Methods Intensive Master Class with Deborah Harkness: "History as Writing, Writing as History"

This lecture will explore the narrative, story-telling aspects of history and the historical requirements that every writer of fiction faces from a personal perspective. A discussion of further adaptations of historical and fictional work in other media (television, film, games, etc.) will probe the difficulties that can ensue when the historical elements familiar to writers are abandoned in favor of visual images.

About This Series

The Methods Intensive Master Class @ MPIWG is organized as part of the International Max Planck Research School “Knowledge and Its Resources.” The Master Class series offers a forum where participants from a spectrum of disciplines can critically compare, confront, and combine their specific methodological skills and training in scientific, practical, or humanistic analysis. It serves as a creative platform to explore agendas, discuss limits, and expand the cross-disciplinary boundaries of the history of science.
