Hommage à Armand Salacrou
« J'appris à lire et à écrire dans la vieille école primaire de la Caserne des Douanes. Et c'est dans une vieille maison du Havre que, 80 ans plus tard, j'apprends à cesser d'écrire. J'étais plein d'espoir. Je suis rempli de souvenirs : l'espace d'une vie ». Armand Salacrou
Abbatial Authority and the Writing of History in the Middle Ages
This book argues that abbatial authority was fundamental to monastic historical writing in the period c.500-1500. Writing history was a collaborative enterprise integral to the life and identity of medieval monastic communities, but it was not an activity for which time and resources were set aside routinely. Each act of historiographical production constituted an extraordinary event, one for which singular provision had to be made, workers and materials assigned, time carved out from the monastic routine, and licence granted. This allocation of human and material resources was the responsibility and prerogative of the monastic superior. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of primary evidenc...

Le Territoire littéraire du Havre dans la première moitié du XXe siècle
Ce livre étudie les représentations du Havre par plusieurs écrivains du XXe siècle et dessine les contours d’un « territoire littéraire » havrais. Après avoir proposé des outils de lecture, empruntés notamment à la géocritique, qui permettent d’enrichir notre connaissance à la fois des œuvres et du Havre, considérés dans une dynamique nouvelle, il entre dans le détail des représentations de la ville à travers les œuvres de six auteurs, dans la genèse desquelles la ville a un rôle essentiel : Louis-Ferdinand Céline, pour lequel Le Havre est associé à la figure du grand-père paternel, Georges Limbour et Armand Salacrou, auteurs havrais, Jean Dubuffet, Michel Leiris, Jean-Paul Sartre enfin, qui a enraciné l’existentialisme au Havre. Des documents complètent le volume, dont la réédition d’un texte de Raymond Queneau paru dans une revue en 1954, Portrait littéraire du Havre.
Reading Typographically
Anxieties about the fate of reading in the digital age reveal how deeply our views of the moral and intellectual benefits of reading are tied to print. These views take root in a conception of reading as an immersive activity, exemplified by the experience of "losing oneself in a book." Against the backdrop of digital distraction and fragmentation, such immersion leads readers to become more focused, collected, and empathetic. How did we come to see the printed book as especially suited to deliver this experience? Print-based reading practices have historically included a wide range of modes, not least the disjointed scanning we associate today with electronic text. In the context of religio...
