DESCRIPTION: \n\nIn conjunction with the 2018 Cundill Prize celebrations\, 
 The Department of History and Classical Studies and the Department of Lang
 uages\, Literature and Cultures – Russian Studies are sponsoring an inform
 al lunch-time seminar by Dr Daniel Beer (Royal Holloway\, University of Lo
 ndon). 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. Stay tuned for further news!\n
