site remue.net defends a literature of resistance

With 5000 visitors a day, opening around 18,000 pages and 1,200 subscribers to the free weekly newsletter, the site www.remue.net is now firmly established in the landscape of Internet literature. Founded in 1996 by Francois Bon eclectic writer, specializing in Rabelais and the Rolling Stones, playwright and fiction, the site became for five years a group of writers with different sensibilities.

These "mixers" are interested in prose and poetry, philosophy and photography, French and foreign authors. Their web site is the journal of the library, but also of the conversation or vagrancy among people who share information, discoveries or uprisings, through a multitude of trees, links, references to images, readings and contacts.
pages are a reflection of the journey of François Bon. Defender of creative literature, away from the worship of the bestselling business, he has become known among other things by his practice of writing workshops to the public culturally deprived: prisoners, young apprentices in the suburbs, long-term unemployed ... For him, literature is "act and ability to invent and to resist, the real story of this world we live in and that we share."

The journal is the pier to the virtual navigation. Traditionally, a drafting committee seeks input and selects the texts. Unlike some magazines published also on paper, that of stirring devices is exclusively online. "No number is exhausted. Texts published for several years are still accessible," says Dominique Dussidour, novelist (If it's hell he sees. In the Studio by Edvard Munch, Gallimard) and coordinator of the magazine.

"The Net allows us to complete the review of old items, adding the information, text or links," said Dominique Dussidour.

Dozens of contemporary writers are the subject of voluminous records. Samuel Beckett, Marguerite Duras, Claude Simon, Bernard-Marie Koltes and Georges Perec by side with other voices, Patrick Chamoiseau, Jacques Dupin, Leslie Kaplan, Antoine Volodin ... The

riddlers have developed audio and video. "We start with the launch of readings aloud that we organize every year, "said Laurent Grisel, another poet and coordinator of the review. For these writers emerge once a year from their screen. On June 26, they offer an evening playing live at the premises Paris Theatre Open.
