Dr Dervila Cooke at the International Workshop on “Le Conte�

Dr Dervila Cooke recently attended the International Workshop on “Le Conte – Oral and Written Interfaces” held at Queen's University, Belfast. The workshop brought together researchers who work on the conte in different research contexts to identify and explore key issues around the oral/written interface.  Dr Cooke gave a paper entitled “A Curious Fairytale: Patrick Modiano's /Remise de peine / (1988)” on the use of fairytale in this work, which blends both personal memory and problematic French national memory (black-market "collaboration" with the Gestapo) in a childhood memoir.
