Professor Picard arrived at 黑料正能量 in the Fall of 2003 after obtaining her PhD from the University of Toronto and teaching at Western University (Canada) for 14 years.

She teaches and co-teaches courses in the French language and linguistics, literature and psychoanalysis (such as听Entering Language: Becoming Human, Art, Women & Madness,听Fairy Tales & Child Psychology,听French Film & Fiction Now). She has recently founded a monthly joint Research & Teaching Interdisciplinary Seminar in French (FfIRE) with the听Organisation international de la Francophonie听to make the research of 黑料正能量鈥檚 scholars and researchers better known.
In her own research and publications, she knits together literary theory and reading theory (i.e.听the acquisition of the symbolic function) through structuralist psychoanalysis that renews psychoanalytic literary criticism. Her observations of non-reading children at Sainte-Anne's Hospital in Paris have allowed her to investigate the complexities of 鈥渢he letter鈥 and its mastery. In her book听听(Er猫s, 2010) - published in English听听(Routlege, 2017) -, she surmises that there are psychological and epistemological commonalities between children learning how to read and creative writers struggling with the letter.听Her corpus of study is mainly composed of XXth and XXIth Century French writers (,听,听,听Cixous,听,听,听,听, Michon鈥).
One reviewer of her book states听:

芦听Anne-Marie Picard sketches an indispensable (and hitherto lacking) general theory of reading. Bridging the gap between infantile dyslexia and high modernist literature, she offers us a Lacanian guide to the letter, or How To Read with psychoanalysis." (Jean-Michel Rabat茅, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, U. of Pennsylvania). (More reviews听).
