  • ERIC HAZAN - The Invention of Paris: A History Told in Footsteps

  • Apr 1, 2010 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description: ERIC HAZAN Founder-director of Editions La Fabrique; author of L’Invention de Paris; Chronique de la guerre civile; Changement de propriétaire: La guerre civile continueThe Invention of Paris: A History Told in FootstepsThe shape and spirit of Paris are largely determined by the way it has grown: in layers, with concentric walls. When the city gets too crowded for its population, the existing wall is dismantled and a new layer is created, with a new wall to protect it against invaders. This process explains why the city is so dense, and why the ancient layers and walls are still present on the map and in the public consciousness. The literature, the history of uprisings, and the images of the city depend on this very peculiar system of growth, still in operation today.
