Introduction [Music] [Applause] [Music] I am a reader of pamuk Oram pamuk who is my colleague at Columbia University in New York and who we invited at the college the France in Paris a couple of years ago for a series of lectures yesterday I I was here for a short time but I went to the Museum of Innocence the first time I was here was in 1971 so it's a long time ago I was a young man I was 20 and I visited turkey and this was my longest visit in turkey and visiting Istanbul but 1971 is two generations ago go turkey is no longer the same place at The painter of Modern Life [Music] all of course I just spoke of U bodair and there were a couple of connections with turkey in in bodair his stepfather was a French Ambassador in Constantinople Istanbul in from 1848 to 1871 and the person who b b calls the painter of Modern Life is Conant G who was present during the cran war and was a reporter making drawings that were sent to a newspaper in Paris he followed the news and sent drawings to his newspaper in London The Illustrated London news and with these drawings they made wood Engravings for instance constant G was present here during the crean war so there are many drawings about the war and about Istanbul and Constantinople so he sent these drawings to London and a couple of days later they appeared in the newspaper with an article illustrating an article which he often also wrote because he was there and the information came from him so there are many drawing bodair owned the drawings about The Louvre [Music] turkey the L decided last year to have a wrer in Residence so I started about a year ago so uh I go to the lou two three times a week I don't stay long but I now I've seen now I know the L quite well because for many weeks I've been there and each week two little texts are published about the Lou was one is on Facebook and with my voice and the first one and the second one both are on the S of the L so people can visit the Lou following all the objects paintings sculptures that I've have mentioned and in fact I did a couple of visits with people so it's called M my perhaps it will be turned into a book at the end but I don't know yet because I want to go to the end of the experience to decide whether it's worth a book or not but it might be so of course have written on the lure in the past on the relationship of a number of writers with the Lou jid went to the lou on a daily basis po went often to to the lou so I've been interesting in the way the Lou is present in French literature in the past and I will probably do most stuff on the L and it's present in French The Daily literature [Music] bodair spoke of the daily newspapers of the mid 19th century the daily the modern daily as we know it started in 1836 in France there were two dailies at the time one called LA Press and the other one called L the century so these were two and the the main innovation in those dailies was that they were cheap because before that news papers any form of newspapers were only for the elite expensive and so the big difference in these datas is that they were large as we know them as we have known them until the digital age and they had publicity it was four pages the last fourth page was only publicity and on the first page the bottom of the first page was a phot a series a novel which was published every day a chapter being published every day so what made the success of the new modern daily is both publicity and the Fon which became a genre and B reacted about the daily in a in the sense that people read it's a sort of a distance from the crimes Wars problems of the world the Daily Newspaper makes you of a spectator of evil with a comfortable distance there is a a line in Latin poetry which is suave Mari Magno so this there's a tempest on the sea and you are on the shore and you look at the Tempest people will die but you're protected and there's a sense of sweetness Suave Suave so this is what B doesn't like a about the newspaper is seeing evil in a peaceful way the spectacle of evil in the world and I think this hasn't changed that much when I read the newspaper every day now it's uh digital I never read printed newspapers anymore but we read about wars terrorism crimes this is our daily reading and B thought that uh man was evil that man was not good as Russo used to say and the daily newspaper is in a sense the proof of that evilness I don't think much has changed since the mid 19 century in that sense so we have to read a newspaper every day but we have to be aware of the distance that we have with the news unless we are the victim of these events Wars crimes Etc then we are involved then we no longer read the [Music] [Applause] newspaper
