Cahiers Parisiens/Parisian Notebooks publish selected papers drawn from the various advanced-level activities at the University of Chicago’s Center in Paris. Topics treated in each issue reflect the disciplinary diversity of conferences and lectures organized at the Center during a given academic year, such as "Forms of Empire," "Ekphrasis in the Age of Cervantes," and "Foucault: New Deployments." Papers are published in the language in which they were presented—primarily English or French, but also other languages as the occasions warrant. Papers not written in English are prefaced by an English summary.
