Association affiliated with the Société des Anglicistes de l'Enseignement Supérieur, the national organization for English academics in France.

The Société des Amis d’Inter-textes (S.A.I.T.) was founded by specialists in Anglophone literature who were interested in the relationship between different texts, and wanted to expand their research to incorporate the intersection of literature and the arts, or between the arts. Specialists of other areas (French and Italian literature, music, aesthetics) have been invited to the many conferences organised with themes (“Le Tableau”, “Blancs”, “Passages”) allowing us to explore the relationship between the verbal and the visual (Henry James), or between the verbal and the musical (Benjamin Britten).
