- 12:00 PM1h'A Nearly Perfect Memory': The Theory, Practice, and Struggles of History in The Kingkiller Chronicle with Richard M. McGeeThe third fall event in the Center for Humanities Brown Bag series.While history and fantasy are normally seen as opposites, that does not preclude some fantasy series from containing allegories for how historians do their work. The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss is one such example. In tandem with Rothfuss’ works, McGee’s talk will philosophize on traits of academic history that are often subject to critical analysis by trained historians, including historiography and methodology, the concept of “objectivity” in study and research, the struggles of memory and oral history, narrative revisionism, and the difference between public and professional history.
