About Salvador Lopez Rivera

I am presently a fifth-year graduate student in French literature at Washington University in St. Louis. My academic interests include contemporary French culture and literature, critical theory (affect theory, structuralist and poststructuralist approaches), and media studies. My dissertation explores the representation of post-industrial spaces in coming-of-age narratives in France, as well as the affects and politics associated with such representations.

Salvador Lopez Rivera is a PhD candidate in French language and literature at Washington University in St. Louis.
