"Avant-garde as Generalized Relativity: Alfred Jarry's Dramaturgy and Contemporary Theater", Acta universitatis wratislaviensis, n° 462, 1979, pp. 45-57.
This colloquium, organized by our Polish colleagues in a university chalet in Karpacz, at the foot of the Giant Mountains, was one of the most memorable experiences for each of the participants, some belonging to the University of Wroclaw (the former Breslau, in Silesia) others to the University Paris III. I was then posted at the University of Abidjan, but I still belonged to my original university. We were stuck for four days (25-28-IV-1977) in this chalet, surrounded by snow. The discussions between Anne Ubersfeld (Institute of Theater Studies of Paris III) and our hosts, notably Jazef Heistein and Alexandre Labuda, were very lively and very instructive. Hunger, cold seasoned with vodka brought us closer in endless nocturnal conversations. The Proceedings of this meeting were fully published in the journal of the French department of Wroclaw two years later.
Not having the journal at hand, I give here the text of my article reproduced in Littéruptures, Lausanne, L'Age d'Homme, 1988, pp. 17-27.
