Kim Andringa (co-primary investigator of the CanFac project) is a senior lecturer in Dutch studies at the Department of Germanic and Nordic Studies of Sorbonne University. A member of the REIGENN research unit, her research focuses on Franco-Dutch literary relations (reception studies, circulation of translations, the imaginary, etc.) as well as post-colonial Dutch-language literature, particularly that of the former Netherlands Antilles and Surinam. Following a doctoral thesis devoted mainly to travel literature, to geographical frontiers and to those of the mind (L'imaginaire des Pays-Bas dans la littérature française du 19e siècle), she currently continues her comparative exploration of perspectives and perceptions of foreignness. She focuses on the juxtapositions between French- and Dutch-language literatures, in particular through the study of the mechanisms underlying translation: cultural transfers, publishing policies, analysis of translation strategies and reception.
