220165 Methods and Approaches in Global History (S) (SoSe 2024)

Contents, comment

This course provides students with a toolkit of methods and approaches in global history, covering the 18th-20th centuries. We will discuss a series of thematic questions in the field, via foundational and field-defining texts from global history as well as modern US American, Caribbean, Latin American, Middle Eastern, South Asian, Southeast Asian, African, and European History. Students will also explore methodological questions in the study of global history that have animated recent historiographical debates, e.g. canonical vs vernacular sources, narrative style, microhistory, regional focus vs planetary scope etc. The role of interdisciplinarity in global history will be a recurring question, including explorations of area studies, literary theory, Gender and Sexuality Studies, political theory, and economics. Students will identify research questions of their own interest, develop a research proposal and annotated bibliography, and by the end of the course, submit a research paper for their course examination.
