Estelle Benazet Heugenhauser (1985) is a Franco-Austrian writer, researcher, and performer. In her texts, bodies are tested by ungovernable temporalities. Desire, hunger, expenditure, and violence generate action. Her work blends theory and fiction. It is published in books (Le Régime parfait, Rotolux Press, 2022; Bêcher son visage, 2020, Autre saison; 2021, éditions de la Chambre verte); in journals (A.O.C., La Déferlante, Trou Noir, Sabir, Sève, Jef Klak, Hoot); during performed readings (Point Ephémère, Centre Pompidou, Villa Médicis, les Subs, Centre Wallonie Bruxelles); and in lectures. Her doctoral research in theory and practice of literary creation is entitled Écrire avec les Affamæes, a way of (re)feeding in contemporary literature. It highlights the exercise of power around the act of eating, from preparation to consumption, at the intersection of certain political and micro-political theories. She is currently working on her second novel, Taurine, a project supported by the Villa Médicis in Rome.
