Narrative, the Digital, and ‘Unidentified’ Media
It seems that narrative today is undergoing a radical change in its "source code". New technologies are changing the way texts are produced, distributed, viewed and read. The conference Poetics of the Algorithm intends to chart the implications of this shift. What does it mean that through digital technologies we can now experience on the surface of a single (touch) screen previously distinct media, artefacts and events such as literature in codex form, comic books, exhibitions, films, photographs, visual art and so on? Has medium-specificity become an obsolete notion given that binary code and algorithms seem to bypass material constraints?

Perpectives on the criticism of young peoples' literature
La revue des livres pour enfants, 50th anniversary
À l'heure où la littérature pour la jeunesse continue, plus que jamais, à être l'objet de discours et de propos qui l'instrumentalisent au gré des débats politiques et sociétaux, il ne semble pas inutile de reposer la question de la critique selon des approches croisées. Ce colloque sera l’occasion, dans une perspective internationale et notamment européenne, de retracer l’histoire de la critique de la littérature pour la jeunesse et de s’interroger sur la diversité de ses formes, de ses fonctions et de ses acteurs aux XXe et XXIe siècles. La Revue des livres pour enfants, qui lui fait la plus large place, témoigne de la pérennité et de la vitalité d’une discipline plus que jamais nécessaire.

Publishing differently - small publishers, independent journalists and bloggers in Russia
Petits éditeurs, journalistes indépendants et blogueurs en Russie
Depuis le début des années 2000, la question de la transformation de l'espace public est au cœur des réflexions sur les évolutions politiques et sociales en Russie. Dans un contexte marqué à la fois par un resserrement autoritaire du pouvoir et un élargissement des possibilités de publication (notamment en ligne), des tensions et des conflits permanents, parfois violents, traversent le monde médiatique russe.

The book trades and the challenge of the digital
Digital biennial
La Biennale du numérique est un évènement scientifique et professionnel qui veut questionner les problématiques émergentes portant sur l’impact du numérique, à la fois pour les professionnels du livre, les usages de la lecture, le devenir de l'édition numérique, les innovations en matière de production et de diffusion des contenus, ou encore les évolutions de l'accès à l'information. L’édition 2015 se propose d’analyser les transformations des métiers et des formes d'organisation du travail générées par l’arrivée du numérique dans l’univers des métiers liés au livre. Le postulat consiste donc à prendre le « numérique » comme facteur d’une profonde évolution de ces métiers.

The collection as production line for children’s books: the role of archives
Revue Strenæ
Introduced in the nineteenth century by publishers to create customer loyalty in target audiences, the series brings together a number of books under one formal system designed to be easily identifiable. In its first function as a paratextual structure, the series helps to describe the text (and/or the image), to guide its interpretation and influence its critical reception. Over the years the series has become a longstanding fixture in the world of publishing and in cultural life. Thanks to the series, publishers have continued to expand their reach and their role in the creative process, either by commissioning productions, or reshaping a book while it is being developed, or by rearranging or adapting works by authors and/or illustrators that have been published elsewhere.

San-Antonio international: representations, circulation, translations, exchanges
The subject of this two-day conference is the exchange processes between French and International cultures at play in and around the work of Crime Fiction author Frédéric Dard. Having started his literary career in 1938 and published more than 250 books until his death in 2000, the author is not only one of the most prolific and successful in the history of European literature, he is a very public figure too, having enjoyed intense media and critical attention in the last decades of his career. Identified mainly with the almost 200 San-Antonio novels he wrote between 1949 and 2000, the most popular and longest series of Crime novels written by a single French author, his image has been distorted by the bulk, preponderance and largely domestic nature of San-Antonio’s success.
