  Printing and misprinting: Typographical mistakes and publishers’ corrections (1450-1600)

  This one-day symposium – opening with a keynote lecture by Anthony Grafton (Princeton) – aims to explore the notions of typos and manuscript or stop-press emendations in early modern print shops. Building on Grafton’s seminal work, scholars are invited to present new evidence on what we can learn from misprints in relation to publishers’ practices, printing and pre-publication procedures, and editorial strategies between 1450 and 1600.

  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.
