Anachronistic: A-normalities
From Friday, October 17, 2025 to Friday, May 29, 2026
Whether you’re a student, teacher, artist, activist or simply curious, the Anachroniques reading and discussion collective offers you an introduction to the social sciences in a friendly, open atmosphere, based on the principle of popular education: led by two historians who will first present the texts on the program, the seminars then give way to a collective discussion of the works, whether literary, historical or philosophical. The aim is to make the humanities and social sciences accessible to all.
Led by historians Jérémie Foa and Thomas Glesener (Aix-Marseille University).
In partnership with UMR TELEMMe.
