Marielle Macé

Marielle Macé is a writer and specialist in French literature. She is a research director at the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research), a director of studies at the EHESS (French School of Economics and Social Sciences), and has been a visiting professor at Chicago, NYU, Tokyo, and Rio de Janeiro. Her research focuses particularly on contemporary forms of life, and engages with poetry.

Her books use literature as an ally in understanding communal life. They make ways of being and ways of making the very arena of our disputes and commitments. She is currently working on the solidarities between poetry and a broader posthuman anthropology. She has published Le Temps de l'essai. Histoire d'un genre en France au XXe siècle (Belin 2006), at Gallimard Façons de lire, manières d'être (2011) Styles (2016) and Critique de nos formes de vie (2016) and at Verdier editions, Sidérer, penser – Migrants en France (2017), Nos cabanes (2019) and Respire (2023).
