Bertrand Westphal Biography

Bertrand Westphal is one of the most popular and richest University Teacher who was born on May 10, 1962 in Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. Bertrand Westphal (born May 10, 1962 in Strasbourg, France), is a French scholar and essayist.

Westphal is the founder of Geocriticism, a method of literary analysis and literary theory that incorporates the study of geographic space. After editing the first collective work on this topic (La Géocritique mode d’emploi), he published the essay La Géocritique. Réel, fiction, espace in 2007. In 2011, the book was translated into English (United States), under the title of Geocriticism: Real and Fictional Spaces by Robert Tally, who has become one of the main promoters of this literary approach in the United States. Geocriticism lays the foundations of the homonymous theory, i.e. an interdisciplinary method of literary analysis that focuses on spatial representations.

A third volume, La Cage des méridiens. La littérature et l’art contemporain face à la globalisation, published in March 2016, completes what appears to be a Geocriticism trilogy. This work examines the specific role of literature and contemporary art on a global scale and focuses on transcultural logics and decentering.

He was a visiting professor at Texas Tech University (2005) and at the University of North Carolina Charlotte (2013-2015).
