Poésie Plateforme — Des féeries informatiques depuis la nuit des temps — Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard — Lecture — Slash Paris

Past: Thursday, June 13, 2013

This event in the Poetry Platform series brings together two rather different experiences in writing — one scientific and historical, the other literary. Still, each in its own way, they offer suggestive, sometimes surprising methods to understand, name, re-categorize and thus invent the real — with a light touch as well as some inventiveness and rigor. Anthropologist Clarisse Herrenschmidt and writer Emmanuelle Pireyre interpret and organize with much precision myths and mythologies, whether ancient or hyper-contemporary, sometimes making the real sound more fictional than our fictions. What is more, their respective efforts are characterized by the kind — and rare — concern for the inscription of our lives in conscious continuities, informed breaks, better perhaps than what we know.
