A Science of Imaginary Solutions: Celebrating the Pataphysical Collection at UVic Libraries In-Person
Join UVic Libraries, the Department of French and Francophone Studies, and the Consulate General of France to celebrate a new collection focused on pataphysics, an international movement founded by French playwright Alfred Jarry in the late 19th-century. Pataphysics, or the "science of imaginary solutions," is an absurdist artistic movement recognized as the precursor to Dadaism, Surrealism, Oulipo, and the Theater of the Absurd. UVic Libraries is now home to seminal pataphysical works, providing a unique opportunity to study this movement, which is still active today. Learn more about pataphysics from Dr. Marc Lapprand and view collection highlights, including journals published by the Collège de Pataphysique.
