Tracy McNulty is a Professor in the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell University, specializing in French Comparative Literature. She earned her BA in French and English from the University of California, Berkeley, and her PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Irvine. McNulty's research interests encompass 20th-century French literature, comparative modernism, and psychoanalytic theory, particularly the works of Freud and Lacan. She regularly teaches interdisciplinary courses that explore themes such as the origins of language, myths, and symbolic thought, as well as eroticism and perversion. Her notable publications include 'Hostess: Hospitality, Femininity, Expropriation Identity' and 'Wrestling Angel: Experiments in Symbolic Life,' both of which engage with complex theories of subjectivity and agency through the lens of modern philosophical and psychoanalytic frameworks. Currently, McNulty is working on a new book titled 'Libertine Mathematics: Perversions of the Linguistic Turn' which juxtaposes key works from the libertine tradition with contemporary theoretical perspectives. Her work is characterized by a commitment to examining the intersections of literature, philosophy, and political theory within the realm of psychoanalysis, contributing significantly to contemporary discussions in these fields.
