I think some of you have already received information about our programs for the end of 2012. As you’ll see, our activities have been «picking up steam» since the three-day major conference in September (SJP, A. Césaire, E. Glissant)—which many of you attended!—and also with the sessions of the seminar on «The Poetics of the Humanities»! We thank you very much, and we will be sure to let you know when the proceedings of this meeting are published in the near future.
Please allow me, nevertheless, to send you a summary of our upcoming events; I hope you’ll forgive me for being so persistent? If we want to continue the institute’s mission, we need you and your support today. .
In addition, new programs will be launched in 2013, and we hope you'll join us, too!For now, here’s a reminder of the next six events in November and December 2012 at the Institut du Tout-monde! (see below). We're counting on you to join us! Please check out our programs on the website www.tout-monde.com … the entire team at the Institute is looking forward to seeing you!
