Its plot is that of a ‘novella’ inserted into Don Quixote, a work that circulated throughout the major countries of Europe, where it was translated and adapted for the theatre. In England, Cervantes’ novel was known and cited even before it was translated in 1612 and had inspired \u003ci\u003eCardenio\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut there is more at stake in this enigma. This was a time when, thanks mainly to the invention of the printing press, there was a proliferation of discourses. There was often a reaction when it was feared that this proliferation would become excessive, and many writings were weeded out. Not all were destined to survive, in particular plays for the theatre, which, in many cases, were never published. This genre, situated at the bottom of the literary hierarchy, was well suited to the existence of ephemeral works. However, if an author became famous, the desire for an archive of his works prompted the invention of textual relics, the restoration of remainders ruined by the passing of time or, in order to fill in the gaps, in some cases, even the fabrication of forgeries. Such was the fate of \u003ci\u003eCardenio\u003c\/i\u003e in the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRetracing the history of this play therefore leads one to wonder about the status, in the past, of works today judged to be canonical. In this book the reader will rediscover the malleability of texts, transformed as they were by translations and adaptations, their migrations from one genre to another, and their changing meanings constructed by their various publics. Thanks to Roger Chartier’s forensic skills, fresh light is cast upon the mystery of a play lacking a text but not an author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470232371436,"sku":"9780745661858","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745661858-cardenio-between-cervantes-and-shakespeare.jpg?v=1775214292"},{"product_id":"the-sociologist-and-the-historian-by-pierre-bourdieu-9780745679594","title":"The Sociologist and the Historian","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.

They examine the relevance of these ideas to the study of historical events and processes. They also discuss at length Bourdieu’s work on culture and aesthetics, including his work on Flaubert and Manet and his analyses of the formation of the literary and artistic fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReflecting on the differences between sociology and history, Bourdieu and Chartier observe that while history deals with the past, sociology is dealing with living subjects who are often confronted with discourses that speak about them. Therefore, it disrupts, disconcerts, and encounters resistance in ways that few other disciplines do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique dialogue between two great figures is a testimony to the richness of Bourdieu’s thought and its enduring relevance for the humanities and social sciences today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600381952236,"sku":"9780745679594","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27261ecdc3b217db5bb9bff005b1fc03.jpg?v=1778020477"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/roger-chartier.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
