Fay Wanrug Suwanwattana
Fay Wanrug Suwanwattana is a PhD student in Modern French at Merton College, University of Oxford. Her thesis is entitled 'Decadent Indochina and French Colonial Literature from 1880s to 1920s' which she is undertaking under the supervision of Prof Jennifer Yee. Looking into an interplay between Decadence and the French empire, her research focuses on fin-de-siècle colonial literature on Indochina and aims to examine the transnational aspect of literary Decadence, in its intersection with colonialism. This reading of Decadence reveals a political dimension inherent to decadent aesthetics, particularly when it is transposed outside the metropolitan France into the colonial geography. Decadent aesthetics in fin-de-siècle colonial literature about Indochina, as it at once abets and destabilizes colonialist discourse, invites us to rethink the complex and oblique relationship between colonial literature and colonialism. Alongside her research in French studies, she also published on contemporary Thai literature and has participated in international conferences on Asian and Thai studies.
