Luc Fraisse is a professor at Strasbourg University, where he teaches 20^th century French literature. His research focuses on Proust’s work, to which he has consecrated works such as Le Processus de la création chez Marcel Proust (Corti, 1988), L’Œuvre cathédrale: Proust et l’architecture médiévale (Corti, 1990), La Petite Musique du style. Proust et ses sources littéraires (Classiques Garnier, 2011), L’Éclectisme philosophique de Marcel Proust (PUPS, 2013) and Proust et la stratégie militaire (Hermann, 2018). For Classiques Garnier, he has published a new edition of À la recherche du temps perdu (La Prisonnière in 2013 and La Fugitive in 2017) and directs the “Bibliothèque proustienne” collection and the Revue d’études proustiennes.

On a theoretical level, his interest in the manifestations of self-reflexivity in literature and art stands out, as he has proposed the concept of autoréflexivité interne, that would take place in those moments in which the creator symbolically introduces the process of his/her literary creation.
