Please join us for the next event inour series, "Nodes, Networks, Names: Recovering, Understanding, Representing Them."
Assistant Professor Alison Calhoun (French and Italian, Indiana University) will discuss her forthcoming monograph, Montaigne's Transverse Self: The Lives of the Philosophers in the Essais, in which she explores the ways in which the name-driven genre of life writing helps Montaigne not onlycollapse notions of exemplarity, but also find new, less positivistic ways of writing about himself.
Lunch will be served.
