Title:
Our Words, and Theirs: A Reflection on the Historian's Craft, Today

Speaker:
Carlo Ginzburg

Abstract:
What is the relationship between the idiom of the observer (historian, anthropologist) and the idiom of the actors, dead or alive? This question, which has been addressed from widely different (and usually unrelated) points of view, provides an oblique approach to the cognitive, moral, and political implications of the historian’s craft today.
