Research
Eve is interested in 20th century French thought and intellectual history, and in particular in the heterodox thinking of Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Sarah Kofman. In fact, her thesis project investigates the collaborations of this 鈥榞roup of four鈥�, focussing especially on the book series they published together at Galil茅e, namely 鈥楲a Philosophie, en effet鈥�. By extension, her project raises questions about collectives and intellectual community. She is also interested is 20th century queer and feminist thought.
