Jérôme Game

On research leave in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, Professor Game was Writer in Residence at MAC/VAL (Musée d’Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne) in 2011 and is currently Visiting Scholar at NYU’s Department of French.

He has recently published Poetic Becomings. Studies in contemporary French literature and Le Récit aujourd’hui. Art et littérature. His essay, Sous influence. Ce que l’art contemporain fait à la littérature, will be out later this year. In January 2012 he will speak on film theory at Columbia University’s ‘Sites of Cinema’ research seminar, and in March he will deliver a public lecture at NYU’s Maison Française on curent experimental writing from France.   

In Spring 2012 Professor Game will teach a graduate course on Advanced Film Theory in the Film Studies Program at Columbia University.

Jérôme Game joined AUP in 2004. After receiving his Ph.D. in French literature and philosophy from Cambridge University in 2002 he was appointed Andrew W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Humanities at University College London, where he carried out research for two years. He teaches courses in Philosophy and Film Studies, notably ‘History of Modern Philosophy’, ‘Philosophy of Aesthetics’, ‘Modern Critical Theory’, ‘Cinema and Philosophy’, ‘Film and the Body’, ‘Asian Cinema’, and a range of higher level courses in these two disciplines.

His research interests focus on a theoretical and critical examination of modern culture (cinema, literature, visual arts) around a philosophical reworking of subjectivity and time. These concerns are addressed in numerous publications, often within an interdisciplinary context. He has published books and collective volumes on Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy and contemporary literature, text/image relations in 20th century French culture, filmic representations of the body, narrative theory, and the work of Jacques Rancière. His current projects include a study of the links between art and writing today and a collective volume on the concept of intensity in the arts.

Since 2004 Professor Game is Associate Researcher at the ‘Centre d'Etudes Poétiques’ (EA1633) of Ecole Normale Supérieure – Lettres & Sciences Humaines, and at the center ‘Recherches sur la Pluralité Esthétique’ (EA1575) of Université Paris 8 – Saint-Denis.
