In this fiction, a secretary of state is sequestered by the employees of a Breton slaughterhouse about to be placed in judicial liquidation.\u00a0 In March 2020, Verticales published L’Age de la premi\u00e8re passe<\/em>, a long documentary account of work done in the Congo with street girls, minors prostituting themselves to survive. Arno Bertina has also adapted Malcolm Lowry’s Sous le Volcan<\/em> and Les D\u00e9mons<\/em>, by Dostoyevsky (with Oliver Rohe) for France Culture. He was a resident at the Villa Medici (Rome) in 2004-2005. A critical volume appeared in the summer of 2018, published by Classiques-Garnier in the collection “Ecrivains francophones”. Arno Bertina is publishing Ceux qui trop supportent. Le combat des ex-GM&S (2017-2020) <\/em>(Verticales, 2021), about the struggle of the GM&S factory workers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n James No\u00ebl, poet<\/p><\/div>\n James No\u00ebl<\/strong> is a poet, born in Haiti in 1978. He lives in Veules-les-Roses. Among his latest published collections: Le Pyromane adolescent<\/em>, followed by Le Sang visible du vitrier<\/em> (Points, 2015); Anthologie de po\u00e9sie ha\u00eftienne contemporaine<\/em> (Points, 2015); La Migration des murs<\/em> (Galaade, 2016). He also hosts the magnificent journal IntranQu’\u00eellit\u00e9s. Adored by his prestigious elders, James No\u00ebl is today one of the major voices of contemporary Haitian poetry. With his harsh and sensitive pen, his poems oscillate between hymns to the flesh and punches, such as the incandescent Pyromane Adolescent<\/em> or Cheval de feu<\/em>. After an Anthology of Contemporary Haitian Poetry under his direction, his poetic pamphlet La Migration des murs<\/em> (The Migration of the Walls), which began in the rubble of the earthquake and ended at the Villa Medici, James No\u00ebl published his very first novel: Belle merveille <\/em>(Zulma, 2017). A novel in poetic prose, luminous, where memories of the earthquake also give way to the author’s lucid and ironic tone on international aid. James No\u00ebl writes in Creole with his left hand and in French with his right hand, not hesitating to call upon musicians to enrich his texts. He also created with Pascale Monnin, IntranQu’\u00eellit\u00e9s<\/em> , a literary and artistic review where “in a brilliant complicity, the images escort the texts without illustrating or commenting on them” as Mkenzie Orcel says.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sophie Wahnich, historian<\/p><\/div>\n Sophie Wahnich<\/strong> is director of research at the CNRS (IIAC\/EHESS), she works between history, anthropology and political studies on the French Revolution. She questions our present by listening to the advice, opinions and perplexities experienced by our revolutionary ancestors.

\n“And what do those who want neither virtue nor terror want?” asked Saint Just in the spring of the year 1794. And what do those who want neither programmed degrowth nor refugees, nor climatic or political migrants want, and terrorise those who protest in the very name of the democratic heritage of an awareness of a community of destiny for humanity and henceforth for all living things? (…) How can we cope? Can we cope? Between past and present, we will try to open up avenues of reflection for a subversive and perhaps restorative political proposal.” (Sophie Wahnich)<\/p>\n
