Matthieu Dupas is an Associate Professor in the Department of French and Italian at Northwestern University, where he also serves as the Director of Graduate Studies in French. He obtained his Agrégation in Classics and completed his PhD in French Literature from Université de Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle in 2015. Dupas' teaching and research focus on gender and sexuality in early modern and contemporary French literature. His monograph, 'La Galanterie comme mode de vie: Amour, civilité et mariage dans Mélite ou les Fausses lettres de Pierre Corneille', published by Classiques Garnier in 2023, addresses the gallant modes of social relations cultivated among elite members of French society during the absolute monarchy. This work explores how gallant rituals transformed traditional notions of courtship and gender dynamics, reflecting a significant change in relational modalities and the conceptualization of sexuality as described by Foucault. Dupas' ongoing research includes a book project tentatively titled 'Love', investigating the impact of Neo-Classicism on the discourse surrounding gallantry and love.
