Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)

Presentem seguidament el projecte de revista Humanitats (1929), concebuda com a òrgan de la Fundació Bernat Metge i com a plataforma de difusió de l’activitat classicista a Catalunya i a l’exterior, amb especial atenció a la contribució de Mario Meunier sobre l’esperit europeu i les humanitats.
