At the SAMLA (Nov. 6 – 8, 2025), Insook Webber participated in a discussion panel on the theme of “Empowering Students: Teaching French and Francophone Women Writers and Filmmakers” and presented a paper on the French author Marie NDiaye (2003 Prix Goncourt – France’s most prestigious literary prize). Known for her decades long fictional exploration of transgenerational trauma linked to (post) colonialism, NDiaye’s latest work entitled Le bon Denis is analyzed through Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytical theory.
