We carry out some of Galois's work in the setting of an arbitrary first-order
theory T. We replace the ambient algebraically closed field by a large model M
of T, replace fields by definably closed subsets of M, assume that T codes
finite sets, and obtain the fundamental duality of Galois theory matching
subgroups of the Galois group of L over F with intermediate extensions. This
exposition of a special case of Poizat's "Une th\'eorie de Galois imaginaire."
(1983) has the advantage of requiring almost no background beyond familiarity
with fields, polynomials, first-order formulae, and automorphisms.
