In the series of surprising texts that Pascale Bernardin delivers to us today, it is perhaps a question of letting the listening patiently accumulated during the hours of pose be exercised differently or of rediscovering the lost memory of ancestors whose language or codes we hardly know anymore. Far from being simply a response to the silence of the body, these few stories bear witness to a never-extinguished dissidence, which writing can finally let unfold.

— Stéphane Martelly, preface

Collection designed and directed by Stéphane Martelly, the collection Martial arts brings together voices that have not yet been read. Brave, they advance on paths traced by themselves.
