About<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between the library and the wardrobe<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Rafael Hett, a researcher in literature and fashion and a French teacher, born in S\u00e3o Paulo and based in Montr\u00e9al since 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I studied Portuguese and French languages and literatures at the Federal University of Pelotas, graduating with honors, and gave my first talk on fashion in Balzac there in 2015. In S\u00e3o Paulo, I then completed a postgraduate specialization in fashion communication and production, and a master\u2019s at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo on Japanese fashion and aesthetics, with a thesis on the brand ANREALAGE. Studies in philosophy, and research in phenomenology at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, gave me tools to think about the body. Today, my work reads literature through clothing and the fashion system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have taught French and literature since 2016, at university, at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de S\u00e3o Paulo and online, and I give courses and lectures on fashion and literature, including a course on the sociology of fashion at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo. I also run the Cercle des imaginaires<\/a>, a monthly reading circle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
