation and transformation of surrealist and Dadaist images and texts in the inter-war period. It also provided an opportunity to work on a relatively unknown part of Claude Cahun’s photographic work. With Cécile Cottenet, she is also in charge of an interdisciplinary project based at at Aix-Marseille Université which will eventually lead to the creation of an online encyclopedic dictionary provisionally entitled “Passeurs de la littérature américaine en France.” Her current publication project also deals with transatlantic textual and visual circulations (including Cather and French symbolism; Cornell and Saint Exupéry, etc.). Her second book project deals with the link between speed (in this case slowness) and modernism in both the textual and visual fields.
