The two authors will each read an excerpt from their book, then explain their choice to explore the themes of foot travel, nature and memory in their works. This reading will be followed by a discussion during which the audience and our students will be able to ask questions.This event aims to establish links between our research in "embodied cognition", cognitive narratology and travel literature, and our teaching activity. It will enable us to offer our students a bilingual activity while promoting the teaching and study of literature at UNamur and within the NaLTT Institute. We hope to invite interested researchers and their students via our respective networks. With this theme, we will also fit in with UNamur's ecological and pedagogical objectives.

We are pleased to invite you, on Thursday June 19, 2025, to Julie Duchêne's lecture on the results of the "Loup, qui es-tu?" project.As part of this lecture, Julie Duchêne (PhD in History UNamur/FNRS FRESH) will present the results of her thesis devoted to the history of the wolf on Walloon and Luxembourg territories from the 18th to the 20th century, shedding new light on the history of the wolf in Wallonia. What were the images of the wolf conveyed by sources during this period? What policies were put in place by the various states to combat this species, until leading to its disappearance in the early 20th century? And, finally, who were the wolves that populated our lands at that time? Finally, Julie will share with the public the results of paleogenetic analyses carried out on a dozen naturalized wolves preserved in partner museums, institutions and venues throughout Wallonia, a project that was a first in Belgium, at the crossroads of history and biology. We hope to see many of you at this event. Welcome to you all! Sign up
