Eric Savoy is Professor Emeritus at the Département de littératures et de langues du monde, Université de Montréal. His research and teaching explore the poetics and intersections of literary theory, cinema, psychoanalysis, and the visual arts, with an interdisciplinary focus on the relationships between theoretical discourse, literary and artistic expression. His work takes close ‘micro’ reading as a point of departure for broader dialogues on narrative and cultural practices. Drawing on interdisciplinary and deconstructive methodologies, his work explores literary processes and cultural practices, alongside experimental writing, archives, film, painting and architecture. His research interests also include gender studies and the poetics of literary translation.

He has published widely on literary and artistic intersections in academic journals and contributed to a number of edited collections.
