Is America in the process of retreating from its traditional world leadership role?

Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of the West’s leading intellectuals, takes an informed and provocative look at the state of world politics today, in conversation with historian and author Simon Schama.

How are Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, and Sunni radical Islamism taking steps to assert power and influence?

And what are the ramifications of the steps they are taking to undermine the liberal values that have been a hallmark of Western civilization?

Join him for a clear-eyed look at the world stage, as he talks about his important new book, The Empire and the Five Kings: America's Abdication and the Fate of the World.

Drawing upon lessons from history and the eternal touchstones of human culture, Lévy reveals the stakes facing the West as America retreats from its leadership role, a process that did not begin with Donald Trump's presidency and is not likely to end with him. The cr

Institute of French Studies book presentation and discussion

“Where are you from?” is the question that black French people are asked the most, the question that pops up the most spontaneously in conversation. “Where are you from?” asks the friend of a friend at a party, the person next to you at a dinner, the colleague trying to make friends, the perfect stranger. At the age of 6, Isabelle discovered that she was black. She dreamed of playing Mary in the school nativity play. She would be Balthazar, the Wise Man from Africa. For this little girl raised in an affluent neighborhood of Paris, it was a shock.

In Trop noire pour être française, Isabelle Boni-Claverie tells her story, from Paris to Abidjan, from her private Catholic school to working in television. A black woman from a privileged social background, she nonetheless has to face the obvious: in France, class does not erase race. She weaves her story with her grandfather’s, an African man who became a magistrate of the French Rep

She is currently completing a book manuscript titled Tragic Opposition: Rights of Resistance on the Early Modern Stage, in which she locates a new genealogy of rights in early modern tragedy.

How does the king’s language become the mother tongue of a nation?  This talk will explore the cultural politics of the French language around 1540, examining the famous Edict of Villers-Cotterêts—the law issued by François I that codifies the langage maternel francoys as the exclusive language of justice in France—alongside the visual aesthetic of Fontainebleau and the phonetic spelling reforms of Jacques Peletier du Mans in order to understand how French becomes “naturalized” as a national idiom.

Katie Chenoweth is Assistant Professor of French at Princeton University.  Her research focuses on the history of books and other media, with a concentration on the sixteenth century.  Her first book, The Prosthetic Tongue: Printing Technology and the Rise of the French Language, is forthcoming in the Material Texts series with the University of Pennsylvania Press.  At Éditions du Seuil in Paris, Katie Chenoweth is the director of the Bibliothèque Derrida collection, which publishes the semin
