Benedetta De Bonis works on the rewriting and translation of classics, as well as on the circulation of myths and texts related to Mongolia in the French-speaking world and, more generally, within a European context. She graduated from the University of Bologna with a thesis on the reception of Sophocles in Michèle Fabien’s theatre. She later earned her PhD (Doctorat d’Études Supérieures Européennes) at the same university, defending a dissertation entitled Métamorphoses de l’image des Tartares dans la littérature européenne du XX^e siècle, published by Peter Lang. At the University of Bologna, she also taught French language and European Francophone literatures as an Adjunct Professor. She furthered her studies at University College London and at the Mongolia Cluster of the University of Vienna. She has been a Visiting Researcher at Les Archives & Musée de la Littérature (Brussels), where she studied the Fonds Michèle Fabien and Fonds Henry Bauchau, at the Groupe Sociétés Religions Laïcités (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), and at the Cini Foundation (Venice). Having been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, she carried out the WISE project at the Théorie et Histoire des Arts et des Littératures de la Modernité research unit (Université Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle), with which she continues to collaborate as an associate member. The project examined the literary and artistic representation of the women who contributed to the rise of Genghis Khan’s empire in the West. In continuity with this research is the Young Researchers MSCA (NextGenerationEU) project that she is currently leading as PI and as a Junior Assistant Professor (RTD-A) in French literature at the University for Foreigners of Siena.
