DESCRIPTION:Lisa Regazzoni will deliver a Brown Bag Lunch presentation on M
 onday\, March 28 at 12:15 pm. Her talk is entitled “How Can a Gathering of
  Things Be Transformed into a Scientific Collection? Experimenting with Re
 inhart Koselleck’s Material Estate.” Horse figurines made of textile\, woo
 d\, or glass from different regions of the world\, toy soldiers made of pe
 wter\, souvenir figurines—for example\, of Marx\, Atatürk or Mao—and much 
 more: this assortment of seemingly disparate things lay scattered for year
 s on the bookshelves and any free space in the study of Reinhart Koselleck
  (1923–2006). This lecture will give insight into approaches Regazzoni is 
 experimenting with to transform these objects into a scientific collection
  with epistemic value. How can new meanings be attributed to these objects
 \, beyond their auratic value\, which some might suspect of being the prod
 uct of a personality cult? What answers can these objects provide to speci
 fic research questions? Do they prompt new questions? What is the role of 
 material witnesses and\, more generally\, of the sensorial in accessing th
 e past?Lisa Regazzoni is a visiting fellow at BGC this spring. She is prof
 essor of theory of history at the University of Bielefeld. She studied phi
 losophy at the Universities of Bologna and Heidelberg and earned a PhD in 
 philosophy at the University of Potsdam in 2006. After several fellowships
  in Paris (Centre Alexandre Koyré\, German Historical Institute Paris\, Éc
 ole des hautes études en sciences sociales)\, in London (German Historical
  Institute)\, and Princeton (Institute for Advanced Study)\, she was appoi
 nted professor of modern history at Goethe University in Frankfurt in 2019
 . Her teaching and research interests include theory and history of histor
 iography from the early modern period\, scientific and academic collecting
 \, and the historical epistemology and methodology of history with particu
 lar attention to the knowledge potential of materiality and things of the 
 past. She addresses this topic in her most recent book Geschichtsdinge. Ga
 llische Vergangenheit und französische Geschichtsforschung im 18. und früh
 en 19. Jahrhundert (Things of History: Gallic Past and French Historical R
 esearch in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Century)\, which was publis
 hed in 2020.This event will be held via Zoom. A link will be circulated to
  registrants by 10 am on the day of the event. This event will be live wit
 h automatic captions.
