<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Gotham Light";color:black">Laurent Dubreuil’s research focuses on literature as an expression of thought that both defies the boundaries of rationality and responds to the disciplines of knowledge.
He has published numerous articles in journals or collections, and he has edited several special issues of Labyrinthe on topics ranging from the end of the world to comics criticism. He is the author of four books. Dubreuil is currently the editor of
<i><a href="http://romancestudies.cornell.edu/diacritics/">Diacritics</a></i>, the founder and general editor of
<i>sans papier</i>—the first collection of electronic pre-prints in the field of French studies—and the editor-at-large of
<i><a href="http://labyrinthe.revues.org/">Labyrinthe</a></i>, an interdisciplinary journal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
