An LC student/facu lty collaboration\, the exhibit will be on display August 28-December 20\ , 2013 in the Watzek Library Atrium. Enlightenment homme de lettres extr aordinaire\, Diderot (1713-1784) was featured in the January 24\, 2013 Ne w York Times article\, Diderot\, An American Exemplar? Bien sûr\, (http: //www.nytimes.com/2013/01/25/opinion/diderot-an-american-exemplar-bien-su r.html?src=me&\;ref=general) as an "American exemplar" reminding us th at "thumbing one's nose at the establishment has been central to our own cultural and political traditions since\, well\, [his] time. After all\, that's how we became Americans in the first place." At the center of the exhibit\, the Encyclopédie's schematic tree of knowledge inspired by Bac on's own\, displays the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of kno wledge-making in the 18th-century. Branching out into the faculties of Me mory\, Reason\, and Imagination\, human understanding is featured as the subversive key to accessing\, critiquing\, and creating knowledge through the disciplines ramifying from these faculties – including philosophy\ , history\, and literary and creative arts. This collaborative project c omes to life in the heart of Lewis &\; Clark's liberal arts environmen t at Watzek. Our work emanates from\, and replicates\, the idea at the co re of our liberal arts institution: Knowledge-making is a collaborative u ndertaking that results from interdisciplinary endeavors and cross-refere ncing\, and a creative process that bears on the sciences as well as on t he humanities. Reflecting this idea\, the team draws on the expertise of the Library's Special Collections\, Associate Professor of French and Did erot scholar Isabelle C. DeMarte\, as well as Schuyler Adkins ('14\, Fren ch Studies / History)\, Sara Balsom ('14\, French Studies / English)\, Hi llary Kugler ('14\, Foreign Languages French/Spanish)\, and Brandon Stils on ('14\, Philosophy).
