Introduction: Of Cooperation, Inspiration and Scholarly Production

Two of Larry's final research projects-Subversions of Verisimilitude (2009) and French Post-Modern Masculinity: From Neuromatrices to Seropositivity (2010)-informed his presentations at the atelier and, more importantly, the ongoing discussions that he developed throughout the past decade at the many conferences in which he spoke. Since many atelier participants also met Larry at other events, it was quite natural for the atelier topics and Larry's developing research to be part of a continuing dialogue. [...]we thank Colette Windish for joining her intellectual generosity and extraordinary talent to this volume with translations of essays by Duclert, Gaillard, Pierssens, and Roulin.
