CERILAC

The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies and Research for the French Literature, Art and Film Studies Department (CERILAC, research team 4410) was created in 2007 under Francis Marmande following the merger of five research teams. It was directed by Nathalie Piégay until 2015 and then by Jacqueline Nacache until June 2019. CERILAC is now under the responsibility of Dominique Rabaté (director), a professor of contemporary literature, and Frédérique Berthet (assistant director), an associate professor in film studies. The Center is also managed by a dedicated board and committee. The Head of Research, Audrey Coulomp, assists the team with tasks related to administration, financial management and research activities. Contact : cerilac4410@univ-paris-diderot.fr.
