The Enchanted Researchers Society, also known as Société Française Vladimir Nabokov, is
organizing its first International Conference in Paris. Many of the most
knowledgeable Nabokov scholars from Europe and North America will be
rallying together around the conference's theme, "Nabokov and France",
exploring the various facets of this relationship: how did French culture
influence Nabokov? What kind of creative dialogue did he entertain with his
French peers, dead and contemporary? What image of France does his fiction
offer? What role does the French language play in his writing? How can the
specifics of French thought engage with Nabokov's art? What legacy has he
left among today's French writers? Alongside the daytime conference,
several evening events will broaden the conference's perspective: a
performance-happening by two visual artists, Alexandra Loewe and Indira
Tatiana Cruz, and a reading of "Mademoiselle O", Nabokov's only French
short story, by Denis Podalydès; a film adaptation made by students
followed by a debate on how to teach Nabokov; and, to conclude, a guided
tour on Sunday morning around "le Paris de Nabokov". The conference is free
and open to all. Please register if you wish to attend.
