CROIRE

Thursday 16 October 2014 at 7 pm

For the past five years, the Poetry Platform cycle has been programming encounters and moments of exchange between research writers and practitioners coming from a broad range of disciplines: history, economics, sociology, anthropology, choreography, film…

This year, each of these sessions has as its point of departure and title a verb describing an action or state, in the infinitive.

For this first encounter, between Bernard Collin and Roger Lewinter, “Croire/To Believe” proposes a discussion involving outstanding writing projects, where words, punctuation and meaning are reiterated as objects of passion.

Bernard Collin is one of the major prose writers of contemporary French literature. Since the early 1960s, he has been writing 22 lines a day, assembling these fragments and articles in a succession of books marked by a sophisticated, weird and whimsical syntax. Aiming at compiling a perpetual calendar, for some years now Bernard Collin has been publishing his “days” as such.

Roger Lewinter’s dizzy oeuvre explores by way of reflection, scansion, suspense, verse, translation, presentation (mise en scène), and edition. Essentially, his books are published by Ivrea, formerly Champ Libre, with whom Roger Lewinter is literary adviser.
