Ainan Liu is a Ph.D. candidate specializing in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French theater. His recent papers include “Imagining Inverted Worlds in Marivaux’s Experimental Theater” and “A Chinese Princess in Paris: Performing the Exotic to a Willing Audience”. His research interests lie in interdisciplinary approaches to French theater, in particular the application of social science concepts to literary analysis. His dissertation proposes an anthropological interpretation of early modern French tragedy, and is tentatively titled Barbaric Acts in French Classical Theater (ca. 1635-1755).
