February, 5 and 6 an international conference organized by Annick Asso, Helena and Patrick Dermichian Louvier, entitled “Speech and representations of the Armenian Genocide was held at the University Paul Valery under the centenary celebrations labeled by Mission 2015 CCAF.

This symposium brought together two research laboratories, and RIRRA CRISIS 21. It was a wonderful conference. Besides the eminent quality of the participants and their communications, there was, the general view, a breath. This breath, it was that of the humanistic spirit that animated all participants.

The approach was not meant communitarian.

It was a great success. A public lady confided moved, have learned more in two days than 71 years of existence. The research must radiate in civil society and participate in the world. We held the bet.

On the evening of February 5 was held a screening of three beautiful films of Artavazd Peleshyan (“We”, “Seasons” and “Our Century”) led by Vincent Deville, lecturer in film studies. We were honored by the presence of Mrs Anne-Yvonne Le Dain, socialist deputy of Herault and Vice President of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, we come show his support. We thank Ms Le Dain his unfailing presence at our side since the launch of centennial events. His generosity and commitment are humanistic beautiful lights on our roads. (Photos attached).

The proceedings, addressing the Armenian genocide at an angle quite new, will be published later in 2015.
