Vincent Eches

Born in 1966 in Besançon.
Nomadic childhood spent between Lorraine, the Paris region, Germany, Benin and Burkina Faso.
Graduated from ESC Rouen in 1989 (at the same time attending the preparatory class for entry to the Conservatoire national d’Art dramatique at the Théâtre des deux Rives in Rouen).
1989-1990: administrator of the Roseau Théâtre in Paris and Avignon.
1990-1992: deputy cultural attaché at the French Embassy in Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania).
There I staged the first and probably only theatrical production in French and Swahili.
1992 – 1995: in charge of public relations and productions at the scène nationale de Cergy Pontoise.
I produced several shows there, notably in collaboration with Vietnam.
1995-1998: Director of the Comédie de Béthune – Centre Dramatique National.
1998 to 2022: deputy director, then managing director (in 2010) of La Ferme du Buisson, an EPCC which brings together, in a single architectural and heritage complex based in Marne-la-Vallée, a national stage, a contemporary art center of national interest, and two movie theaters.
For twelve years, I led a resolutely multi-disciplinary and unusual project, open to the world and its territory, where the multiplicity of programming venues and the originality of the relationships forged with audiences question and enrich the artistic proposals.
In 2014, with only a deep love of the 9th art and a network of acquaintances in the field, I imagined an annual festival dedicated to comics and their intersection with the performing and visual arts. Since then, the PULP Festival has met with undeniable critical and public success (an average of 25,000 visits per edition), and has established itself as a benchmark event for authors, who benefit from the resources of a national stage and art center to develop their graphic, visual and scenic projects.
2022 to present: Managing Director of the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée, an EPCC comprising a museum, an exhibition space for permanent and temporary collections, an author residency structure, the Maison des auteurs, an art cinema, libraries – public reading room and heritage collection -, a documentation and research center and a specialized bookshop.
The Cité’s mission is to preserve, expand, disseminate and promote collections of original works; to welcome authors in residence and encourage graphic or visual creation, and to support authors in the expression of their art in order to facilitate the publication and dissemination of their works in all media; to organize and host events, screenings, shows, symposia and all other artistic and cultural events testifying to comics and images in their greatest diversity of expression; to be a center for resources, dissemination, innovation and encounters in the field of comics and images; to contribute to the dissemination of comics and raise awareness of them among all publics, not only amateurs, but also young audiences, schoolchildren and those far removed from culture, via educational initiatives and programs.
At the same time:
2003 -2010: co-founder and manager of the production company Made In Productions.
For nine years, I co-directed the development of this limited liability company in several areas: production/broadcasting of shows in France and Europe, audiovisual and film production (notably the film Panique au village – official selection for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival), cultural engineering (organization of festivals, studies, training courses, etc.)
2000-2006: co-founder and co-manager of a poultry farm in Senegal.

Throughout his articles and books, some of which are translated into several languages, he develops an in-depth analysis that rethinks the whole construction of our modernity. This does not prevent him from being a specialist in Greek philosophy, which has renewed our reading of Plato and the Stoics.
His work is based on a broad multidisciplinary approach, at the crossroads of philosophy, the history of ideas, history, archeology, geography, the history of art, and religious sciences. He thinks of philosophy as a global grasp of reality, while integrating the long term, in the tradition of French historiography.

Jean-Joël Duhot – Université Jean moulin Lyon 3 & IRPHIL (Institute of Philosophical Research of Lyon)

Doctor of State in Philosophy, Associate of Letters and Philosophy, Jean-Joël Duhot is professor-researcher emeritus at the University of Lyon.

Philosopher, Hellenist, and musician, he has worked for half a century on the foundations of rationality, in a search for historical epistemology. He notably brought to light the central place which, since Pythagoras, the theory of music has occupied in the constitution of scientific reason.

Throughout his articles and books, some of which are translated into several languages, he develops an in-depth analysis that rethinks the whole construction of our modernity.

This does not prevent him from being a specialist in Greek philosophy, which has renewed our reading of Plato and the Stoics.

His work is based on a broad multidisciplinary approach, at the crossroads of philosophy, the history of ideas, history, archeology, geography, the history of art, and religious sciences. He thinks of philosophy as a global grasp of reality, while integrating the long term, in the tradition of French historiography.
