1 IETT - Institut d'Etudes Transtextuelles et Transculturelles

Within the IETT, we study texts, we study cultures, we study the connections between texts and contexts, texts and texts, and texts and cultures. These texts and cultures concern the written, the visual and the sung, the canonical, the middlebrow and the popular. However hard we try to marshall and contain them, literatures and cultures will always shift and change with time and space. They also have a tendency to refuse to stay in their national boxes-they travel, are translated. Sitting here in Europe we sometimes have little idea of the impact of English literature further afield, on literary creativity, on social critique and even on political life.
