Throughout, Chartier keeps his focus on historians who have stressed the relations between the products of discourse and social practices.
In Forms and Meanings, Chartier explores what effect changes in form will have on the way we come to know texts in the future, placing his projections within a larger historical perspective that spans from stone tablet to Guttenberg bible and beyond.
Exploring the role of translation in early modern literature, Roger Chartier examines how translators influence the meaning and significance of texts through their choices in language, aesthetics, and cultural context.

An artist's workshop serves as both a creative and educational space where ideas are transformed into tangible art forms. It functions as a classroom where skills are passed down, and apprentices strive to surpass their masters. Additionally, it acts as a salon where reputations are built, occasionally challenged by talented imitators or enthusiastic amateurs. Throughout history, Europe has been likened to a vast network of workshops, each fostering unique artistic practices and styles, facilitating collaboration among artists. Long before becoming a political entity, Europe was characterized by its vibrant exchange of goods and people. Artists, art enthusiasts, and affluent patrons undertook challenging journeys across roads and rivers to pursue beauty. This context is explored in the book, which delves into themes surrounding the circulation of art and the artistic community across a wide geographic area, including Dublin, Palermo, Cordoba, Stockholm, Rouen, and Sofia. Short essays highlight the movements of those involved in the art business, enhancing our understanding of the migration of artistic themes and motifs. Featuring 250 full-color examples from over one hundred European collections, the work showcases the intricate web of artistic exchange and production, accompanied by insightful essays from notable art historians that span from the fall of the Roman Empire to the emergence of Europe’s first major museums.
Kniha Na okraji útesu představuje soubor dvanácti esejů, ve kterých autor diskutuje či polemizuje se současným pojetím historiografie, především francouzské. Svá témata rozvíjí ve třech okruzích – zkoumání některých metod či konceptů, dále kritické vyrovnávání se s autoritami, jako jsou například Michel de Certeau, Michel Foucault, Louis Marin, a konečně konfrontace historie se sousedními disciplínami, zejména s geografií, sociologií, filozofií a literární vědou.
Les révolutions ont-elles des origines culturelles ? Ce livre en forme d’essai, tout en reconnaissant la dynamique propre de l’événement, s’attache à identifier les innovations et les ruptures qui l’ont rendu possible. Ce qu’il s’agit, avant tout, de comprendre, est le double paradoxe de la Révolution qui connaît le surgissement d’une violence multiple au sein d’une société pourtant largement pacifiée et qui achève un siècle soucieux des plaisirs et des devoirs de l’existence privée par un extraordinaire investissement dans la chose publique.
