André Gide, today

Introduction

From comics to music, theatre to photography, not to mention botany and gastronomy, the two series of ‘Gide Remix’ events (Mulhouse, 2018–2020) have enabled us to discover the Nobel Prize-winner’s writings in a new light, at the crossroads of literature, art and science. As his work enters the public domain, this volume brings together this collective reflection, led by creators, specialists and young researchers from various disciplines. “I write only to be reread,” is the wish expressed by Gide in his Journal des Faux-monnayeurs. To rise to this challenge, here is a collection comprising texts, interviews, archive photographs and previously unpublished images, representative of a body of work that continues to challenge us and inspire new forms of creation based on it. This very Gidean idea of multiplying viewpoints and perspectives, of attempting to question what is taken for granted, is something we are now seeking to rediscover, reinterpret and, above all, share with a wider audience.
