Sébastien Côté

Before joining the Department of French at Carleton University (Ottawa) in 2006, I studied French literature and German at Université Laval and Universtät des Saarlandes (Saarbrücken, Germany), and Comparative Literature at Université de Montréal, where I defended a dissertation entitled Discours ethnologique et dissidence chez Carl Einstein et Michel Leiris: autour de la revue DOCUMENTS. Since my arrival at Carleton, my research on Michel Leiris and the ethnographic discourse in 20th century French literature has gradually shifted to the written heritage of New France, or what I call le patrimoine lettré de la Nouvelle-France. In 2010, I have edited Paul Lejeune's 1632 Brève relation du voyage de la Nouvelle-France, and with Charles Doutrelepont, Relire le patrimoine lettré de l'Amérique française (Laval University Press, 2013). Among many projects, I am currently editing Les Lettres canadiennes (1700-1725), an anonymous manuscript. My homepage: http://carleton.ca/french/people/sebastien-cote/
