  Boris Vian: an Artist “Outside the Norm”?

  In celebrating Boris Vian’s centennial in the birthplace of jazz, our conference wishes to pay a tribute to the author and his work by bringing him to the place that so powerfully struck his imagination. Vian’s Centennial is also an opportune moment to cast a new light on a multifaceted artist, in continuation of the meeting organized by Marc Lapprand (March 2020) whose project is to re-examine a body of work that has remained only marginally investigated. By focusing precisely on the notions of artistic freedom, irreverence, unconventionality and spontaneity, this conference aims to provide new directions in our interpretations of Vian. Given that playfulness and the rejection of the norm take on such an important part in Vian’s work, it comes as twist of irony that he trained as an engineer and became first employed by the Association Française de Normalisation (French Standardization Association).
