Abstract
This article looks at events featuring authors of social science publications held at a bookshop in a large French city. Study of the organization and the system of author events, combined with a series of interviews with attendees, sheds light on a local social science cultural offering and reveals the ongoing transformation of bookshops’ role as cultural intermediaries. The bookshop carries out a form of hybrid consecration, between the university and the general public, and uses these events as a tool to maintain its symbolic capital in a close relationship with the academic world.
