L'invitée du jour, jeudi, est Maggie Paxson. Dans son livre "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur", elle interroge sur la capacités des hommes à accueillir, protéger et résister en des temps difficiles. Elle fait le récit du parcours d'un des hommes qui a permis de sauver des milliers d'enfants juifs dans le village français du Chambon-sur-Lignon avec cette interrogation, qui résonne en notre époque troublée : et nous, qu'aurions-nous fait ?

Maggie Paxson : "Nous avons encore besoin de sociétés qui protègent les personnes vulnérables"

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with Writer, Anthropologist, and Performer Maggie Paxson, exploring her book, The Plateau, and the wartime music of The Bomb Shelter Cafe._____CONNECT WITH MAGGIE ON INSTAGRAM._____Maggie Paxson is the author of The Plateau (Riverhead Books, 2019), which received the 2020 American Library in Paris Book Award for the "moral urgency of the questions it poses, for its ambitious efforts to connect France’s past to its present, for its big heart, poetic writing and genre-defying structure." The Plateau was described by Oprah magazine as "radiant" and by the Washington Post as "a loving combination of personal memoir, historical investigation, and philosophical meditation." A writer, anthropologist, and performer, Paxson is also the author of Solovyovo: The Story of Memory in a Russian Village (Woodrow Wilson Center/Indiana University Press, 2005), a study of magic, ritual, and social memory in the rural Russian north. Her essays have appeared in TIME, Washington Post Magazine, Wilson Quarterly, and Aeon. Fluent in Russian and French, she has worked in rural communities in northern Russia, the Caucasus, and upland France. Paxson holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology from McGill University, and a Master of Science and Ph.D. in anthropology, both from the University of Montreal. She performs as a singer with the Imperial Palms Orchestra, one of the East Coast's leading big bands, featuring music of the 1920s through the 1940s. She has also launched a series of participatory events that she calls “Bomb Shelter Cafés,” inspired by the music and collective art of embattled communities during the Second World War.
