Professor Benedicte Mauguiere's research lies primarily in the area of Francophone, post-colonial, diasporic and transnational studies. Her publications focus on the literature and aesthetics of Francophone cultural production of the Americas and the Indian Ocean islands (Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion). She particularly explores the complex tale of cultural development, colonization, displacement, marginalization, memory and the construction of identity in works of transnational and transcultural writers such as J.M.G. Le Clezio and Ananda Devi.
