Lucas CANTINELLI is a Ph.D student at the LERMA (Laboratoire d’Etude et de Recherche du Monde Anglophone) at Aix-Marseille Université. He graduated from his Master’s degree in 2020 and passed the Agrégation in 2021. During his two years of Master’s degree he successively accomplished two Master theses on H.P Lovecraft and Toni Morrison.

His current research focuses on Maya Angelou’s and Toni Morrison’s non-fictional work, especially on silences in these works, their manifestations and ruptures.

In this episode, he will talk about a TV series entitled Lovecraft Country, based on Matt Ruff’s novel, published in 2016 and sharing its title with the show. Lucas will explain the difficulty to adapt Lovecraft’s work on screen, but also about the expansion of the Lovecraftian universe though screen adaptations. Finally, he will question the essence of monstrosity through the prism of the series and its characters.
