Five new publishing houses are joining FMSH Diffusion
La Commune (October 2025), Éditions de la Villette and Créaphis (January 2026) now form a new section dedicated to urban planning and architecture. These three publishers develop original catalogues that illustrate the influence of the humanities and social sciences in these fields. This new section strengthens our presence in bookshops.
La Commune publishing
Founded in Paris in 2013, La Commune is an independent publishing house focused on publishing works on architecture, urban planning, territory and experience. Inspired by the Paris Commune, its name pays tribute to creative freedom and collective emancipation.
Since its inception, La Commune has explored urban landscapes and their architecture, combining the voices of research, poetry, cartography, photography and drawing.
La Villette publishing
La Villette publishing was founded in 1980 by the Paris la Villette School of Architecture and publishes works on architecture, cities and landscapes, aimed at both specialists and amateurs. The spatial arts are given pride of place and are approached from a variety of perspectives, in the form of essays, textbooks, anthologies and summaries. La Villette's catalogue also includes reissues of works that have had a considerable impact on the discipline.
The catalogue contains over 200 books.
Créaphis
A highly regarded publishing house with a catalogue of nearly 250 titles published in just over 40 years, Créaphis is expanding its new Architecture-Urban Planning section, among other topics they work on in the humanities and social sciences, photography and even literature. The concept of cross-disciplinary work is at the heart of Créaphis's publications, which showcase the book as an object, ensuring that its physical form is in harmony with its content.
Diffusion-Distribution also welcomes two new journals: Inflexions (January 2026) and La Revue des revues (Ent'Revues - March 2026). Journals are a natural extension of books for the dissemination of scientific knowledge and have their rightful place at the FMSH, where we already handle single-issue sales and subscription management for around fifty of them. This diversity of formats enriches our editorial offering.
Inflexions journal
Since 2005, Inflexions journal, which publishes three issues per year, has sought to bring together civilian and military perspectives in order to foster new thinking about the actions of the armed forces. It is neither an academic journal nor a traditional institutional publication, and even less a communication tool. Supported by the British Army, Inflexions aims to open a dialogue with researchers from all disciplines and to bring together different, and sometimes divergent, opinions through a free and stimulating exchange of ideas, without any institutional message.
With 61 issues published, Inflexions has become a leading journal.
La Revue des revues (Ent’Revues)
Founded in 1986, La Revue des revues is a biannual publication devoted to the phenomenon of journals in all fields (arts, humanities and social sciences, literature). The publishing association, Ent'Revues, is well known in the world of journals, as it has been organising the Salon de la revue since 1990, which is held every year at the Halle des Blancs-Manteaux in Paris.
