220114 Key Concepts of the Americas: History and Society (K) (WiSe 2019/2020)
Contents, comment
-
In this course we discuss historical key concepts of the Americas. In an inter-American perspective we explore concepts such as race, ethnicity, conquest and colonization, indigeneity, colonial rule. The central aim is not to define a universal meaning, instead, we want to explore the different meanings a single concept may have in different historical, cultural, and regional contexts. In doing so, we analyze concept in regard to three inter-American movements: a.) Comparison: This refers to the description and analysis of the same topic in different, separated contexts. b.) Transfer: This refers to the flow of meaning and knowledge from one context into another. Here we are interested in the itineraries of the flows as well as in the adaption of a new meaning in a new context. c.) Entanglement: This refers to the mestizaje and hybridization of different meanings through interchanges.
