Michel De Dobbeleer

Michel De Dobbeleer (PhD East European Languages and Cultures) is a Slavist, Classicist and Italianist, who as a post-doctoral assistant currently examines the (re)presentation of East European literatures in 19th-century world literary histories (Ghent University, 2015-2018). Related to this, the availability and circulation in Western translations, anthologies … of East European literature are among his main research interests. With regard to literature in translation, he has published on pseudotranslations (‘between’ Russian and the West) and on Willem Elsschot’s Kaas (Cheese) in the Soviet Union. Other world literature-related research deals with, a.o., (translations of) literary histories, Western comics adaptations of Slavonic classics and the theme of the siege in ‘world epics’.
