Fatiha Idmhand
I am currently a Professor at the University of Poitiers and a Researcher at the Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes (Archivos, UMR-8132, Paris).
My academic background is in Literature and Hispanic Studies (Spanish and Spanish American Studies), with a particular focus on creative processes (genetic criticism studies) and Digital Humanities.
My scientific research centers on archives and manuscripts in relation to the significant themes of cultural transfers, the circulation of literature, arts, and ideas between Europe and the Americas during the major conflicts and crises of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Currently, I am working on cultural mediators, on new typologies for manuscripts, and on methods for literary computing.
