Conference organized by the Observatory on Extremism and Emerging Trends

A look back at the event on May 21, 2026.

Audrey Coudevylle, senior lecturer in XXᵉ century literature and cantology, explores a little-known aspect of Colette's work in her research: the sonic dimension. A specialist in French chanson and women's voices, she reveals how the author transformed sounds, voices and melodies into a literary language in their own right. Her approach, at the crossroads of literature and music, offers a new key to understanding Colette's universe, where every word seems to resonate like a note.

This event is part of a series of conferences on the Social Solidarity Economy organized by the CRISS department of the Laboratoire de Recherche Sociétés et Humanités (LARSH), with the Intervention sociale teaching stream and the "Développement local et économie solidaire" and "Tiers-Lieux et dynamiques territoriales" courses of the Institut Sociétés et Humanités' Gestion des territoires et développement local master's degree program, with the support of the Chaire en économie sociale et solidaire et soutenabilité du territoire Hauts-de-France (ChairESS). It is being produced, exceptionally, in partnership with the PHARE association, holder of the Auton'hommes PTCE.
