Tame geometry and Hodge theory

Originating in Grothendieck's "Esquisse d'un programme", tame geometry has been developed by model theorists under the name "o-minimal structures". It studies structures where every definable set has a finite geometric complexity. It has for prototype real semi-algebraic geometry, but is much richer. After recalling its basic features, I will describe its recent applications to Hodge theory and period maps.
