An insider’s story of changes in society, technology, creativity and how they have affected and will affect the publishing of books, journals, and whatever new social media avenues evolve. It is a story of hope for the future not nostalgia for the past.

Conferences Eutopos 

The search for a good place, or an eutopos, has been at the roots of Brotéria's activity over the last year. At Brotéria, we believe that this search has not yet been exhausted. On the contrary, there is still plenty of hidden good to show, many good unknown lives to reveal, many good transformative projects to share. We live in a rugged world, where progress is slow, but where good is built and where hope often does become visibly concrete.   

In the first quarter of the year, Brotéria presented three conferences on three topoi in which the good and what is good can be revealed: biographies of female personalities who went unnoticed during their time, the search for the relevance of books in a highly technological reality, and the search for beauty through music.
