A new world of writings of reality emerges when social sciences meet literature.

Narratives, biographies, reportages, diaries: all these writings of reality make up another literature, driven by the will to understand. They are structured by the social sciences, which also possess a literary dimension. Because research, when it analyzes its own point of view, when it says "I" and dares to write, is also research about its own forms. This third continent is emerging before our eyes: a land where research and creation are reconciled.
