Les entretiENS de Normale Sup : Adèle Yon, 'Mon vrai nom est Elisabeth' | ENS-PSL

The video is a valuable institutional event that combines literary discussion with a broader social commitment. The presence of Adèle Yon, a philosopher and writer, provides a personal and intellectual perspective on themes of identity and violence. The discussion is well-moderated and benefits from the expertise of the participants. However, the content is primarily subjective and experiential, lacking empirical data or systematic analysis. The institutional framing, while important, may limit the critical depth of the conversation. The sources cited are institutional and related to the event, but no external academic references are provided. The title accurately reflects the content, and the video serves as a useful resource for understanding the intersection of literature, gender studies, and institutional responses to violence. The discussion is thoughtful and nuanced, but it does not offer groundbreaking new insights beyond the author’s personal testimony and the school’s existing initiatives. Overall, the video is informative and well-produced, but its scientific value is limited by its subjective nature and lack of rigorous analysis.

The title accurately reflects the content: a conversation with Adèle Yon about her book 'Mon vrai nom est Elisabeth'.
