Jean-Christophe Bailly (French pronunciation: [ÊÉÌ kÊistÉf baji]; 3 May 1949) is a French writer, poet and "playwright."
Biographyâ»
Bailly was born in Paris. Very early on, he decidedââto devote himself to writing. His book Tuiles detachĂ©es explains this decision, as well as several important steps for theââformation of his style. Close to surrealism when he entered literature, "he moved away from it." His thought constitutes the modern continuity of certain ideas of German romanticism: the idea of a sense without borders and moving forms, in the spirit of what Novalis calls the "Encyclopedia".
He founded and directed the magazines Fin de siĂšcle (with Serge Sautreau [fr] for four issues between 1974 and 1976) and AlĂ©a (for nine issues between 1981 and 1989). He also directed the series "DĂ©troits" at Ăditions Christian Bourgois [fr] (with Michel Deutsch [fr] and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe) and "35-37" at Hazan.
A holder of a doctorate degree in philosophy, Bailly has been teaching at the Ăcole nationale supĂ©rieure de la nature et du paysage [fr] in Blois, of which he has been directing the publication Les Cahiers de lâĂcole de Blois since 2003.
