Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 9e volume : **"Nana"** "Dans les dernières années du Second Empire, quand Nana joue le rôle de Vénus au Théâtre des Variétés, son succès tient moins à son médiocre talent d’actrice qu’à la séduction de son corps nu, voilé d’une simple gaze. Elle aimante sur scène tous les regards comme elle attire chez elle tous les hommes : tentatrice solaire qui use de ses charmes pour mener une vie de luxure et de luxe, de paresse et de dépense. Grâce à elle, c’est tout un monde que le romancier parvient à évoquer, toute une époque et tout un style de vie. Ce neuvième volume des Rougon-Macquart est une satire cinglante des hautes sphères perverties par une fête qui ruine le peuple et détruit les valeurs" Babelio Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre : \- Simona va nous parler d'Emile Zola et de la série "Les Rougon\-Macquart" en privilégiant l'angle : Zola et les femmes" ; \- Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre de "Nana"\.

Pour cette rencontre de Février, nous nous rencontrerons autour de : **Moins qu'un chien de Charles Mingus** Saint et pécheur, Charles Mingus, génial contrebassiste et compositeur de jazz fut les deux à la fois. Sous la forme d'une longue confession à un psychiatre, Mingus raconte, sans fard, la lutte perpétuelle qu'il a menée contre le "monde des Blancs", la terre entière et Dieu. Homme de l'excès, il a vécu plusieurs vies en une, dans laquelle les femmes ont toujours tenu un rôle considérable. Si une place mineure est accordée à la musique, les lignes qu'il lui consacre frappent par leur justesse et leur sens critique (notamment envers le free-jazz). Nourrie de dialogues abondants, la narration, passant d'un "je" passionné à un "Charles" ou à un "Mingus" distanciés, souligne son caractère schizophrène. On flirte souvent avec le délire, et le détour par l'asile que fera Mingus n'étonnera personne. Plein d'humour et d'outrances, son livre aurait pu reprendre le titre d'une de ses compositions : Tout ce que tu pourrais être aujourd'hui si la femme de Sigmund Freud était ta mère. **Je m'en vais de Jean Echnoz** "Je m'en vais" annonce Félix Ferrer à la femme qui partage sa vie. Et le voici lancé dans une grande aventure. Sur la foi de son collaborateur Delahaye, ce galeriste parisien part pour le Pôle Nord. Quarante ans plus tôt, un navire a fait naufrage sur la banquise et à son bord se trouveraient des œuvres d'art inestimables : de l'art boréal, paléobaleinier. Le trésor trouvé, rapporté à Paris, entreposé, alors que Delahaye est mort, voici qu'il est dérobé. Ferrer est effondré, au bord de la faillite. A-t-il été manipulé, otage d'une sordide affaire combinée à son insu ? Les événements vont s'enchaîner, de plus en plus incroyables, insolites et fascinants... Félix Ferrer, séducteur quinquagénaire au système cardiaque peu brillant et propriétaire d'une galerie d'art moderne sur le déclin, s'en va. Il quitte sa femme pour en rejoindre une autre. Il abandonne Paris six mois plus tard et embarque à bord d'un bateau pour une expédition dans le Grand Nord canadien, à la recherche d'objets d'art inuit, enfouis dans une épave échouée sur la banquise. En effet, sur les conseils en investissement de son informateur et assistant Delahaye, Ferrer se décide à aborder l'art ethnique, plus à la mode que la peinture moderne. Il rentre à Paris avec son trésor inuit qui vaut une petite fortune. Quelques jours après son retour, les antiquités disparaissent mystérieusement... Ferrer, de nouveau victime d'alertes cardiaques, se réveille un jour à l'hôpital. Son regard se pose sur une belle jeune femme. Cette fois-ci, de façon surprenante, elle ne l'attire pas... Par la magie d'une écriture pleine d'ironie et de légèreté, Je m'en vais, faux polar mais vrai roman, récompensé par le prix Goncourt 1999, conduit très progressivement son lecteur au dénouement des intrigues avec une sorte de désinvolture et un humour certain. **Présentations d'auteurs** Annaïck et Zelda se chargeront, respectivement, de nous faire une courte biographie de MINGUS et de ECHENOZ afin de mieux éclairer/contextualiser les deux œuvres. Merci à elles ;) ! **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr/e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent/e le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre, discuter, autour d'un verre !

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

The topic for February is "Transitions" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

A classic Italian road comedy that was so good the film ministry recognized it as "culturally significant." Starring Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant, the film shows that for young men in love the rules of the road are only suggestions. And the rules for love? Hey, this is an Italian picture! Oh to be young and filled with joie de vivre or la dolce vita. A french/italian fun filled movie with a surprising twist at the end. Do you have a fun memory from your youth? Location TBD, but it will be in person for sure!
