Title of Symposium: Doing decentered history - the global in the local
The Holberg Prize Symposium 2010 was held in honour of Natalie Zemon Davis, Holberg Prize Laureate of 2010.
Decentered history is one of Holberg Prize Laureate Natalie Zemon Davis's main interests. In a long series of books, such as Fiction in the Archives (1987), Women on the Margins (1995) and Trickster travels (2006) she has insisted on relational perspectives, a multiplicity of voices, and the foregrounding of otherwise silent or marginal actors.
Introductions by:
Jan Fridhtjof Bernt, Chair Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund
Ida Blom, Professor University of Bergen
Erling S. Sandmo, Professor University of Oslo
