Pascal Crittin
General Affairs Director at the Swiss Television Radio and musicologist.
“A book is a space of exchanges, a crossroad between worlds, universes of thought and imaginations which, without it, may have never met or impregnated each other. Well beyond the boundaries of time and continents. This exchange, this cross between glances, this multiplication of views is the very heart of ACEL. May our studies promote the book as a precious currency.”
