Past Events

Signing Session (May 8th, 2003): presentation and launch of Jrme Meizozs book, Le Gueux Philosophe. The author, an assistant professor at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne, signed a reflection on the status of intellectuals and their relation to power. The book also contains an interview with Yvette Jaggi, president of the foundation Pro Helvetia, on Jean-Jacques Rousseau et la politique, aujourdhui (Jean-Jacques Rousseau and politics, today).

Music Festival (June 20th 22nd, 2003) : parallel to the two concerts organised at the Htel de Ville, lEspace Rousseau conceived and produced a didactic, sonorous document titled Rousseau, The Musician . As it drew much interest, it was then permanently integrated into our exhibition. The visitors can listen to the document, which lasts 30 minutes.

The Anniversary of Espace Rousseau (June 28th 2003 & 2004): Every year on the 28th of June, Espace Rousseau celebrates Jean-Jacques Rousseaus birth, in the city of Geneva. Over the past two years it has become an open day at Espace Rousseau where an anniversary cake is shared in the memory of Genevas most famous citizen. see the poster

This Prize was created in order to honour the watch-making tradition of Geneva, which the Rousseau family contributed to make famous worldwide. see the poster

Fureur de Lire - the 2003 edition (September 24th-28th, 2003) : on the theme of desire, Espace Rousseau published, in collaboration with Zo publishers, the Lettres Sara, Jean-Jacques Rousseaus unsung love letters to an imaginary woman who bears resemblance with his great love Sophie dHoudetot. Reading was by the well-known newscaster Darius Rochebin, the conference was given by Professor Alain Grosrichard and a text from The New Heloise was staged.

The Jean-Jacques Rousseau Comic Strip Competition: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th century Thinker and Spirit of Today (December 2003) : There are few people whose lives were as epic as Jean-Jacques Rousseaus. At once a hero and an anti-hero, and as relayed in the Confessions, Rousseau is easily cast as a character in a comic strip. In conjunction with Genevas Comic Strip Prize, the Espace Rousseau, emulating the former, launched its own international competition, hoping to find a candidate capable of producing a future comic strip.  to know more in french, see the poster
