The J’Mlire association is celebrating its literary rentrée with a conference on George Sand, a committed novelist.
J’Mlire President Patricia Daussin highlights the novelist George Sand during a conference on Friday, September 27 at 6 p.m., “George Sand, a committed writer,” at the auditorium of the Palais des Congrès Mazamet. “George Sand often benefits from a stereotypical image: she is generally presented either as a woman with multiple lovers, or as a regionalist author telling Berry romances!”
Patricia Daussin, associate professor of history, illustrates famous or not famous women (often from the south of Tarn) to highlight them during conferences.
“However, this writer, who occupied the literary scene for almost half a century, author of more than 70 novels, stories, plays, and memoirs, never ceased to illustrate her political convictions through her life and work. She founded newspapers to disseminate her social ideas, wrote thesis novels and ended up joining the Republicans and the provisional government of the Second Republic in 1848.”
The conference is given by Annick Dussault, member of the Friends of Gorge Sand in partnership with the Association Jaures Etudes Tarnaises.
Annick Dussault, heritage conservation officer, for a long time director of the George Sand museum in La Châtre, near Nohant, member of the board of directors of the Friends of George Sand invites you to discover a lesser-known facet of this novelist who wrote: “in all my books, even the most innocent […] you will see there a continual opposition against your bourgeoisie, your governments, […] your social inequality and a constant sympathy for the common people.”
Free entry and participation.
On Saturday, September 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., a play by Debbie Weiss “George Sand, a writer of passions” at the Aussillon media library. Free admission.
