Sciences Po Lille is happy to welcome Professor Guy Spielmann from Georgetown University for a class on “Politics as Spectacle from Alcibiades to Volodymyr Zelenskiy”.

Guy Spielman’s major area of scholarship covers performing arts in the Early Modern Era, with a particular focus on stagecraft, fairground theater and commedia dell'arte.

His writings on this topic have appeared in a variety of journals—some forty papers to date—, including Revue d'Histoire littéraire de la France, Dix-Septième Siècle, Les Cahiers du Dix-Septième, Papers on Seventeenth-Century French Littérature, Littératures classiques, Texte, Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century, as well as in numerous anthologies.
