Languages and literature

Cahiers ERTA is a platform for scientific exchange on modern and contemporary French literature. Cahiers ERTA was first designed as a series of “Around…” monographs, published as part of the activities of the scientific research group ERTA (research team in applied theory), founded in 2006 by Ewa Wierzbowska, Tomasz Swoboda and Olga Wronska. Two monographs were published in 2008 and 2011.

The new unifying theme of the HCTI-EA 4249 host research team is entitled “Leading lines” (“Lignes de force”). A continuation of the theme of the previous contract, “Power ratios” (“Rapport de force”), this theme also emphasizes relationships to images. Indeed, while “leading lines” is a concept specific to iconography, painting and architecture, it can nevertheless be perfectly applied to the structures of texts and discourse.

The Centre de recherche bretonne et celtique (CRBC) is a multidisciplinary research laboratory whose 43 members (historians, linguists, Anglicists and Celticists, enthnologists, sociologists...) explore topics and areas of research within Breton and Celtic cultural domains. They also lead individual or collective research in other fields, across Europe, the Atlantic and beyond.
