Der Historiker Carlo Ginzburg (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa) hält im Rahmen der Dahlem Humanities Center Lectures einen Vortrag mit dem Titel "Our Words and Theirs. A Reflection on the Historian's Craft Today".

What is the relationship between the historian’s language and the language used by the actors of history – the individuals he/she writes about? A seemingly innocent question, which has unexpected implications: cognitive, ethical, political. A reflection on them will throw much light on the historian’s craft and its contentious dialogue with contiguous disciplines – from anthropology to literary criticism – in the globalized world we live in.

Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
