Magali Molinie is an Adjunct Associate Professor of French in the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell University. She is a member of the International Research Network 'Word Gender Translation' and is engaged in the French Studies Program at Cornell. With a PhD in Psychology from the University of Paris VIII, her academic work draws upon a wide range of influences from notable scholars like Tobie Nathan, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour. Her groundbreaking book, 'Soigner les morts pour guérir les vivants', offers new perspectives on the relationships between the living and the dead, focusing on the social constructs shaped by rituals, practices, and attachments to those who have passed away. She has expanded her research to include the voices of people who perceive unshared realities, challenging biomedical interpretations of these experiences through the lenses of Mad Studies and Survivor Research. Molinie’s interests also encompass 19th and 20th century French literature, particularly the works of Balzac, Flaubert, Maupassant, and Zola, which reflect societal conflicts and resistances. Her current projects include a forthcoming book exploring cultural interpretations of hearing voices, informed by both literary and empirical inquiries.
