Book Launch for "Herculine Barbin" by Patrick Chambon

The bookstore Nouvel Équipage invites you to the launch event for the graphic novel “ Herculine Barbin” by Patrick Chambon, featuring Éric Fassin for a discussion of the work.

With a foreword by Laurie Laufer and preceded by Michel Foucault’s “La Vie des hommes infâmes,” this book offers a unique graphic reinterpretation of the life of Herculine Barbin, a historical figure and symbol of issues surrounding intimacy, power, and social norms.

Adapted for film and theater, this graphic adaptation offers a new perspective on a little-known story.
