Lauren Quigley

I am in the final year of my PhD studies, funded by DfE (NI). My project consists of an interdisciplinary study in French studies and architecture entitled 'Parisian Poiesis: Architecture and the Aesthetics of Contemporary French Poetry'. The thesis aims to uncover the relationship between aesthetics, architecture, and form in the poetic works of Jacques Réda, Jacques Roubaud and Michel Houellebecq.

On a broader scale, my research interests lie in the urban humanities, poetry (from nineteenth-century to contemporary works), the intersection of literature and architecture, the city of Paris, aesthetics, architectural history, urbanism, mobilites, and visual culture, specifically street art.
