Martin Mégevand
From 1990 to 1994, Martin Mégevand worked at the Delegation for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Sri Lanka, Iraq, and Geneva. This experience inspired him to include in one of his researches the link between violence in history and literature with a focus on French and Francophone Literature of the second half of the twentieth century. His interest for India originates in this approach, as a birthplace of postcolonial studies and also as a locus of the extreme violence experienced during partition. Since 2001 he has been working at Paris 8 University as Lecturer at the department of French and Francophone Literature.
