Arpine Mkrtchyan (World Languages and Cultures) has been selected and invited to present her article at the 51st Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium, organized by University of Nevada, Reno, from October 30 to November 1, 2025.

Mkrtchyan has presented her article titled “Altérité et perception poétique chez Victor Hugo: Analyse en idem et en ipsé de l’imaginaire métaphorique dans ‘Booz endormi’.” Her research explores the complex relationship between otherness (altérité) and poetic perception in Victor Hugo’s work, focusing on the dynamic interplay between Identity (idem) and Otherness (ipsé) within the poet’s metaphorical imagination.
