An explosive world to decipher. How to describe the violence between social classes and individuals ? From the 21st century to 19th, from the suburbs of London to the Philippines, we will look at the present, go back in time past and explore the territorial issues that lead to revolts and revolution.

What does literature say about extreme experiences like grief and bipolarity ? These words would be trapped if we did not take into account the authenticity they imply in writing. Memory, the passage of time, palimpsest, the fragile boundary between fiction and autobiography : we will address the inner experience and its multifaceted translation.

What are the links between literature and politics in a world to be rebuilt ? What is the role of the imaginary ? How to resist barbarism in the age of technology ? Through literature ? From besieged Zagreb to post-Salazar Portugal, it will be a question of double culture, languages, melancholy and a cleverly grating humor. A conversation about of the experience of exile.

Louise Chennevière and Marcia Burnier
What is a woman’s body and how to live desire ? How do we weave solidarity between women to counter the violence that they suffer ? What is the place for a feminine subjectivity far from so-called feminine writing that is as fuzzy as it is categorizing ? So many questions and so many audacious, disturbing and free proposals. Feminists of all countries, wake up. With this joyful song on your lips : don’t liberate me, I’ll take care of it !

We will talk about the different ways of looking at a foreign country, avoiding as much as possible the exotic clichés. Reality can take on strange colors and the wonderful can seem almost natural. In this discussion, we would like to see Lebanon and Greece from a singular approach that does not find enough echo in the western media.

Pour cette neuvième édition de Lettres d’Europe et d’Ailleurs, nous avons choisi de faire entendre des voix étrangères inventives qui explorent le monde sensible aujourd’hui et entrecroisent la fiction, la nouvelle, l’essai, l’autobiographie et d’autres formes hybrides. Déplaçant les lignes du présent, n’hésitant pas à court-circuiter les clichés et attaquer les normes, voici une littérature qui n’est pas prête de s’essouffler !
Bienvenu.es sur la piste de Lettres d’Europe et d’Ailleurs 2021.
+Dialogue entre Guy Gunaratne et Annette Hug
Un monde explosif à décrypter. Comment décrire la violence entre les classes sociales et les individus ? Du 21è siècle au 19è, de la banlieue de Londres aux Philippines, il s'agira d'ausculter le présent, de remonter le temps et d'explorer les enjeux territoriaux qui conduisent à la révolte et aux révolutions.
