Seagram Lecture: "/Cardenio/, or How to Read and Stage a Lost Play" - Roger Chartier

Thursday, September 4, 2008 11:30to13:00
Faculty Club 3450 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, H3A 0E5, CA

Roger Chartier is Chair of History of Written Culture in Modern Europe, Collège de France, Professor of History, École des hautes études en Sciences Sociales, and Annenberg Visiting Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania. He frequently lectures and teaches in the United States, Spain, México, Brazil and Argentina. His work in Early Modern European History was rooted in the tradition of the "Annales School" and mainly dedicated to the history of education, the history of the book and the history of reading. Recently, he has focused on the relationship between written culture as a whole and literature (particularly theatrical plays) for France, England and Spain. His work in this specific field (based on the criss-crossing between literary criticism, bibliography, and sociocultural history) is not disconnected from broader historiographical and methodological interests which deal with the relation between history and other disciplines: philosophy, sociology, anthropology.
