Overview

UGA Éditions — historically known as ELLUG, the Éditions littéraires et linguistiques de l'Université de Grenoble — is the university press of Université Grenoble Alpes in France. It publishes scholarly monographs, edited volumes and academic journals, with a catalogue concentrated in the humanities and social sciences: literature, languages, history, philosophy, cinema, geography, education, and the history of science, alongside selected works in science and technology. Its editorial identity is closely tied to the Grenoble academic tradition, and its list includes long-running series and journals such as Bibliothèque stendhalienne et romantique, Moyen Âge européen, Italie plurielle, Didaskein, Grenoble Sciences, and the Revue de géographie alpine / Journal of Alpine Research. The publisher operates as a service of the university rather than as an independent commercial house. Its website presents the catalogue, forthcoming titles, calls for contributions, and practical information for authors, booksellers and readers. Contact details place its offices on the Grenoble university campus at Saint-Martin-d'Hères, with correspondence handled through the Université Grenoble Alpes address in Grenoble. The site is produced by the university's information systems and communications departments, and content is managed with K-Sup, a portal and content-management solution dedicated to higher education. In its current form the imprint is branded UGA Éditions, reflecting the consolidation of Grenoble's university press activities under the Université Grenoble Alpes identity, while the ELLUG name remains associated with its literary and linguistic publishing heritage. The house participates in public scholarly events — book presentations, the Fête de la science, and the Rendez-vous de l'histoire de Blois — and maintains an active programme of new releases and journals. Its output serves researchers, students and general readers interested in rigorous academic work, distributed through the university and the book trade.

History

ELLUG — the Éditions littéraires et linguistiques de l'Université de Grenoble — grew out of the publishing activities of the Grenoble academic community, particularly in literary and linguistic scholarship. Over time these activities were consolidated under the imprint of the Université Grenoble Alpes, and the publisher now presents itself as UGA Éditions, the university's press. The ELLUG name remains attached to the house's literary and linguistic heritage and to the scholarly series it built. The catalogue reflects the breadth of Grenoble research: literature and romance studies (Bibliothèque stendhalienne et romantique), medieval studies (Moyen Âge européen), Italian studies (Italie plurielle, Cahiers d'études italiens), language and education (Didaskein, Lidil), geography and mountain studies (Revue de géographie alpine / Journal of Alpine Research), philosophy, cinema, history of science, and science publishing (Grenoble Sciences). The publisher also maintains journals such as Recherches & Travaux, Études écossaises, Féeries, Gaia, Géolinguistique, ILCEA, Iris, and Représentations dans le monde anglophone. As a university press, UGA Éditions operates within the university's administrative and communications structures. Its website is produced by the university's information systems and communications departments, and content is managed with K-Sup, a higher-education content-management solution. The house runs an active programme of new titles and forthcoming books, issues calls for contributions, and takes part in public scholarly events, including the Fête de la science and the Rendez-vous de l'histoire de Blois. Its offices are located on the Grenoble university campus at Saint-Martin-d'Hères, with correspondence directed to the Université Grenoble Alpes address in Grenoble.
