Humanities 401
Peter Vantine
Peter Vantine is a Ph.D. candidate in French at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he is completing his
dissertation on “La métatextualité et les figures
d’artistes dans les romans des Goncourt”. He is currently
an Adjunct Faculty at The University of St. Thomas and a Visiting
Instructor at Macalester College. His talk will compare a novel
co-authored by brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt to several
other contemporary literary representations of the press and of
journalism’s relationship to politics, power, a growing readership
and an increasingly commercialized literary marketplace.
