Una Chaudhuri is Collegiate Professor and Professor of English and Drama et NYU. A historian of science at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), she teaches at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and directs the SPEAP (Experimental Program in Political Arts), in residence at Nanterre-Amandiers since 2014. Fascinated by astronomy and microscopy, she has published Fictions of the Cosmos (Chicago UP, 2011), a study of the links between fiction and modern science. She has collaborated with Bruno Latour for ten years on theatrical ways to test new hypotheses, especially for questioning the irruption of a controversial new figure, Gaia, facing which we struggle to respond. As author and theatre director, Frédérique Aït-Touati explores the links between science, literature and politics and is particularly interested in the fictions of science.
