RENDEZ VOUS CHEZ PATRICIA
This Sunday 9 December At 18h45
Our Guest of Honor:
W. Scott Haine
Historian. Author
Scott will speak of his new book "The Culture and Customs of France". He will also speak of his work on Paris Cafes ("The World of the Paris Café: Sociability among the French Working Class, 1789 - 1914.) and research that he is doing for a future book on Cafés.
Here's what's been written about "The Culture and Customs of France":The French are of perennial interest, for, among other things, their style, their cuisine and wine, and their cultural output. Culture and Customs of France is a thoroughly jam-packed narrative through the glories that France continues to offer the world... a boon for preparing country reports, a must-read for travelers, and perfect for culture studies. Chapters on the land, people, and history, religion, social customs, gender, family, and marriage, cinema and media, literature, food and fashion, architecture and art, and performing arts are current and pleasurable to read.
About Scott Haine. While a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin (where he received an M.A. and a Ph.D.), Scott was introduced to Social History. He became especially intrigued by the topic of cafés. It's an interest has remained a passion.
From Scott: "I had already been attuned to the importance of the café from taking Lynn Hunt's "Old Regime and Revolution" course at the University of California, Berkeley. I then went to the library and read some dazzling descriptions of French café life in the age of Jean Jaures and email Zola and was caught up in a passion to recover the words, gestures and deeds of café life "
You'll learn a lot about a Paris institution that you take for granted: the cafe. Highly entertaining!
This semester, Scott is a lecturer in European history at the College of San Mateo Study Abroad Program in London.
GREAT FOOD! International Cuisine. (Southern US, French or other European. Thai, lovingly prepared as always by Patricia). Free flowing wine.
