DESCRIPTION:IPLAI Visiting Scholar\, Professor Roger Chartier\, will\ngive 
 a public lecture on 'The Author's Hand: Literary Archives\,\nAuthorship\, 
 and Editing'.  All are welcome.\nProfessor Chartier is Directeur d'Etudes\
 , Ecole des hautes\netudes en sciences sociales\, Paris\, and Professeur\,
  College de\nFrance.\n'The Author's Hand'\nThe starting point of the refle
 ction is the first sentence that\ndefines the aim of the Deutsches Literat
 urarchiv Marbach: 'The\narchives aims to collect\, catalogue and process a
 ll kinds of\ndocuments connected with modern German literature (from 1750 
 up to\nthe present day)'. Why 1750?\nThe answer could be a very simple one
 : the modern literary\narchives collect and preserve documents that were n
 ot taken into\nconsideration by traditional archives previously. They save
  a\nprecious patrimony of modern records and papers that was ignored by\nn
 ational or regional archives and preserved instead by publishers\nor write
 rs. The date of 1750 remains intriguing\, however\, because\nit raises ano
 ther issue: would it have been possible to build\nliterary archives for ea
 rly modern times? Records of publishers and\nprinters of the first three c
 enturies after Gutenberg’s invention\nare really exceptional\, as are auth
 ors’ manuscripts. Why? And why\nsince the mid-eighteenth century were auth
 orial autograph\nmanuscripts kept and preserved? This fact makes evident t
 hat the\nconstitution of literary archives cannot be separated from the\nc
 onstruction of philosophical\, aesthetic and juridical categories\nthat de
 fined a new regime for the composition\, publication\, and\nappropriation 
 of texts. Such a fact has fundamental consequences:\nthe author’s hand bec
 ame the guarantee of the authenticity of his\nworks and forging autograph 
 manuscripts became an art of the time\;\nthe presence of abundant literary
  archives made more complex the\ndelimitation of the 'œuvre' itself and al
 lowed multiple textual\nmanipulations\, and\, finally\, the existence of l
 iterary archives and\nthe conceptual configuration that made them possible
  or necessary\nestablished a new relation relation between the author’s wo
 rk and\nthe writer’s life. The lecture would like to examine such issues\n
 that are decisive for editorial practices\, literary biography\, and\nthe 
 definition of 'literature' itself.\n
