Les Rencontres de la Bibliothèque: a cultural rendez-vous
The Institut d'études avancées de Nantes and the Maison des sciences de l'Homme - Ange Guépin are offering a cultural event: a series of meetings at the Julien Gracq library called : Les Rencontres de la bibliothèque. These meetings generally take place at 6pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays. They are announced in the agenda.
The ambition is to offer such a series of meetings each year with former fellows of the Institute and MSH researchers, on the occasion of the recent publication of a book, to enable them to share their writings with a public curious about the production of knowledge at the crossroads of disciplines, geographical horizons and forms of knowledge dissemination.
