Daniel Beer won the prestigious Cundill Prize for History in 2017\, for his book The House of the Dead: Siberian Exile under the Tsars. This lunchtime seminar will take place on Wednesday 14 November in Arts 160 fro m 12:30-2:00. \n\nDr. Beer will discuss his new research project on “Civil Death\, Radical Protest and the Theatre of Punishment under Alexander II” . Here is his summary: “Staged before crowds in Russian towns and cities\, civil executions during the reign of Alexander II were punitive rituals t hat presaged a sentence of penal labour and lifelong exile in Siberia. Whe n at the civil executions of revolutionaries both convicts and spectators departed from the state’s script of public humiliation and orderly opprobr ium\, the staging of monarchical power proved liable to subversion. Revolu tionaries and their supporters gradually forced the state to retreat from the public performance of justice\, showcasing the diminishing symbolic au thority of autocracy.” Prof. Kristy Ironside (History and Classical Studie s) will be the moderator.\n\nAs we will be providing lunch\, and as the se ating is limited in Arts 160\, we ask those interested to RSVP to Shameem Mooradun (shameem.mooradun [at] mcgill.ca) no later than Friday 9 November .\n\n \n\nLater that same day\, at 5:00 p.m. Daniel Beer will deliver the annual Cundill Lecture in the faculty Club.
