De fil en aiguille: in the footsteps of Yvonne Verdier

Yvonne Verdier (1941-1989) is a major figure in French anthropology, as much for her research, which contributed to the renewal of rural ethnology and studies of traditional societies, as for her innovative approach to cultural practices. His archives, deposited at the Laboratoire d'anthropologie sociale (LAS), enable us to discover his research focused on the ethnology of France and the study of literary genres, from Minot to Thomas Hardy's Wessex, from Little Red Riding Hood to Shakespeare, from rite to novel.
