Böcker av Roger Chartier

Neste livro, reunimos um conjunto de textos sobre história cultural e história da ciência. Focalizamos especificamente a história da autoria. As correlações históricas entre o nome do autor, a assinatura e a obra aparecem de muitas maneiras. Em diferentes momentos, a caracterização de autor científico e de um autor literário pode obedecer a distintos critérios de atribuição. Tal reflexão histórica ilumina a discussão na atualidade quando a produção intelectual e o campo editorial se inserem na sociedade da informação e se disseminam através de redes eletrônicas. No entanto, com todo o seu potencial inovador, as tecnologias e os meios digitais até o momento continuam coexistindo com os livros e as publicações impressas, instrumentos de leitura que se mostram insubstituíveis, apesar dos novos instrumentos fornecidos pela revolução tecnológica.

In Won in Translation Roger Chartier considers the mobility of the early modern text and the plurality of circulating versions of the same work. The agent for both is translation, for through their lexical, aesthetic, and cultural decisions, translators always assign new meaning or new status to what they translate.

In 1988, the renowned sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and the leading historian Roger Chartier met for a series of lively discussions that were broadcast on French public radio.

* This is a major new work from one of the world s leading historians of print culture and the book. * Chartier shows that, in the early history of the book, the roles played by the printer and the typesetter were just as important as the role played by the author: they were often invisible but they were crucial.

How should we read a text that does not exist, or present a play the manuscript of which is lost and the identity of whose author cannot be established for certain? Such is the enigma posed by Cardenio - a play performed in England for the first time in 1612 or 1613 and attributed forty years later to Shakespeare (and Fletcher).

In Forms and Meanings, Chartier explores what effect changes in form will have on the way we come to know texts in the future, placing his projections within a larger historical perspective that spans from stone tablet to Guttenberg bible and beyond.

Roger Chartier examines how authors transformed the material realities of writing or of publication into an aesthetic resource exploited for poetic, dramatic, or narrative ends.

Analyzes the causes of the French Revolution not simply by investigating its "cultural origins", but by pinpointing the conditions that "made it possible because conceivable".
