Professor Colin Davis - Professor of French and Comparative Literature (Emeritus)

I am Research Professor in French and Comparative Literature. My teaching includes FR3114 Ethics and Violence: Murder, Suicide and Genocide in Literature and Film, which examines the representation of murder and the Holocaust in twentieth-century French literature and film.

My research focuses mainly on connections between literature, film and philosophy, and I have particular interest in the modern French novel, ethics, ethical criticism, philosophical approaches to literature and film, hermeneutics, literary theory, cultural memory, trauma studies and Holocaust literature.
