Global Europe? A Contested History
Sarah Katherine Bellows-Blakely
Kommentar
When and where does Europe begin and end? How do historians tell stories about the meaning of European politics and culture in an increasingly global age and using global historical methodologies? In this discussion-based seminar, co-taught by Dr. Disha Karnad Jani and Dr. Sarah Bellows-Blakely, students will explore how very different Europeans understood their own identities: for example, as national citizens, imperial subjects, socialists, poets, suffragettes, soldiers, civilizers, wives, missionaries, businesspeople, fascists, and artists. We will explore how old states like England and France transformed into industrialized, imperial economies, and how newer states like Ireland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia, and the USSR came to be—and why some of them no longer exist. We will discuss how imperial expansion, trade, migration, technological change, and war changed the borders and physical spaces of Europe, and how these big changes affected people’s experience of their gender, race, and class. Entanglements between Europe and other parts of the world, sometimes violent and other times smooth, will animate many of the class discussions, as will close attention to the origins of historical narratives, archives, and methodology.
