		Chautauqua — that´s the only name that I can think of for it — like the traveling tent-show Chautauquas that used to move across America, […] an old-time series of popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve the mind and bring culture and enlightenment to the ears and thoughts of the hearer.
		The Chautauqua Movement became a major social and also political influence, and although the years of World War I interrupted the circuits somewhat, in the years between 1920 and 1924 Chautauquas reached their peak of attendances.
		One of the central aspects of Robert Pirsig´s Chautauquas in his novel is reconstructing and coming to terms with what used to be his personality before it was destroyed in an attempt to save him or cure him from insanity.
