Collectionneurs & psyché

Edición de la obra Collectionneurs & psyché

Born from the passion of its founder Michel Wittock for books, the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, has chosen to include in its program a cycle of study days and publications on the theme of collectors. These days, organized in partnership with various universities and in particular Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle and the Université Libre de Bruxelles, are open to all audiences: collectors but also institutional officials, scientists, artists, students and other curious people. 'Collectors & Psyche' was the theme of the first day of study held at the Bibliotheca Wittockiana in March 2019. The proceedings of this day are now available. Established under the direction of Geraldine David (Bibliotheca Wittockiana) and François Mairesse (University of Paris 3 'Sorbonne Nouvelle), they constitute the first volume of the series 'What to collect means'. Questions are asked about the sometimes thin line between the motivations of collectors and the pathological disorders that may be linked to collecting, the existence, proven or fictitious, of a 'collection disease', the symptoms and stages more or less progress in its development ... These questions, like many others, are tackled by a panel of specialists - museologists, psychologists, curators, psychiatrists - which have been joined by collectors who have lent themselves to the game Née de la passion de son fondateur Michel Wittock pour les livres, la Bibliotheca Wittockiana, a choisi d'inscrire à son programme un cycle de journées d'études et de publications sur le thème des collectionneurs.

Établis sous la direction de Géraldine David (Bibliotheca Wittockiana) et de François Mairesse (Université de Paris 3 'Sorbonne Nouvelle), ils constituent le premier volume de la série ±Ce que collectionner veut dire?. Sont posées les questions de la frontière parfois ténue entre les motivations des collectionneurs et les troubles pathologiques pouvant être liés au collectionnisme, l'existence, avérée ou fictive, d'une 'maladie de la collection', les symptômes et les stades plus ou moins avancés de son développement... Ces interrogations, comme bien d'autres, sont abordées par un panel de spécialistes -muséologues, psychologues, conservateurs, psychiatres -auxquels se sont joints des collectionneurs qui se sont prêtés au jeu Born from the passion of its founder Michel Wittock for books, the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, has chosen to include in its program a cycle of study days and publications on the theme of collectors.
