Biography
Raphaël Baroni, born october 17th 1970, is a narratologist currently teaching French at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
After graduating at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), he has spent a year lecturing at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). Then, he returned in Switzerland (UNIL) to begin his PhD in the field of narrative theory. Between 1998 and 2002, he collaborated with sociologist Prof. André Petitat on a research financed by the Swiss National Science Fundation (SNF) consisting in analyzing fairy tales in an interactionist perspective. Later, he received a fellowship from the FNS to finish writing his PhD in Paris at the Research Center on Arts and Language (CRAL, EHESS-CNRS). His PhD, co-directed by Prof. André Petitat and Prof. Jean-Michel Adam, received the Prize of the Faculty in 2006 and was later published, with a foreword of Jean-Marie Schaeffer, in the collection “Poétique” directed by Gérard Genette. The book is dealing with poetics of the plot, mainly focusing on its dynamic aspects: narrative tension, suspense, curiosity and surprise. His work is inspired by rhetorical and functionalist narratology of Meir Sternberg, but also by reception theory, cognitivism, interactionism, and peircean semiotics. Between 2005 and 2008, Baroni collaborated with Prof. Françoise Revaz (University of Fribourg) on a research dealing with newspaper serialized narrations. On july 2008, he was hired by the School of French as a Foreign Language (EFLE) at the University of Lausanne, where he teaches french and is co-leading, with Prof. Thérèse Jeanneret, the Research Group of Language Biography (GReBL).
His last book, published in 2009, deals with the complex bonds between time and narrative, renewing Ricoeur’s propositions and opening new fields of investigation for pragmatic, ethic and alethic analysis of both factual and fictional narratives.
Raphaël Baroni is member of the advisory board of Les Cahiers de Narratologie[1], and he collaborates with Vox Poetica[2] and with the interdisciplinary journal A Contrario[3].
