How to illuminate the United States today through the prism of an event that America did not actually experience: the Black Death (peste noire) that struck Europe from 1347 to 1352.
\nWhen they arrived at Ellis Island on August 29, 1909, Sigmund Freud is supposed to have whispered in Carl Jung’s ear: “They don’t know that we are bringing them the Plague”. It is in this mysterious, and probably unfounded, quote that the research project led by historian Patrick Boucheron finds its source.<\/p>\n

Patrick Boucheron<\/strong><\/a> is a Professor and Chair of the History of Powers in Western Europe,\u00a0XII – XVI centuries<\/em> at the Coll\u00e8ge de France. He specializes in the Middle Ages, particularly in Italy. His work also concerns the writing of history and changes in the discipline. It was in this spirit that he wrote\u00a0Histoire mondiale de la France\u00a0(Seuil, 2017)<\/em>. As Villa Albertine’s resident in Chicago in February 2023, he will talk at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise about his latest project entitled “Plague in the USA” as part of the Marianne Midwest Series.<\/p>\n

Daisy Delogu<\/strong><\/a> is an eminent specialist in medieval French literature and a professor at the University of Chicago. In her work, she seeks to reveal the complexity of thought and sophistication of literary practices found in the vernacular texts of the Middle Ages, a period often mischaracterized as violent or backward.<\/p>\n
