220142 Wirtschaft und Handel im globalen Vergleich: hellenistisches Vorderasien, Indien, China und Rom (3. Jh. v.Chr. ‒ 2. Jh. n.Chr.) (S) (WiSe 2021/2022)

Contents, comment

Die Zeit vom 5. Jh. v.Chr. bis zum 2. Jh. n.Chr. erlebte in zahlreichen Kernregionen Eurasiens einen beispiellosen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung, ablesbar an der signifikanten Zunahme der Bevölkerung, mehrerer Urbisierungswellen, technischer Innovationen sowie eines sich immer dichter verflechtenden Handels vom Mittelmeer bis in das Chinesische Meer. Das Seminar will die Grundlagen und wesentlichen Faktoren dieser Entwicklung vergleichend in China seit der Zeit der Streitenden Reiche bis zu den späteren Han, Indiens unter den Mauryas, den hellenistischen Großreichen und schließlich der römischen Repubik und frühen Kaiserzeit herausarbeiten. Dazu ist sehr viel kontextualisierende, meist englische Forschungslektüre notewendig, die selbstverständlich Im Seminar durchgesprochen wird. Die Quellen werden in der Regel in deutscher Übersetzung ausgehändigt.

Requirements for participation, required level

Gute passive englische Sprachkenntnisse zur Lektüre der Forschungsliteratur.
