Specializing in 20th century French literature, his research interests are, amongst others: representations of “post-history” in contemporary fiction; and punk as an aesthetic. Recent publications include an essay on contemporary philosophy: Cioran. Un héroïsme à rebours (Presses de l’Université de Montréal, 2006); a collective work (co-edited with François-Emmanuël Boucher and Janusz Przychodzen) on the aesthetics of peace: La Paix. Esthétiques d’une éthique (Peter Lang, 2007); and papers on French punk: « Enfants de la balle : politiques du football dans le rock alternatif européen » (in Yan Hamel, Geneviève Lafrance and Benoît Melançon (eds.), Des mots et des muscles ! Représentations des pratiques sportives », Nota Bene, 2004), and « Un imaginaire de l’animosité. Le groupe punk Métal Urbain (1976-1978) » (in Marie-Hélène Larochelle (ed.), Invectives et violences verbales dans le discours littéraire, Presses de l’Université Laval, 2007).
