Georges Bataille meets Jane Eyre in Jane Austen's school

Two very different alerts for today, March 6, and tomorrow, March 7:

In Paris, France:

3e Colloque international de l’ADIREL, La littérature française au croisement des cultures
5 March 2008 - 8 March 2008
Université de Paris-Sorbonne

March 7
17h30(?) Gilles ERNST (professeur Université Nancy 2)

In Reading, Berkshire, UK, a student production of Jane Eyre:

The Abbey School
UIV & LV Production: Jane Eyre
06/03/08 - 08/03/08

Funny, because (wikipedia dixit):

Around one hundred years before the school was founded in 1887, the novelist Jane Austen attended Reading Ladies' boarding school within the Abbey gatehouse circa 1785, which is commemorated by, and incorporated into, the Abbey School's crest.
