Tu peux répéter ? Écrire, parler, expérimenter les langues avec Marianne Mispelaëre
Tu peux répéter ? Écrire, parler, expérimenter les langues avec Marianne Mispelaëre is a book published by Paraguay Press following several workshops with children around the question of language, led by the artist Marianne Mispelaëre in Marseille. For the design, Bureau Roman Seban and Claire Mouton used Rillus, Mercure and GT Pressura.
From the publisher’s website (translated):
We all agree that language is a rich resource. But what exactly are we talking about when certain languages are inaudible at school?
This book is an extension of the work carried out by artist Marianne Mispelaëre in a secondary school in Marseille between 2020 and 2022. It explores the different relationships that our languages – read, spoken, understood and surrounding us – have with the French language, with our histories and our identities, at school and in all social exchanges. Multilingual, allophones, born here or elsewhere, the students, in all their diversity, took part in workshops devised by the artist to explore the value of the languages that cross our lives – what a language does to, what a language says about our perception and understanding of the world.
