Gérard Berréby looks back at the first publishing experience of the man who was to become the director of Allia publishing house: the decision, in the early 1980s, to produce a pirate edition of Aragon's book—at the time opposed to any reprinting—, an unprecedented gesture that provoked numerous reactions in the literary world, and raised a number of questions linked to appropriation and self-publishing (copying and falsification, circulation of texts, misappropriation, copyright, publishing as a political gesture, etc.).
Aurélie Noury is in charge of the library at the École Supérieure d'Arts & Médias (ESAM) in Caen and editor at
Incertain Sens.
Gérard Berréby (born 1950 in Thala, Tunisia) is a French publisher and writer, who founded Allia Editions in 1982.
