Cloé Artaut is currently a PhD candidate in the History of Political Ideas at Sciences Po (CEVIPOF). She holds a Master’s in Political Theory from Sciences Po and a Master’s in Modern Literature from the Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle. Her research, at the intersection of intellectual history, philosophy and political science, engages with topic relating to identity, republicanism, political imaginaries and contemporary uses of the past. More precisely, her dissertation, under the supervision of Frédéric Gros and Vincent Martigny, explores the “myth” of the Third Republic in France from 1946 to the present day. Cloé is also interested in the link between literature and social science, and as worked on the concept of authenticity in the works of André Gide and Marcel Proust. A lecturer in political humanities at Sciences Po, she has served as a teaching assistant in a range of courses focused on pluralism, integration, and religion in modern societies. She has also published in the French journal Esprit. At Yale, she will deepen her investigation into the political and symbolic uses of the myth of the Third Republic in contemporary France, with particular attention to how historical narratives shape debates around identity, citizenship, and national memory.
