Holberg International Memorial Prize
Holberg International Memorial Prize 2010: Natalie Zemon Davis
Natalie Zemon Davis, Professor at University of Toronto, is awarded Holberg International Memorial Prize 2010.
The Holberg Prize Interview:
"Over the years, my historical inquiry has ranged in space from early modern France and Western Europe to North Africa and the Caribbean and in theme from social and religious conflict to gift-giving, storytelling and festivity. But throughout I’ve especially sought the history of working people – artisans, peasants, and now slaves—and the history of women along with the men." Read more
Excerpt from the citation of the Holberg Prize Academic Committee:
Natalie Zemon Davis is one of the most creative historians writing today, an intellectual who is not hostage to any particular school of thought or politics. Her writing is richly textured, multi-faceted and meticulously documented. She shows how particular events can be narrated and analyzed so as to reveal deeper historical tendencies and underlying patterns of thought and action. Her work brings gender to the fore, while insisting that the relationship between men and women is always embedded in the cultural discourses and social organizations specific to their time.
