In the context of the new forms of implication, i.e. immersion in the surrounding reality and political commitment, which characterize today's literary landscape, a theoretical-critical framework will be provided on the writings of marginality, (dis)integration, and socio-cultural exclusion, with particular regard to the highly topical question of the urban suburbs, to then focus on the writings of and from prison (testimonial and investigative literature , reportage and creative re-elaboration of the experience of the detainees and of those who carry out cultural initiatives with them) and on the practices connected to them (reading and writing workshops, theatrical activities, etc.).
Among others, texts by Ahmed Djouder, Faïza Guène, François Bon, Annie Leclerc, Jane Sautière, Olivia Rosenthal, Joseph Ponthus, Samuel Gallet, Philippe Claudel, Annie Ernaux, Maylis de Kerangal.
