Literary publishing. Drawing on completely new documentation taken from the archives of the publisher Gallimard, Alban Cerisier outlines a historical overview of graphic practices in French literary publishing since the early 20th century. He thus casts a singular light on the way the "graphic function" works with publishers. He will look at a number of major figures in the trade, who have sought to conciliate their own sensibility and desire for innovation with technical constraints and the demands of legibility.
Talk by Alban Cerisier (publishing historian and general secretary of Gallimard).
