  • Sep 24, 2018 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description:

    Le NYU Center for French Language and Cultures lance cette année sa nouvelle série sur l’écriture contemporaine en langue française, Machines à écrire. Chaque saison annuelle sera confiée à une personnalité saillante de la culture française qui invitera quatre écrivains à se rendre à la Maison Française de NYU afin de discuter autour d’un thème choisi. Ces entretiens se feront un lundi soir ; le lendemain les auteurs invités donneront des lectures publiques en ville, et leurs ouvrages seront intégrés au programme d’un cours à NYU. Grâce au goût de notre animateur, à la fécondité du thème qu’il aura choisi, à l’appréciation des auditeurs et de nos étudiants, et surtout au talent des auteurs, nous découvrirons ainsi au cours des années à venir ce qui fait résonner les machines à écrire de langue française.

  • What is a Space for Ethics? - Robert Harvey

  • Sep 20, 2018 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description:

    A roundtable on Sharing Common Ground (Bloomsbury, 2017)


    Sharing Common Ground makes a compelling contribution to an important emerging field that affects a broad swath of humanities. It uses historical, photographic, and literary examples, including an entirely new translation of a little known work by Marguerite Duras, presented here in full, to showcase the ethical capacity of art. Robert Harvey deploys critical tools borrowed from literature, aesthetics, and philosophy to mobilize the thought of several seminal figures in literature and theory including Michel Foucault, Marguerite Duras, Georges Didi-Huberman, and Giorgio Agamben, among a host of others.

Construction sites, concentration camps, cemeteries, slums-such are only a few of the spaces that impel our imagination naturally toward what we commonly call “cultural memory.” Sharing Common Ground reveals how the endeavor to think and imagine in common, and especially about the spaces we inhabit together, is critically importan

    Presented in partnership with the Columbia Maison Française

    It is summer, and Antoine (Cazalé) is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provence. His father is sick, so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed—driving the family grocery cart from hamlet to hamlet, delivering supplies to the few remaining inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire (Hesme), a friend from Paris whom he secretly has a crush on, Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but ultimately prove to be funny and endearing.

    Music Box Films is proud to announce the release of MEMOIR OF WAR, Emmanuel Finkiel's haunting adaptation of seminal author Marguerite Duras’s autobiographical novel “The War: A Memoir” starring Mélanie Thierry (The Princess of Montpensier) in a riveting performance as Duras. An emotionally complex story of love, loss, and perseverance against the backdrop of war, MEMOIR OF WAR is scheduled to open in New York on August 17 at Film Forum and The Film Society of Lincoln Center, followed by a national roll out.

    It’s 1944 and Duras is an active Resistance member along with her husband, the writer Robert Antelme and a band of fellow subversives in Nazi-occupied Paris. When Antelme is deported to Dachau by the Gestapo, she enters into a high-risk game of psychological cat and mouse with French Nazi collaborator Rabier (Benoît Magimel) to learn of her husband’s whereabouts. But as the months wear on without news of her husband, Duras must begin the process of confronting the unimaginable. Thro
