  1. International Symposium: “Foreign Images and Practices of Bibliotherapy: From ‘The Arabian Nights’ to ‘Manga’, University of Strasbourg, 27-29 January 2021

 

The idea that books can cure is very popular in contemporary Western culture, where workshops of “bibliotherapy” and books aiming at strengthening mental health blossom. This new attitude is a turning point in the conception of literature’s role since 1950. The new set of images and practices connect literature not only to the aesthetic sphere, but also to everyday life.
