    Nationalism in Latin America: The Regional History of a Global Concept (Stefan Rinke)

    The resurgence of nationalism in Latin American countries makes it necessary to carefully analyze its origins, stabilization, and transformations in the region. Our approach to this ideology, from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to understand the internal mechanisms of its practices and discourses that allow it to adapt to different periods of the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of nationalism, as well as its relationship with the construction of the nation-state and the formation of national identities, allows us to formulate a set of questions focused on different levels of exploration: the global, the transnational, and the national. With such a broad view and based on classic and current literature on nationalism, students will be able to understand how the power of an idea manages to mobilize Latin Americans in history and present. / El resurgimiento del nacionalismo en los países de América Latina hace necesario analizar con detenimiento sus orígenes, estabilización y transformaciones en la región. Nuestro acercamiento a esta ideología, en perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, busca comprender cuáles son los mecanismos internos de sus prácticas y discursos que le permiten adaptarse en diferentes períodos de los últimos doscientos años. El fenómeno del nacionalismo, así como su relación con la construcción del Estado-Nación y la formación de las identidades nacionales, permite formular un conjunto de preguntas centradas en diferentes niveles de exploración: el global, el transnacional y el nacional. Con una mirada de esta amplitud y basándonos en literatura clásica y actual sobre el nacionalismo los estudiantes puedan comprender cómo el poder de una idea logra movilizar a los latinoamericanos en la historia y en el presente.

    Ever since economic history began to live a life of its own in economics departments, it has grown increasingly divorced from the mainstream of the discipline of history. Whereas social-science methods, derived from serial sources such as censuses or vital statistics grounded in the likes of baptismal records, were widely used during the social-history boom of the 1960s, they increasingly fell into oblivion, used less and less in the wake of history’s cultural turn. Starting with an overview of various kinds of historiography for which demographic data and statistics serve as indispensable anchors, this seminar will familiarize students with the most common kinds of serial sources once widely used in social and economic history, as well as the methods through which they can be made usable. At the same time, however, the seminar focuses on such sources in historical settings beyond the North Atlantic, where they have been used less frequently, in part because their accuracy has typically inspired less confidence among historians. A significant part of the seminar therefore concentrates on (colonial) governmentality, or on the question of why and how such records were produced in the first place. Finally, we will ponder the implications and possibilities of digitization for the use of these sources, with a particular focus on mapping and Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS).

    The Global Narcotics Trade: From the Opium Wars to War on Drugs (Ned Richardson-Little)

     Marking the line between licit and illicit drugs has been a defining problem of global politics over the past two centuries. This course will cover the history of efforts to restrict and criminalized the international traffic in narcotics from the beginnings of prohibition in the 19th century to the ongoing global war on drugs in the present day. In exploring the history of narcotics, the course will focus on three main commodities that were deemed illicit and increasingly criminalized over the 20th century: opiates, cocaine and cannabis. Charting how these products became global commodities through European imperialism and the first wave of globalization, the seminar will look at how certain movements, major events and historical phenomena generated new forms of global flows (via pathways such as the Hippie Trail or the French Connection) and drives towards the curtailment of illicit trade (via international treaties at the League of Nations and the United Nations). Areas of focus will include campaigns for prohibition and criminalization, moral panics surrounding narcotics, race and migration, the impact of the collapse of empires and the Cold War, and the complex intermingling of state actors and illicit narcotics producers and traffickers. Finally, the course will consider the current state of narcotics trafficking networks, prohibitions regims and the recent movement towards drug decriminalization.

    Comments

    This MA seminar introduces the interconnected global history of family, law, and democracy in the ‘long’ twentieth century. It is organized jointly by Dr. Jana Tschurenev and Dr. Razak Khan for the research group Democractising the Family? Gender Equality, Parental Rights and Child Welfare in Contemporary Global History, with individual sessions being led by other research group members. The seminar introduces key concepts and debates around diverse and changing (post-)modern families across several legal, political and economic systems. This includes regional perspectives from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Eastern (Poland and East Germany) and Western Europe (West Germany, UK), and Latin America (Brazil). We will explore these diverse regions within a comparative history framework, and within shared global policy environments, constituted by inter- and supranational bodies (such as the UN, or the Council of Europe). The different case studies covered in the seminar will bring issues of colonialism, communism, liberalism, and legal pluralism into conversation. We will study how family law – especially the regulation of the relationships between parents and their children – evolved and became a site where issues around democracy, religious diversity, secularization, and gender equality were renegotiated. This place the institution of the family at the intersection of the realms of privacy, intimacy, care, and the wider public spheres of law, politics, and the state. Can we speak of tendencies towards the democratization of the family or, instead, of legalization and intensified regulation? The reading material will include primary and secondary literature from the diverse regions and introduce students to approaches from gender and sexuality studies, legal history and global intellectual history approaches. Students will gain insight from different regional specialists working under the shared theme of family, law, and democracy.

    Is development history? There are several ways to approach this question. In a world of slashed budgets and resurgent nationalism, it may be the case that generous funding for overseas development projects is an artifact of the past. Another interpretation might approach the question at a meta level, asking whether, since at least the Enlightenment, the history of human societies is also one in pursuit of incremental progress. This course aims to expose students to the history of development as a shifting set of ideas and practices in the twentieth century. It asks about the long history of development, tracing its forerunners in colonial societies through the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the postwar years, where it presents a key area for research in global contemporary history. The course explores how plans and projects were shaped by global “East–West” conflicts of the Cold War as well as the longer history of “North–South” conflicts in the decolonizing world. Students will explore the transnational circulation of different models for development, as well as look at the histories of their implementation on the ground. Exposure to a mix of perspectives from the literature will allow students to ask questions related to the status of different types of expertise, the socialization and training of experts, the role of gender in development, the pursuit of socialist, capitalist, and authoritarian paths to development in the postcolonial world, and the involvement of local actors. We will also explore the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, in creating benchmarks, administering projects, and carving out a “right to development.” This approach aims to provide students with an introduction to important debates and methods in the history of development and to cultivate a critical perspective on historical, as well as contemporary, practices of overseas assistance and engagement.

    In 80 Emotions Around the World? Emotions in Global History (Frederik Schröer)

    Location: A 184 Besprechungsraum (Koserstr. 20)
    

    Comments

    Emotions are a key dimension of human experience, deliberation, and action. Around the world and across history, humans have authored texts, produced artefacts, followed practices and built edifices that speak of and to the emotions. Love, hate, guilt or solidarity have shaped the course of history, from the fates of empires and nations to individual biographies. But are such emotions the same wherever and whenever the historian’s gaze travels? Does the shared condition of homo sapiens as homo (e)motus make feelings universal or historically and culturally contingent? How do English and European concepts of emotion and understandings of human feeling compare and relate to non-Western epistemologies and emotionologies, and what can we gain from an exploration of this diversity? This seminar introduces students to the history of emotions from a global perspective. Since its consolidation and institutionalisation in the early 2000s, the history of emotions has emerged as a vibrant field of historical and interdisciplinary inquiry into the diverse dimensions of human (and nonhuman) feeling. More recently, various scholars have worked to expand the study of emotions globally and to critique the Euro/Anglocentric origins of the field, thereby bringing it into dialogue with fields including area studies, postcolonial studies, and global history. Over the course of the semester, students will encounter foundational approaches and programmatic texts of the discipline. Building on these theoretical perspectives, the seminar will explore the historical and geographic diversity of human (and nonhuman) feelings and the impact of emotions on social and political history. Combining critical recent theoretical interventions with case studies from multiple regions, the seminar invites students to reflect critically on integrating the study of emotions into global history.

    Although it was controversial a decade ago, it is now widely recognized that Berlin's history is intertwined with German colonialism. However, the implications of this connection for our present are often overlooked. Recent debates have highlighted issues related to heritage, memory, and decolonial claims. In this seminar, we will explore this interconnectedness from various perspectives. Berlin has served many roles: it was a metropolis of a colonial empire from 1885 to 1914, the capital of colonial-revisionist regret, and a hub for anti-imperial activists. It also became a destination for "(post-)imperial migrants" to both parts of the city during the post-war period. Throughout this course, we will uncover the layers of Berlin's global entanglements since 1885. We will analyze the concepts of "memory" and "decoloniality." The city's places, objects, and both visible and invisible traces will serve as lenses through which we can address several questions: What defines a colonial metropolis? Is there a need to de-center our understanding of it? How persistent are the legacies of colonialism? Which social struggles and actors have brought colonial history into contemporary discussions? Finally, we will consider the complex relationships between migration, racism, and the colonial legacy.

    Hierarchies and Connections: A Global Social History of Modern Islamicate Societies (Soheb Niazi)
    Schedule: Mi 18:00-20:00 (Class starts on: 2025-04-16)
    Location: A 125 Übungsraum (Koserstr. 20)
    

    Comments

    Current mainstream accounts of Islamic history often portray early Islam with labels that predate modern sensibilities such as "medieval" or "conservative." However, modern Islamicate societies were complex and not merely "static" or "rigid." Our historical understanding of these societies significantly shapes the contemporary lens through which Islam is viewed as a religion and Muslims as a community of believers. Discourses of modernity and enlightenment in much of the Islamicate world have coincided with European colonial rule since the late eighteenth century. These discourses enabled historical actors to examine their own past but also develop visions for the future of their societies.
    
    This course will focus on two crucial aspects of Global Social History to inquire about the nature of modern Islamicate societies: Hierarchies and Connections. Islamicate empires were connected across vast geographies through the exchange of commodities and ideas. These connections remained dynamic in modern societies, where pre-modern networks continued to influence the flow of goods and ideas, not only within Islamicate regions but also in direct relation to Western and European societies. A social history of the Islamicate would encompass more than just a history of theology or religious ideas; it would examine aspects that reveal how both Muslims and non-Muslims in these societies lived and practiced their lives. Another focus of this course is to understand social hierarchy and stratification in modern Islamicate societies. While Islam has had a normative tradition that emphasizes musawat (equality), Muslim societies have historically exhibited multiple forms of hierarchy, whether in terms of class, gender, slavery, or caste which persisted across geographies, as well as in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

    This graduate seminar explores the history of cultural practices that have shaped socialization and education across human societies. We will investigate how children have been integrated into groups, tribes, and societies, looking at the diverse cultural processes used throughout history to weave them into the social fabric. The course will trace the evolution of social education tools, particularly in narrative forms—from myths and folklore to national historiography. It will survey how different social roles and norms have been assigned and maintained through various institutions, tools, and processes. Finally, we will discuss the consequences of challenging social norms to develop a comprehensive view of how education and socialization have continuously shaped societies as well as individuals.

    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.

    How did West German feminists understand their relationship to women in the 'Third World' and to migrant women in Germany? What was the significance of colonialism for the conceptualisation of sexual oppression and the reflection of female perpetration? And what conflicts were fought over the representation of minorities, differences between women and racism and exclusion within the women's movement? The seminar is dedicated to these questions and we will discuss case studies as well as contemporary theoretical and political texts. While it would be great if some of the participants could read German in order to enrich the discussion with examples based on German sources, the course can be attended without any knowledge of German.

    The ability to write academic texts is not simply a talent that we have or don't have. Academic writing can be learned. This is the optimistic and perhaps sobering premise of this course: Optimistic, because anyone can learn strategies and tools that will help them to meet the requirements of an academic text, both in terms of content and in terms of style. Sobering, because academic writing is not something you can just do once you have learned how to write. It is a skill that can and must be learnt and worked on continuously; a skill that develops over a lifetime of (writing). And: to achieve accomplished academic writing, we need to work intensively on every text we write. In this seminar, we will look at the challenges of academic writing as a work process, and we will look at different strategies and tools for working on the text in its different stages, paying attention to the particularities of writing in history. The topics covered will be based on the needs and writing experiences of the participants and will be finalised with them. Possible topics include finding and working with sources, organising sources and literature (e.g. literature management software), different stages of a writing project, paragraphing, guiding the reader through the text, feedback and text revision, time management, creating a helpful writing environment/routine, motivation and concentration, advantages and pitfalls of using AI in academic writing. The seminar will be workshop-style, with practical writing exercises and plenty of room for discussion and interaction between participants. The aim is for you to better understand academic writing as a process, to reflect on your writing behaviour and to improve your writing skills. Requirements for participation: Very regular and active participation, the latter includes the willingness to complete writing exercises in class or at home, discuss drafts of your work in class and to share your experiences with writing. Please choose a writing project you will work on during the seminar (e.g. a Hausarbeit from a different class).

    The political, social and cultural changes under the leadership of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) encompassed almost all areas of life of the people in China. They remain influential into the 21st century in sofar that almost the entire political elite in today's China experienced their formative years and youth under Mao's rule and grew up with the "cult" of his leadership. The roots of "Maoism", however, emerge long before the Mao era and “Maosim” itself continues to be an evolving concept to this day, not only in China, but globally and is at the same time an international phenomenon. So what did it mean to live in the years under Mao, to cope with everyday life and to grow up? How do people live with the memory, what traces remain in art and music? How did Mao thought evolve in political parties in Peru, India and Africa? In this seminar, we will deal comprehensively with the era, looking at it not only from the perspective of political history, but above all from the perspective of the people who experienced it within China and globally. Chinese texts will be read in translation, but also offered in the original, so that the course is open to all students, e.g. also from Global History.

    This seminar discusses the geographies of memory of one of the greatest global environmental disasters of the 20th century: the reactor accident at the Soviet nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986. Starting from the observation that the history of Chernobyl is generally told from a national perspective, which only does limited justice to the comprehensive consequences of the accident, this seminar tries to broaden the perspective. While the social, political and ecological consequences, especially for Ukraine, have been very well researched and are also well known to a wider public, the contamination of regions in Belorus and western Russia is often overlooked. The “question of guilt”, i.e. the question of responsibility, is also generally answered in national/colonial categories, despite the global nature of the catastrophe. This seminar aims to analyze this historiographical tradition in more detail. At the same time, it discusses the complex role of literature as a historical source and place of remembrance. This seminar will be reading-intense.

    Numerous contemporary observers believe that the Sino-U.S. relationship constitutes the — or at least one of the most important — relationships of our time. But to what extent is that really so, and what does it mean? This course provides a historical review of Sino-U.S. relations since the 19th century all the way up to the present. We will concentrate upon a series of sociopolitical, military, and cultural key events such as the Opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion, the Korean and the Vietnam wars, détente during the era of Mao and Nixon, Sino-American migration and mutual perceptions. We will also discuss major contentious debates in the field of Sino-U.S. history, notably in the area of diplomacy and migration. The goal of this course is to help students acquire and develop critical knowledge, queries, along with the ability to understand and assess the nature of Sino-U.S. relations today by way of historical analysis. Reading material includes Dong Wang, The United States and China: A History from the Eighteenth Century to the Present, 2nd Edition (2021)."

    The years after 1989 brought spectacular changes to the makeup of the European state system: German unification, the violent collapse of Yugoslavia, the dissolution of the Soviet Union (and Czechoslovakia), and the massive (eastern) expansion of the European Union from 12 (1986) to 28 (2013) member states. In the course of all these developments, many “unsettled” histories resurfaced. Not few of these – often traumatic – histories were not (or not allowed to be) discussed (too) openly (or only within close ideological confines) during the East-West polarisation and/or under socialist rule in the Eastern half of Europe. I think here first and foremost on: 1) the dimensions of the Holocaust as well as the civil wars and crimes during and after the Second World War, 2) the long-lasting colonial orientation of most Western European countries, and 3) the centuries-long (“non-national”) imperial social realities of Eastern, Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

    This MA seminar will address (often emotionalised) “returns” of long-marginalised/suppressed histories after 1989. Exemplary case studies will be used to examine how the above mentioned three historical fields were and are intertwined with existing ideological polarisations within European societies in East and West before as well as after 1989.

    Why are some countries rich and others poor? Since Adam Smith's classic study "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776), this question has puzzled economists for more than two centuries. The seminar explores the relationship between growth, trade and competition from three different perspectives. First, we look at the history of the idea of growth and how it has been conceptualised in different historical contexts. This includes the statistical epistemologies that allowed growth to be measured and compared at an aggregate level. Second, we discuss current controversies about the origins of growth, such as the debate on the "Great Divergence" between Europe and Asia or the colonial origins of growth inequalities ("Reversal of Fortunes"). Finally, we will look at the specific social and environmental consequences of growth in the context of what has recently been termed the "Anthopocene". The course does not require any background in statistics or economics, but students will be expected to read and discuss research papers from economics and other social sciences.

    The resurgence of nationalism in Latin American countries makes it necessary to carefully analyze its origins, stabilization, and transformations in the region. Our approach to this ideology, from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to understand the internal mechanisms of its practices and discourses that allow it to adapt to different periods of the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of nationalism, as well as its relationship with the construction of the nation-state and the formation of national identities, allows us to formulate a set of questions focused on different levels of exploration: the global, the transnational, and the national. With such a broad view and based on classic and current literature on nationalism, students will be able to understand how the power of an idea manages to mobilize Latin Americans in history and present. / El resurgimiento del nacionalismo en los países de América Latina hace necesario analizar con detenimiento sus orígenes, estabilización y transformaciones en la región. Nuestro acercamiento a esta ideología, en perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, busca comprender cuáles son los mecanismos internos de sus prácticas y discursos que le permiten adaptarse en diferentes períodos de los últimos doscientos años. El fenómeno del nacionalismo, así como su relación con la construcción del Estado-Nación y la formación de las identidades nacionales, permite formular un conjunto de preguntas centradas en diferentes niveles de exploración: el global, el transnacional y el nacional. Con una mirada de esta amplitud y basándonos en literatura clásica y actual sobre el nacionalismo los estudiantes puedan comprender cómo el poder de una idea logra movilizar a los latinoamericanos en la historia y en el presente.

    Ever since economic history began to live a life of its own in economics departments, it has grown increasingly divorced from the mainstream of the discipline of history. Whereas social-science methods, derived from serial sources such as censuses or vital statistics grounded in the likes of baptismal records, were widely used during the social-history boom of the 1960s, they increasingly fell into oblivion, used less and less in the wake of history’s cultural turn. Starting with an overview of various kinds of historiography for which demographic data and statistics serve as indispensable anchors, this seminar will familiarize students with the most common kinds of serial sources once widely used in social and economic history, as well as the methods through which they can be made usable. At the same time, however, the seminar focuses on such sources in historical settings beyond the North Atlantic, where they have been used less frequently, in part because their accuracy has typically inspired less confidence among historians. A significant part of the seminar therefore concentrates on (colonial) governmentality, or on the question of why and how such records were produced in the first place. Finally, we will ponder the implications and possibilities of digitization for the use of these sources, with a particular focus on mapping and Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS).

     Marking the line between licit and illicit drugs has been a defining problem of global politics over the past two centuries. This course will cover the history of efforts to restrict and criminalized the international traffic in narcotics from the beginnings of prohibition in the 19th century to the ongoing global war on drugs in the present day. In exploring the history of narcotics, the course will focus on three main commodities that were deemed illicit and increasingly criminalized over the 20th century: opiates, cocaine and cannabis. Charting how these products became global commodities through European imperialism and the first wave of globalization, the seminar will look at how certain movements, major events and historical phenomena generated new forms of global flows (via pathways such as the Hippie Trail or the French Connection) and drives towards the curtailment of illicit trade (via international treaties at the League of Nations and the United Nations). Areas of focus will include campaigns for prohibition and criminalization, moral panics surrounding narcotics, race and migration, the impact of the collapse of empires and the Cold War, and the complex intermingling of state actors and illicit narcotics producers and traffickers. Finally, the course will consider the current state of narcotics trafficking networks, prohibitions regims and the recent movement towards drug decriminalization.

    This MA seminar introduces the interconnected global history of family, law, and democracy in the ‘long’ twentieth century. It is organized jointly by Dr. Jana Tschurenev and Dr. Razak Khan for the research group Democractising the Family? Gender Equality, Parental Rights and Child Welfare in Contemporary Global History, with individual sessions being led by other research group members. The seminar introduces key concepts and debates around diverse and changing (post-)modern families across several legal, political and economic systems. This includes regional perspectives from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Eastern (Poland and East Germany) and Western Europe (West Germany, UK), and Latin America (Brazil). We will explore these diverse regions within a comparative history framework, and within shared global policy environments, constituted by inter- and supranational bodies (such as the UN, or the Council of Europe). The different case studies covered in the seminar will bring issues of colonialism, communism, liberalism, and legal pluralism into conversation. We will study how family law – especially the regulation of the relationships between parents and their children – evolved and became a site where issues around democracy, religious diversity, secularization, and gender equality were renegotiated. This place the institution of the family at the intersection of the realms of privacy, intimacy, care, and the wider public spheres of law, politics, and the state. Can we speak of tendencies towards the democratization of the family or, instead, of legalization and intensified regulation? The reading material will include primary and secondary literature from the diverse regions and introduce students to approaches from gender and sexuality studies, legal history and global intellectual history approaches. Students will gain insight from different regional specialists working under the shared theme of family, law, and democracy.

    Is development history? There are several ways to approach this question. In a world of slashed budgets and resurgent nationalism, it may be the case that generous funding for overseas development projects is an artifact of the past. Another interpretation might approach the question at a meta level, asking whether, since at least the Enlightenment, the history of human societies is also one in pursuit of incremental progress. This course aims to expose students to the history of development as a shifting set of ideas and practices in the twentieth century. It asks about the long history of development, tracing its forerunners in colonial societies through the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the postwar years, where it presents a key area for research in global contemporary history. The course explores how plans and projects were shaped by global “East–West” conflicts of the Cold War as well as the longer history of “North–South” conflicts in the decolonizing world. Students will explore the transnational circulation of different models for development, as well as look at the histories of their implementation on the ground. Exposure to a mix of perspectives from the literature will allow students to ask questions related to the status of different types of expertise, the socialization and training of experts, the role of gender in development, the pursuit of socialist, capitalist, and authoritarian paths to development in the postcolonial world, and the involvement of local actors. We will also explore the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, in creating benchmarks, administering projects, and carving out a “right to development.” This approach aims to provide students with an introduction to important debates and methods in the history of development and to cultivate a critical perspective on historical, as well as contemporary, practices of overseas assistance and engagement.

    In 80 Emotions Around the World? Emotions in Global History (Frederik Schröer)

    Location: A 184 Besprechungsraum (Koserstr. 20)

    Emotions are a key dimension of human experience, deliberation, and action. Around the world and across history, humans have authored texts, produced artefacts, followed practices and built edifices that speak of and to the emotions. Love, hate, guilt or solidarity have shaped the course of history, from the fates of empires and nations to individual biographies. But are such emotions the same wherever and whenever the historian’s gaze travels? Does the shared condition of homo sapiens as homo (e)motus make feelings universal or historically and culturally contingent? How do English and European concepts of emotion and understandings of human feeling compare and relate to non-Western epistemologies and emotionologies, and what can we gain from an exploration of this diversity? This seminar introduces students to the history of emotions from a global perspective. Since its consolidation and institutionalisation in the early 2000s, the history of emotions has emerged as a vibrant field of historical and interdisciplinary inquiry into the diverse dimensions of human (and nonhuman) feeling. More recently, various scholars have worked to expand the study of emotions globally and to critique the Euro/Anglocentric origins of the field, thereby bringing it into dialogue with fields including area studies, postcolonial studies, and global history. Over the course of the semester, students will encounter foundational approaches and programmatic texts of the discipline. Building on these theoretical perspectives, the seminar will explore the historical and geographic diversity of human (and nonhuman) feelings and the impact of emotions on social and political history. Combining critical recent theoretical interventions with case studies from multiple regions, the seminar invites students to reflect critically on integrating the study of emotions into global history.

    Although it was controversial a decade ago, it is now widely recognized that Berlin's history is intertwined with German colonialism. However, the implications of this connection for our present are often overlooked. Recent debates have highlighted issues related to heritage, memory, and decolonial claims. In this seminar, we will explore this interconnectedness from various perspectives. Berlin has served many roles: it was a metropolis of a colonial empire from 1885 to 1914, the capital of colonial-revisionist regret, and a hub for anti-imperial activists. It also became a destination for "(post-)imperial migrants" to both parts of the city during the post-war period. Throughout this course, we will uncover the layers of Berlin's global entanglements since 1885. We will analyze the concepts of "memory" and "decoloniality." The city's places, objects, and both visible and invisible traces will serve as lenses through which we can address several questions: What defines a colonial metropolis? Is there a need to de-center our understanding of it? How persistent are the legacies of colonialism? Which social struggles and actors have brought colonial history into contemporary discussions? Finally, we will consider the complex relationships between migration, racism, and the colonial legacy.

    Hierarchies and Connections: A Global Social History of Modern Islamicate Societies (Soheb Niazi)

    Current mainstream accounts of Islamic history often portray early Islam with labels that predate modern sensibilities such as "medieval" or "conservative." However, modern Islamicate societies were complex and not merely "static" or "rigid." Our historical understanding of these societies significantly shapes the contemporary lens through which Islam is viewed as a religion and Muslims as a community of believers. Discourses of modernity and enlightenment in much of the Islamicate world have coincided with European colonial rule since the late eighteenth century. These discourses enabled historical actors to examine their own past but also develop visions for the future of their societies.
    
    This course will focus on two crucial aspects of Global Social History to inquire about the nature of modern Islamicate societies: Hierarchies and Connections. Islamicate empires were connected across vast geographies through the exchange of commodities and ideas. These connections remained dynamic in modern societies, where pre-modern networks continued to influence the flow of goods and ideas, not only within Islamicate regions but also in direct relation to Western and European societies. A social history of the Islamicate would encompass more than just a history of theology or religious ideas; it would examine aspects that reveal how both Muslims and non-Muslims in these societies lived and practiced their lives. Another focus of this course is to understand social hierarchy and stratification in modern Islamicate societies. While Islam has had a normative tradition that emphasizes musawat (equality), Muslim societies have historically exhibited multiple forms of hierarchy, whether in terms of class, gender, slavery, or caste which persisted across geographies, as well as in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

    This graduate seminar explores the history of cultural practices that have shaped socialization and education across human societies. We will investigate how children have been integrated into groups, tribes, and societies, looking at the diverse cultural processes used throughout history to weave them into the social fabric. The course will trace the evolution of social education tools, particularly in narrative forms—from myths and folklore to national historiography. It will survey how different social roles and norms have been assigned and maintained through various institutions, tools, and processes. Finally, we will discuss the consequences of challenging social norms to develop a comprehensive view of how education and socialization have continuously shaped societies as well as individuals.

    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.

    How did West German feminists understand their relationship to women in the 'Third World' and to migrant women in Germany? What was the significance of colonialism for the conceptualisation of sexual oppression and the reflection of female perpetration? And what conflicts were fought over the representation of minorities, differences between women and racism and exclusion within the women's movement? The seminar is dedicated to these questions and we will discuss case studies as well as contemporary theoretical and political texts. While it would be great if some of the participants could read German in order to enrich the discussion with examples based on German sources, the course can be attended without any knowledge of German.

    The ability to write academic texts is not simply a talent that we have or don't have. Academic writing can be learned. This is the optimistic and perhaps sobering premise of this course: Optimistic, because anyone can learn strategies and tools that will help them to meet the requirements of an academic text, both in terms of content and in terms of style. Sobering, because academic writing is not something you can just do once you have learned how to write. It is a skill that can and must be learnt and worked on continuously; a skill that develops over a lifetime of (writing). And: to achieve accomplished academic writing, we need to work intensively on every text we write. In this seminar, we will look at the challenges of academic writing as a work process, and we will look at different strategies and tools for working on the text in its different stages, paying attention to the particularities of writing in history. The topics covered will be based on the needs and writing experiences of the participants and will be finalised with them. Possible topics include finding and working with sources, organising sources and literature (e.g. literature management software), different stages of a writing project, paragraphing, guiding the reader through the text, feedback and text revision, time management, creating a helpful writing environment/routine, motivation and concentration, advantages and pitfalls of using AI in academic writing. The seminar will be workshop-style, with practical writing exercises and plenty of room for discussion and interaction between participants. The aim is for you to better understand academic writing as a process, to reflect on your writing behaviour and to improve your writing skills. Requirements for participation: Very regular and active participation, the latter includes the willingness to complete writing exercises in class or at home, discuss drafts of your work in class and to share your experiences with writing. Please choose a writing project you will work on during the seminar (e.g. a Hausarbeit from a different class).

    The political, social and cultural changes under the leadership of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) encompassed almost all areas of life of the people in China. They remain influential into the 21st century in sofar that almost the entire political elite in today's China experienced their formative years and youth under Mao's rule and grew up with the "cult" of his leadership. The roots of "Maoism", however, emerge long before the Mao era and “Maosim” itself continues to be an evolving concept to this day, not only in China, but globally and is at the same time an international phenomenon. So what did it mean to live in the years under Mao, to cope with everyday life and to grow up? How do people live with the memory, what traces remain in art and music? How did Mao thought evolve in political parties in Peru, India and Africa? In this seminar, we will deal comprehensively with the era, looking at it not only from the perspective of political history, but above all from the perspective of the people who experienced it within China and globally. Chinese texts will be read in translation, but also offered in the original, so that the course is open to all students, e.g. also from Global History.

    This seminar discusses the geographies of memory of one of the greatest global environmental disasters of the 20th century: the reactor accident at the Soviet nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986. Starting from the observation that the history of Chernobyl is generally told from a national perspective, which only does limited justice to the comprehensive consequences of the accident, this seminar tries to broaden the perspective. While the social, political and ecological consequences, especially for Ukraine, have been very well researched and are also well known to a wider public, the contamination of regions in Belorus and western Russia is often overlooked. The “question of guilt”, i.e. the question of responsibility, is also generally answered in national/colonial categories, despite the global nature of the catastrophe. This seminar aims to analyze this historiographical tradition in more detail. At the same time, it discusses the complex role of literature as a historical source and place of remembrance. This seminar will be reading-intense.

    Numerous contemporary observers believe that the Sino-U.S. relationship constitutes the — or at least one of the most important — relationships of our time. But to what extent is that really so, and what does it mean? This course provides a historical review of Sino-U.S. relations since the 19th century all the way up to the present. We will concentrate upon a series of sociopolitical, military, and cultural key events such as the Opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion, the Korean and the Vietnam wars, détente during the era of Mao and Nixon, Sino-American migration and mutual perceptions. We will also discuss major contentious debates in the field of Sino-U.S. history, notably in the area of diplomacy and migration. The goal of this course is to help students acquire and develop critical knowledge, queries, along with the ability to understand and assess the nature of Sino-U.S. relations today by way of historical analysis.

    The years after 1989 brought spectacular changes to the makeup of the European state system: German unification, the violent collapse of Yugoslavia, the dissolution of the Soviet Union (and Czechoslovakia), and the massive (eastern) expansion of the European Union from 12 (1986) to 28 (2013) member states. In the course of all these developments, many “unsettled” histories resurfaced. Not few of these – often traumatic – histories were not (or not allowed to be) discussed (too) openly (or only within close ideological confines) during the East-West polarisation and/or under socialist rule in the Eastern half of Europe. I think here first and foremost on: 1) the dimensions of the Holocaust as well as the civil wars and crimes during and after the Second World War, 2) the long-lasting colonial orientation of most Western European countries, and 3) the centuries-long (“non-national”) imperial social realities of Eastern, Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

    This MA seminar will address (often emotionalised) “returns” of long-marginalised/suppressed histories after 1989. Exemplary case studies will be used to examine how the above mentioned three historical fields were and are intertwined with existing ideological polarisations within European societies in East and West before as well as after 1989.

    Comments

    Why are some countries rich and others poor? Since Adam Smith's classic study "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776), this question has puzzled economists for more than two centuries. The seminar explores the relationship between growth, trade and competition from three different perspectives. First, we look at the history of the idea of growth and how it has been conceptualised in different historical contexts. This includes the statistical epistemologies that allowed growth to be measured and compared at an aggregate level. Second, we discuss current controversies about the origins of growth, such as the debate on the "Great Divergence" between Europe and Asia or the colonial origins of growth inequalities ("Reversal of Fortunes"). Finally, we will look at the specific social and environmental consequences of growth in the context of what has recently been termed the "Anthopocene". The course does not require any background in statistics or economics, but students will be expected to read and discuss research papers from economics and other social sciences.

    Nationalism in Latin America: The Regional History of a Global Concept (Stefan Rinke)

    Comments

    The resurgence of nationalism in Latin American countries makes it necessary to carefully analyze its origins, stabilization, and transformations in the region. Our approach to this ideology, from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to understand the internal mechanisms of its practices and discourses that allow it to adapt to different periods of the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of nationalism, as well as its relationship with the construction of the nation-state and the formation of national identities, allows us to formulate a set of questions focused on different levels of exploration: the global, the transnational, and the national. With such a broad view and based on classic and current literature on nationalism, students will be able to understand how the power of an idea manages to mobilize Latin Americans in history and present. / El resurgimiento del nacionalismo en los países de América Latina hace necesario analizar con detenimiento sus orígenes, estabilización y transformaciones en la región. Nuestro acercamiento a esta ideología, en perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, busca comprender cuáles son los mecanismos internos de sus prácticas y discursos que le permiten adaptarse en diferentes períodos de los últimos doscientos años. El fenómeno del nacionalismo, así como su relación con la construcción del Estado-Nación y la formación de las identidades nacionales, permite formular un conjunto de preguntas centradas en diferentes niveles de exploración: el global, el transnacional y el nacional. Con una mirada de esta amplitud y basándonos en literatura clásica y actual sobre el nacionalismo los estudiantes puedan comprender cómo el poder de una idea logra movilizar a los latinoamericanos en la historia y en el presente.

    Hierarchies and Connections: A Global Social History of Modern Islamicate Societies (Soheb Niazi)
    Schedule: Mi 18:00-20:00 (Class starts on: 2025-04-16)
    Location: A 125 Übungsraum (Koserstr. 20)
    

    Comments

    Current mainstream accounts of Islamic history often portray early Islam with labels that predate modern sensibilities such as "medieval" or "conservative." However, modern Islamicate societies were complex and not merely "static" or "rigid." Our historical understanding of these societies significantly shapes the contemporary lens through which Islam is viewed as a religion and Muslims as a community of believers. Discourses of modernity and enlightenment in much of the Islamicate world have coincided with European colonial rule since the late eighteenth century. These discourses enabled historical actors to examine their own past but also develop visions for the future of their societies.
    
    This course will focus on two crucial aspects of Global Social History to inquire about the nature of modern Islamicate societies: Hierarchies and Connections. Islamicate empires were connected across vast geographies through the exchange of commodities and ideas. These connections remained dynamic in modern societies, where pre-modern networks continued to influence the flow of goods and ideas, not only within Islamicate regions but also in direct relation to Western and European societies. A social history of the Islamicate would encompass more than just a history of theology or religious ideas; it would examine aspects that reveal how both Muslims and non-Muslims in these societies lived and practiced their lives. Another focus of this course is to understand social hierarchy and stratification in modern Islamicate societies. While Islam has had a normative tradition that emphasizes musawat (equality), Muslim societies have historically exhibited multiple forms of hierarchy, whether in terms of class, gender, slavery, or caste which persisted across geographies, as well as in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

    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.

    What were the political and cultural repercussions of the spread of print culture in Egypt and Greater Syria in the thirteenth/nineteenth century? How did manuscripts and printed books circulate between the Ottoman Arab provinces, Istanbul, and Europe? In this course, we will examine the link between the circulation of books and developing ideas about Arab cultural heritage. We will consider the writings and practices of leading Arab authors, publishers, and editors as well as those of lesser-known book collectors and traders, with a focus on the inherently transregional and diachronic nature of the shift from a manuscript to a print culture. Additionally, we will examine the wider socio-political context of nineteenth-century book culture, including perceptions of that pivotal time in contemporary postcolonial debates and in the latest research into manuscript provenance.

    Like many other aspects of modernity in the Arab world, the history of Arabic print media has until recently been dominated by a narrative of “failure” or a “delay”–often attributed to alleged religious prohibitions–in catching up with Western technological and intellectual innovations. Recent scholarship, however, has shown that there is thin evidence to support such narrative and that it is largely based on Orientalist preconceptions. Yet the debate continues about the material and cultural conditions that shaped the historical development of printing in the Arab world and its impact on thought, religion, society, and politics.
    
    The aim of this seminar is to engage with these debates by providing an overview of the history of Arabic print media with a focus on the periodical press in the Levant and Egypt (ca. 1850-1950), including periodicals founded by their diaspora in Europe and Latin America. The seminar will cover several aspects from material production and economics of printing, through censorship and intellectual history, to social networks. Furthermore, it will be informed by theoretical discussions on the sociological and cultural effects of new print technologies and communication media.

    This MA seminar problematizes the expression “Salafiyya” that nowadays often serves as an umbrella term for various phenomena of modern Islam. Constructing an idealized Islamic history evolving around the pristine community of early Muslims (al-salaf al-salih) is not a phenomenon that did not develop until the 19th century. Historical spotlights will elucidate various aspects of the development of this framing. A wider historical perspective counterbalances the widespread focus if not fixation on the threat of political Salafism. The strong connection of Salafi topics and methods to the Hanbali School of law deserves particular attention but so do the (post)modern conditions of media society. Students have to take part in a final written test.

    The political, social and cultural changes under the leadership of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) encompassed almost all areas of life of the people in China. They remain influential into the 21st century in sofar that almost the entire political elite in today's China experienced their formative years and youth under Mao's rule and grew up with the "cult" of his leadership. The roots of "Maoism", however, emerge long before the Mao era and “Maosim” itself continues to be an evolving concept to this day, not only in China, but globally and is at the same time an international phenomenon. So what did it mean to live in the years under Mao, to cope with everyday life and to grow up? How do people live with the memory, what traces remain in art and music? How did Mao thought evolve in political parties in Peru, India and Africa? In this seminar, we will deal comprehensively with the era, looking at it not only from the perspective of political history, but above all from the perspective of the people who experienced it within China and globally. Chinese texts will be read in translation, but also offered in the original, so that the course is open to all students, e.g. also from Global History.

    Numerous contemporary observers believe that the Sino-U.S. relationship constitutes the — or at least one of the most important — relationships of our time. But to what extent is that really so, and what does it mean? This course provides a historical review of Sino-U.S. relations since the 19th century all the way up to the present. We will concentrate upon a series of sociopolitical, military, and cultural key events such as the Opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion, the Korean and the Vietnam wars, détente during the era of Mao and Nixon, Sino-American migration and mutual perceptions. We will also discuss major contentious debates in the field of Sino-U.S. history, notably in the area of diplomacy and migration. The goal of this course is to help students acquire and develop critical knowledge, queries, along with the ability to understand and assess the nature of Sino-U.S. relations today by way of historical analysis. Reading material includes Dong Wang, The United States and China: A History from the Eighteenth Century to the Present, 2nd Edition (2021)."

    The focus on the human body as an object of research has become a common part of historical research. In this class we will explore how bodies in the setting of colonial North America took on various meanings, how they were the site of social control, conflict and change, and how we can write a history of colonial bodies. Topics include (but are not restricted to) the history of medicine, sexuality and gender history, and the history of racism and slavery.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has been a reminder of the power of diseases have had over the lives of people for the past centuries. This seminar will concentrate on how concepts of health and disease have changed over time in Early America. We will examine how cultural, social and political institutions and norms shaped how people viewed diseases and what strategies they used to respond to them. Based on both primary and secondary reading, we will explore the interplay between cultural and social responses (and actors) and the ways in which knowledge was created about diseases.

    Nationalism in Latin America: The Regional History of a Global Concept (Stefan Rinke)

    The resurgence of nationalism in Latin American countries makes it necessary to carefully analyze its origins, stabilization, and transformations in the region. Our approach to this ideology, from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to understand the internal mechanisms of its practices and discourses that allow it to adapt to different periods of the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of nationalism, as well as its relationship with the construction of the nation-state and the formation of national identities, allows us to formulate a set of questions focused on different levels of exploration: the global, the transnational, and the national. With such a broad view and based on classic and current literature on nationalism, students will be able to understand how the power of an idea manages to mobilize Latin Americans in history and present. / El resurgimiento del nacionalismo en los países de América Latina hace necesario analizar con detenimiento sus orígenes, estabilización y transformaciones en la región. Nuestro acercamiento a esta ideología, en perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, busca comprender cuáles son los mecanismos internos de sus prácticas y discursos que le permiten adaptarse en diferentes períodos de los últimos doscientos años. El fenómeno del nacionalismo, así como su relación con la construcción del Estado-Nación y la formación de las identidades nacionales, permite formular un conjunto de preguntas centradas en diferentes niveles de exploración: el global, el transnacional y el nacional. Con una mirada de esta amplitud y basándonos en literatura clásica y actual sobre el nacionalismo los estudiantes puedan comprender cómo el poder de una idea logra movilizar a los latinoamericanos en la historia y en el presente.

    Ever since economic history began to live a life of its own in economics departments, it has grown increasingly divorced from the mainstream of the discipline of history. Whereas social-science methods, derived from serial sources such as censuses or vital statistics grounded in the likes of baptismal records, were widely used during the social-history boom of the 1960s, they increasingly fell into oblivion, used less and less in the wake of history’s cultural turn. Starting with an overview of various kinds of historiography for which demographic data and statistics serve as indispensable anchors, this seminar will familiarize students with the most common kinds of serial sources once widely used in social and economic history, as well as the methods through which they can be made usable. At the same time, however, the seminar focuses on such sources in historical settings beyond the North Atlantic, where they have been used less frequently, in part because their accuracy has typically inspired less confidence among historians. A significant part of the seminar therefore concentrates on (colonial) governmentality, or on the question of why and how such records were produced in the first place. Finally, we will ponder the implications and possibilities of digitization for the use of these sources, with a particular focus on mapping and Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS).

     Marking the line between licit and illicit drugs has been a defining problem of global politics over the past two centuries. This course will cover the history of efforts to restrict and criminalized the international traffic in narcotics from the beginnings of prohibition in the 19th century to the ongoing global war on drugs in the present day. In exploring the history of narcotics, the course will focus on three main commodities that were deemed illicit and increasingly criminalized over the 20th century: opiates, cocaine and cannabis. Charting how these products became global commodities through European imperialism and the first wave of globalization, the seminar will look at how certain movements, major events and historical phenomena generated new forms of global flows (via pathways such as the Hippie Trail or the French Connection) and drives towards the curtailment of illicit trade (via international treaties at the League of Nations and the United Nations). Areas of focus will include campaigns for prohibition and criminalization, moral panics surrounding narcotics, race and migration, the impact of the collapse of empires and the Cold War, and the complex intermingling of state actors and illicit narcotics producers and traffickers. Finally, the course will consider the current state of narcotics trafficking networks, prohibitions regims and the recent movement towards drug decriminalization.

    Is development history? There are several ways to approach this question. In a world of slashed budgets and resurgent nationalism, it may be the case that generous funding for overseas development projects is an artifact of the past. Another interpretation might approach the question at a meta level, asking whether, since at least the Enlightenment, the history of human societies is also one in pursuit of incremental progress. This course aims to expose students to the history of development as a shifting set of ideas and practices in the twentieth century. It asks about the long history of development, tracing its forerunners in colonial societies through the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the postwar years, where it presents a key area for research in global contemporary history. The course explores how plans and projects were shaped by global “East–West” conflicts of the Cold War as well as the longer history of “North–South” conflicts in the decolonizing world. Students will explore the transnational circulation of different models for development, as well as look at the histories of their implementation on the ground. Exposure to a mix of perspectives from the literature will allow students to ask questions related to the status of different types of expertise, the socialization and training of experts, the role of gender in development, the pursuit of socialist, capitalist, and authoritarian paths to development in the postcolonial world, and the involvement of local actors. We will also explore the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, in creating benchmarks, administering projects, and carving out a “right to development.” This approach aims to provide students with an introduction to important debates and methods in the history of development and to cultivate a critical perspective on historical, as well as contemporary, practices of overseas assistance and engagement.

    This graduate seminar explores the history of cultural practices that have shaped socialization and education across human societies. We will investigate how children have been integrated into groups, tribes, and societies, looking at the diverse cultural processes used throughout history to weave them into the social fabric. The course will trace the evolution of social education tools, particularly in narrative forms—from myths and folklore to national historiography. It will survey how different social roles and norms have been assigned and maintained through various institutions, tools, and processes. Finally, we will discuss the consequences of challenging social norms to develop a comprehensive view of how education and socialization have continuously shaped societies as well as individuals.

    The ability to write academic texts is not simply a talent that we have or don't have. Academic writing can be learned. This is the optimistic and perhaps sobering premise of this course: Optimistic, because anyone can learn strategies and tools that will help them to meet the requirements of an academic text, both in terms of content and in terms of style. Sobering, because academic writing is not something you can just do once you have learned how to write. It is a skill that can and must be learnt and worked on continuously; a skill that develops over a lifetime of (writing). And: to achieve accomplished academic writing, we need to work intensively on every text we write. In this seminar, we will look at the challenges of academic writing as a work process, and we will look at different strategies and tools for working on the text in its different stages, paying attention to the particularities of writing in history. The topics covered will be based on the needs and writing experiences of the participants and will be finalised with them. Possible topics include finding and working with sources, organising sources and literature (e.g. literature management software), different stages of a writing project, paragraphing, guiding the reader through the text, feedback and text revision, time management, creating a helpful writing environment/routine, motivation and concentration, advantages and pitfalls of using AI in academic writing. The seminar will be workshop-style, with practical writing exercises and plenty of room for discussion and interaction between participants. The aim is for you to better understand academic writing as a process, to reflect on your writing behaviour and to improve your writing skills. Requirements for participation: Very regular and active participation, the latter includes the willingness to complete writing exercises in class or at home, discuss drafts of your work in class and to share your experiences with writing. Please choose a writing project you will work on during the seminar (e.g. a Hausarbeit from a different class).

    The focus on the human body as an object of research has become a common part of historical research. In this class we will explore how bodies in the setting of colonial North America took on various meanings, how they were the site of social control, conflict and change, and how we can write a history of colonial bodies. Topics include (but are not restricted to) the history of medicine, sexuality and gender history, and the history of racism and slavery.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has been a reminder of the power of diseases have had over the lives of people for the past centuries. This seminar will concentrate on how concepts of health and disease have changed over time in Early America. We will examine how cultural, social and political institutions and norms shaped how people viewed diseases and what strategies they used to respond to them. Based on both primary and secondary reading, we will explore the interplay between cultural and social responses (and actors) and the ways in which knowledge was created about diseases.

    Die Eroberungen Alexanders des Großen lösten vielfältige Migrationsphänomene aus, die den gesamten Mittelmeerraum grundlegend veränderten. Dabei handelte es sich nicht nur um die bekannte Einwanderung von Griechen in die Diadochenreiche, sondern auch um die Ansiedlung verschiedener Bevölkerungsgruppen, die unterschiedliche Motive hatten und in unterschiedlichen Kontexten stattfanden. In dieser Übung werden anhand ausgewählter schriftlicher Quellen, wie Inschriften, Papyri, aber auch literarischer Texte, Aspekte der Migration in der hellenistischen Welt beleuchtet.

    Der Kurs zielt darauf ab, anhand von exemplarischen monumentalen Inschriften aus unterschiedlichen Epochen (archaische Zeit bis Kaiserzeit) einen Überblick in die Geschichte des Kultes, Kultpraxis und der Heiligtümer der Göttin Aphrodite auf der Insel Zypern zu geben. Die Insel, die als mythischer Geburtsort der Göttin gilt, hat dank ihrer geographischen Position eine Schlüsselrolle als ‚Melting Pot‘ zwischen Kulturen des Westens und des Levante schon in der Antike gespielt. Besonderer Fokus wird auf die vielfältigen Formen der Interaktion zwischen den Herrschern der Insel in den verschiedenen Epochen der griechisch-römischen Antike (lokale Könige, Ptolemäer, römische Kaiser) und dem Heiligtum der zyprischen Aphrodite in Paphos als Ort der Materialisierung der Macht gelegt. Zugleich wird die Veranstaltung eine Einführung in die griechische Epigraphik und in die Benutzung der epigraphischen Corpora und Datenbanken bieten. Zur epigraphischen Praxis werden die Papierabdrücke des Archivs der Inscriptiones Graecae der Berlin Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften zur Verfügung gestellt. Genaue Literatur zu den jeweils behandelten Themen wird während der Lehrveranstaltung bekannt gegeben und ausführlich besprochen.

    Wer waren die VIPs im römischen Reich? Das Hauptseminar wirft einen Blick auf die politisch und gesellschaftlich führenden Gruppen in Rom und in den Provinzen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Angehörigen des Senatoren- und Ritterstandes und ihre soziale, ökonomische und familiäre Vernetzung. Exemplarisch sollen alte und neue Eliten der Kaiserzeit betrachtet, Aufstieg und Abstieg dokumentiert sowie Bedingungen für die Zugehörigkeit untersucht werden. Unter einem kulturwissenschaftlichen Blickwinkel analysiert das Seminar die sozialen Abgrenzungsmechanismen und das Selbstbild der Elite, aber auch ihr Wertegefüge und ihre Rezeption bis in die Gegenwart.

    „Ich schreibe nicht Geschichte, sondern zeichne Lebensbilder […], denn oft wirft ein geringfügiger Vorgang […] ein bezeichnenderes Licht auf einen Charakter als Schlachten mit Tausenden von Toten.“ (Plutarch, Alexander 1) Mit diesen Worten umreißt der griechische Philosoph und Verfasser von Kaiserbiographien Plutarch seine Motivation, sich auf Charakterstudien zu konzentrieren. Dieses Zitat soll zum Ausgangspunkt der Frage nach der Rolle und Aussagekraft der Kaiserbiographie in der römischen Literatur und Kultur dienen. In der Übung wird die Gattung der biographischen Geschichtsschreibung anhand einschlägiger Beispiele (Plutarch, Sueton, Historia Augusta u.a.) untersucht und der Umgang mit diesen Texten in der modernen Forschung thematisiert.

    Die Klöster des frühen Mittelalters waren nicht nur Orte religiöser Praxis, sondern auch Orte des Wissens. Frühmittelalterliche Mönche beschäftigten sich mit lateinischer Dichtung, Zeitrechnung, Recht, Naturwissenschaften und Medizin. Im Seminar untersuchen wir frühmittelalterliche Wissensordnungen anhand der in den Klöstern überlieferten Handschriften. Bibliothekskataloge, Handbücher und Enzyklopädien erlauben Einblicke in die Ordnung und Hierarchisierung von Wissen. Die Untersuchung ausgewählter Handschriften wird zeigen, wie frühmittelalterliche Gelehrte tradiertes Wissen auswählten, kompilierten und mit Blick auf neue Verwendungskontexte adaptierten. Die Übung bietet Studierenden gleichzeitig einen ersten Einstieg in die faszinierende Welt der handschriftlichen Überlieferung.

    The body has always been integrated into religious ideas and practices. This close connection will be examined in this master's seminar. Theological and philosophical conceptions of the body will be neglected and the following thematic focuses will be set instead: Body images and body practices in religions; the close connection between the body and religion via food or its abstinence (fasting); the view of the human body from the perspective of Christian anthropology (shame, mortality, purity, abstinence, fertility). The function and meaning of religion in self-testimonies of women and men in the early modern period as well as the visibility of religious affiliation through symbols worn on the body or specific clothing (hats, veils, pilgrimage signs, etc.).

    This MA seminar problematizes the expression “Salafiyya” that nowadays often serves as an umbrella term for various phenomena of modern Islam. Constructing an idealized Islamic history evolving around the pristine community of early Muslims (al-salaf al-salih) is not a phenomenon that did not develop until the 19th century. Historical spotlights will elucidate various aspects of the development of this framing. A wider historical perspective counterbalances the widespread focus if not fixation on the threat of political Salafism. The strong connection of Salafi topics and methods to the Hanbali School of law deserves particular attention but so do the (post)modern conditions of media society. Students have to take part in a final written test.

    Welche Faktoren zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs führten, wird in der Geschichtswissenschaft kontrovers diskutiert, wobei Fritz Fischers These vom „Griff nach der Weltmacht“ (1961) und Christopher Clarks These von den „Schlafwandlern“ (2012) auch eine breitere Öffentlichkeit erreichten. Die globalgeschichtliche Wende der Weltkriegsforschung hat ihrerseits die klassische Ursachenforschung erweitert. Das Hauptseminar erschließt Antagonismen und Kulturen der Mobilmachung, Praktiken der Beschwichtigung und Situationen der Eskalation im Vorfeld und am Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs. Dabei verfolgt es drei Ziele: Es untersucht, wie sich die Historiografie zum Kriegsausbruch bis in die Gegenwart entwickelt hat; es verortet die Schlüsselfrage der Kriegsschuld an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit; schließlich sondiert und erprobt es, welche Quellen und Fragestellungen sich für künftige Forschung der ersten Vorweltkriegszeit eignen.

    Dem NS-Regime galt jede Form des Geschlechtsnonkonformismus als verfolgungswürdig. Zum Feindbild wurden all jene, die nicht dem Ideal einer hierarchisch strukturierten Mann-Frau-Beziehung entsprachen. Neben den § 175 und 175a RStGB, die sich gegen homosexuelle Männer richteten,  dienten Paragraphen wie 360 (‚grober Unfug‘), 361 (‚Unzucht‘), 180 (‚Kuppelei‘), 183 (‚öffentliches Ärgernis‘) u.a.m. der Kriminalisierung nicht-konformen Verhaltens von Schwulen, Lesben und Trans*Personen. Ein „liederlicher Lebenswandel“ oder auch Verstöße gegen das „gesunde Volksempfinden“ konnten zu Vorbeugehaft bzw. zur Einweisung in Fürsorgeheime oder auch in psychiatrische Anstalten führen.
    
    Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Forschungsdebatten befasst sich das Seminar mit verschiedenen Verfolgungsstrategien des NS-Regimes sowie mit Texten, die die Denunziationsbereitschaft der Bevölkerung dokumentieren. Neben historiographischen Studien zur NS-Verfolgung queerer Menschen werden überlieferte Aktenbestände sowie aktivistisch motivierte Texte – teils aus der sogenannten grauen Literatur –  in den Blick genommen. Nicht zuletzt geht es um die Frage, welche Herausforderungen mit der insgesamt schwierigen Quellenlage und den verschiedenen Quellengattungen verbunden sind.

    Was haben die Geschichte des Seekriegsrechts, des Widerstandes gegen den Nationalsozialis-mus und die Deportation der griechischen Juden unter deutscher Besatzung miteinander zu tun? Scheinbar nichts, und doch laufen alle drei Geschichten an einem prominenten Ort zusammen: Dem Berliner Stadtschloss. Denn hier arbeitete der Völkerrechtler und spätere Widerständler Berthold Graf von Stauffenberg an einer Gesetzgebung, die 1942 zur Beschlagnahmung des griechischen Frachtschiffes „Tanaïs“ führte. Das Schiff wurde schließlich am 6. Juni 1944 von einem britischen U-Boot versenkt. Die Briten wussten nicht, dass sich die gesamte von den deutschen Besatzern deportierte jüdische Bevölkerung Kretas an Bord befand. Im Seminar wollen wir versuchen, diese scheinbar disparaten Fäden miteinander zu verbinden. Ziel ist ein performatives oder installatives Vermittlungsformat für die im Oktober 2025 eröffnende Ausstellung zum Thema „Wasser“ der Berlin University Alliance. Ausgehend vom Ort des Berliner Stadtschlosses werden wir uns ebenso mit der Wissenschafts- und Rechtsgeschichte im Nationalsozialismus befassen wie mit der Geschichte der Shoah in Griechenland, die in Deutschland bisher kaum öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erfahren hat. Zudem wollen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die nach wie vor stark heroisierende Historiografie über die Stauffenbergs werfen und uns mit Geschichten über Flucht und Vertreibung über das (Mittel-)Meer auseinandersetzen. Angeboten wird das Seminar in Zusammenarbeit mit Bastian Herbst, Kurator im Humboldt Labor der HU.

    The resurgence of nationalism in Latin American countries makes it necessary to carefully analyze its origins, stabilization, and transformations in the region. Our approach to this ideology, from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to understand the internal mechanisms of its practices and discourses that allow it to adapt to different periods of the last two hundred years. The phenomenon of nationalism, as well as its relationship with the construction of the nation-state and the formation of national identities, allows us to formulate a set of questions focused on different levels of exploration: the global, the transnational, and the national. With such a broad view and based on classic and current literature on nationalism, students will be able to understand how the power of an idea manages to mobilize Latin Americans in history and present. / El resurgimiento del nacionalismo en los países de América Latina hace necesario analizar con detenimiento sus orígenes, estabilización y transformaciones en la región. Nuestro acercamiento a esta ideología, en perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, busca comprender cuáles son los mecanismos internos de sus prácticas y discursos que le permiten adaptarse en diferentes períodos de los últimos doscientos años. El fenómeno del nacionalismo, así como su relación con la construcción del Estado-Nación y la formación de las identidades nacionales, permite formular un conjunto de preguntas centradas en diferentes niveles de exploración: el global, el transnacional y el nacional. Con una mirada de esta amplitud y basándonos en literatura clásica y actual sobre el nacionalismo los estudiantes puedan comprender cómo el poder de una idea logra movilizar a los latinoamericanos en la historia y en el presente.

    „Im Raume lesen wir die Zeit“ – die vom Osteuropahistoriker Karl Schlögel geprägte Formel meint, dass sich historische Prozesse in räumlichen Arrangements erkennen lassen: in Bauwerken, Städten, Infrastrukturen, Grenzanlagen. Fast immer spielen bei deren Entstehung sogenannte Geovisualisierungen eine Rolle, also Landkarten, Pläne, Grundrisse, aber auch Globen, Luftfotogra?en und in jüngster Zeit digitale Geoinformationssysteme. Als historische Quellen sind diese Medien deshalb interessant, weil sie die gesellschaftliche Wahrnehmung von Räumen zu einer bestimmten Zeit widerspiegeln, aber oftmals auch beein?usst haben, wie Räume konkret gestaltet wurden: ob im Kontext der kolonialen Konkurrenz des 19. Jahrhunderts, im Zuge der Grenzkon?ikte in Europa nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg oder bei der Vermittlung einer ökologischen Weltsicht seit den 1970er Jahren. Das wollen wir in der Übung anhand exemplarischer Geovisualisierungen des 19. bis 21.
    Jahrhunderts diskutieren. Wir werden methodische Zugri?e kennenlernen, der Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte solcher Medien, aber auch ihren Gestaltern und Nutzern auf die Spur zu kommen. Nicht zuletzt werden uns Geschichtskarten interessieren, also die raumbezogene Darstellung historischer Ereignisse und Prozesse. Angedacht ist zudem ein gemeinsamer Besuch der Kartenabteilung der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin und/oder der Dauerausstellung „Berliner Stadtmodelle“ des Senats.

    Wie zu kaum einer anderen Periode liegt zu der Weimarer Republik eine unüberschaubare Fülle von Autobiographien vor. Zeitgenossinnen und Zeitgenossenen von Heinrich Brüning bis Stefan Zweig, von Vicki Baum bis Carl Zuckmayer haben ihre Erinnerungen aufgezeichnet und damit das Bild der Nachwelt von den „goldenen zwanziger Jahren“ und dem Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus nachhaltig geprägt. In der Übung wollen wir uns diesen Quellenkorpus anhand ausgewählter Beispiele genauer ansehen und dabei nach übergreifenden Gemeinsamkeiten fragen. Welche Ereignisse, Themen, Bilder, Personen usw. tauchen über die einzelnen Werke hinweg auf? Welche Spuren haben die Erinnerungen in Geschichtswissenschaft und (Pop-)Kultur hinterlassen?

    Der Antisemitismus hat das Leben der Juden in Europa jahrhundertelang beeinträchtigt und führte letzten Endes zum Holocaust. In diesem Seminar gehen wir dem Antisemitismus und der Akkulturation der Juden in West- und Osteuropa zwischen 1860 und 1922 auf den Grund. Wir werden die traditionelle Judenfeindschaft, die Entstehung des modernen Antisemitismus und die Reaktionen von Juden auf verschiedene Formen der Diskriminierung untersuchen. Dabei fragen wir uns: Wie wirkte sich die Politik nationaler Bewegungen und der Vielvölkerreiche, wie der Habsburger Monarchie, des deutschen Kaiserreiches und des Zarenreiches, auf den Antisemitismus und die Akkulturation aus? Haben die Haskala und der Chassidismus zur Entstehung verschiedener Antisemitismusformen in West- und Osteuropa beigetragen? Wie veränderte der Erste Weltkrieg, die Entstehung von Nationalstaaten und der Aufstieg faschistischer Bewegungen den Antisemitismus? Neben theoretischen Texten über den Antisemitismus, Emanzipation und Akkulturation werden wir die Formen und Funktionsweisen des Antisemitismus an konkreten Beispielen analysieren und geschichtsträchtige Orte wie die Neue Synagoge besuchen. Die TeilnehmerInnen werden Recherchen zu einzelnen Ländern, Regionen oder Städten Europas durchführen und die Ergebnisse in Referaten präsentieren. In den letzten Sitzungen tragen wir die Ergebnisse unserer Recherchen zusammen und stellen Bezug zur aktuellen, politischen Situation in Europa her.

    Ever since economic history began to live a life of its own in economics departments, it has grown increasingly divorced from the mainstream of the discipline of history. Whereas social-science methods, derived from serial sources such as censuses or vital statistics grounded in the likes of baptismal records, were widely used during the social-history boom of the 1960s, they increasingly fell into oblivion, used less and less in the wake of history’s cultural turn. Starting with an overview of various kinds of historiography for which demographic data and statistics serve as indispensable anchors, this seminar will familiarize students with the most common kinds of serial sources once widely used in social and economic history, as well as the methods through which they can be made usable. At the same time, however, the seminar focuses on such sources in historical settings beyond the North Atlantic, where they have been used less frequently, in part because their accuracy has typically inspired less confidence among historians. A significant part of the seminar therefore concentrates on (colonial) governmentality, or on the question of why and how such records were produced in the first place. Finally, we will ponder the implications and possibilities of digitization for the use of these sources, with a particular focus on mapping and Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS).

     Marking the line between licit and illicit drugs has been a defining problem of global politics over the past two centuries. This course will cover the history of efforts to restrict and criminalized the international traffic in narcotics from the beginnings of prohibition in the 19th century to the ongoing global war on drugs in the present day. In exploring the history of narcotics, the course will focus on three main commodities that were deemed illicit and increasingly criminalized over the 20th century: opiates, cocaine and cannabis. Charting how these products became global commodities through European imperialism and the first wave of globalization, the seminar will look at how certain movements, major events and historical phenomena generated new forms of global flows (via pathways such as the Hippie Trail or the French Connection) and drives towards the curtailment of illicit trade (via international treaties at the League of Nations and the United Nations). Areas of focus will include campaigns for prohibition and criminalization, moral panics surrounding narcotics, race and migration, the impact of the collapse of empires and the Cold War, and the complex intermingling of state actors and illicit narcotics producers and traffickers. Finally, the course will consider the current state of narcotics trafficking networks, prohibitions regims and the recent movement towards drug decriminalization.

    Is development history? There are several ways to approach this question. In a world of slashed budgets and resurgent nationalism, it may be the case that generous funding for overseas development projects is an artifact of the past. Another interpretation might approach the question at a meta level, asking whether, since at least the Enlightenment, the history of human societies is also one in pursuit of incremental progress. This course aims to expose students to the history of development as a shifting set of ideas and practices in the twentieth century. It asks about the long history of development, tracing its forerunners in colonial societies through the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the postwar years, where it presents a key area for research in global contemporary history. The course explores how plans and projects were shaped by global “East–West” conflicts of the Cold War as well as the longer history of “North–South” conflicts in the decolonizing world. Students will explore the transnational circulation of different models for development, as well as look at the histories of their implementation on the ground. Exposure to a mix of perspectives from the literature will allow students to ask questions related to the status of different types of expertise, the socialization and training of experts, the role of gender in development, the pursuit of socialist, capitalist, and authoritarian paths to development in the postcolonial world, and the involvement of local actors. We will also explore the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, in creating benchmarks, administering projects, and carving out a “right to development.” This approach aims to provide students with an introduction to important debates and methods in the history of development and to cultivate a critical perspective on historical, as well as contemporary, practices of overseas assistance and engagement.

    Hierarchies and Connections: A Global Social History of Modern Islamicate Societies (Soheb Niazi)

    Current mainstream accounts of Islamic history often portray early Islam with labels that predate modern sensibilities such as "medieval" or "conservative." However, modern Islamicate societies were complex and not merely "static" or "rigid." Our historical understanding of these societies significantly shapes the contemporary lens through which Islam is viewed as a religion and Muslims as a community of believers. Discourses of modernity and enlightenment in much of the Islamicate world have coincided with European colonial rule since the late eighteenth century. These discourses enabled historical actors to examine their own past but also develop visions for the future of their societies.
    
    This course will focus on two crucial aspects of Global Social History to inquire about the nature of modern Islamicate societies: Hierarchies and Connections. Islamicate empires were connected across vast geographies through the exchange of commodities and ideas. These connections remained dynamic in modern societies, where pre-modern networks continued to influence the flow of goods and ideas, not only within Islamicate regions but also in direct relation to Western and European societies. A social history of the Islamicate would encompass more than just a history of theology or religious ideas; it would examine aspects that reveal how both Muslims and non-Muslims in these societies lived and practiced their lives. Another focus of this course is to understand social hierarchy and stratification in modern Islamicate societies. While Islam has had a normative tradition that emphasizes musawat (equality), Muslim societies have historically exhibited multiple forms of hierarchy, whether in terms of class, gender, slavery, or caste which persisted across geographies, as well as in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

    This graduate seminar explores the history of cultural practices that have shaped socialization and education across human societies. We will investigate how children have been integrated into groups, tribes, and societies, looking at the diverse cultural processes used throughout history to weave them into the social fabric. The course will trace the evolution of social education tools, particularly in narrative forms—from myths and folklore to national historiography. It will survey how different social roles and norms have been assigned and maintained through various institutions, tools, and processes. Finally, we will discuss the consequences of challenging social norms to develop a comprehensive view of how education and socialization have continuously shaped societies as well as individuals.

    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.

    What were the political and cultural repercussions of the spread of print culture in Egypt and Greater Syria in the thirteenth/nineteenth century? How did manuscripts and printed books circulate between the Ottoman Arab provinces, Istanbul, and Europe? In this course, we will examine the link between the circulation of books and developing ideas about Arab cultural heritage. We will consider the writings and practices of leading Arab authors, publishers, and editors as well as those of lesser-known book collectors and traders, with a focus on the inherently transregional and diachronic nature of the shift from a manuscript to a print culture. Additionally, we will examine the wider socio-political context of nineteenth-century book culture, including perceptions of that pivotal time in contemporary postcolonial debates and in the latest research into manuscript provenance.

    Like many other aspects of modernity in the Arab world, the history of Arabic print media has until recently been dominated by a narrative of “failure” or a “delay”–often attributed to alleged religious prohibitions–in catching up with Western technological and intellectual innovations. Recent scholarship, however, has shown that there is thin evidence to support such narrative and that it is largely based on Orientalist preconceptions. Yet the debate continues about the material and cultural conditions that shaped the historical development of printing in the Arab world and its impact on thought, religion, society, and politics.
    
    The aim of this seminar is to engage with these debates by providing an overview of the history of Arabic print media with a focus on the periodical press in the Levant and Egypt (ca. 1850-1950), including periodicals founded by their diaspora in Europe and Latin America. The seminar will cover several aspects from material production and economics of printing, through censorship and intellectual history, to social networks. Furthermore, it will be informed by theoretical discussions on the sociological and cultural effects of new print technologies and communication media.

    This MA seminar problematizes the expression “Salafiyya” that nowadays often serves as an umbrella term for various phenomena of modern Islam. Constructing an idealized Islamic history evolving around the pristine community of early Muslims (al-salaf al-salih) is not a phenomenon that did not develop until the 19th century. Historical spotlights will elucidate various aspects of the development of this framing. A wider historical perspective counterbalances the widespread focus if not fixation on the threat of political Salafism. The strong connection of Salafi topics and methods to the Hanbali School of law deserves particular attention but so do the (post)modern conditions of media society. Students have to take part in a final written test.

    The political, social and cultural changes under the leadership of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) encompassed almost all areas of life of the people in China. They remain influential into the 21st century in sofar that almost the entire political elite in today's China experienced their formative years and youth under Mao's rule and grew up with the "cult" of his leadership. The roots of "Maoism", however, emerge long before the Mao era and “Maosim” itself continues to be an evolving concept to this day, not only in China, but globally and is at the same time an international phenomenon. So what did it mean to live in the years under Mao, to cope with everyday life and to grow up? How do people live with the memory, what traces remain in art and music? How did Mao thought evolve in political parties in Peru, India and Africa? In this seminar, we will deal comprehensively with the era, looking at it not only from the perspective of political history, but above all from the perspective of the people who experienced it within China and globally. Chinese texts will be read in translation, but also offered in the original, so that the course is open to all students, e.g. also from Global History.

    Numerous contemporary observers believe that the Sino-U.S. relationship constitutes the — or at least one of the most important — relationships of our time. But to what extent is that really so, and what does it mean? This course provides a historical review of Sino-U.S. relations since the 19th century all the way up to the present. We will concentrate upon a series of sociopolitical, military, and cultural key events such as the Opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion, the Korean and the Vietnam wars, détente during the era of Mao and Nixon, Sino-American migration and mutual perceptions. We will also discuss major contentious debates in the field of Sino-U.S. history, notably in the area of diplomacy and migration. The goal of this course is to help students acquire and develop critical knowledge, queries, along with the ability to understand and assess the nature of Sino-U.S. relations today by way of historical analysis.

This seminar will concentrate on how concepts of health and disease have changed over time in Early America. We will examine how cultural, social and political institutions and norms shaped how people viewed diseases and what strategies they used to respond to them. Based on both primary and secondary reading, we will explore the interplay between cultural and social responses (and actors) and the ways in which knowledge was created about diseases.

• Module 10: Internship

  0394bB2.5

  Qualifikationsziele:

  In diesem Modul werden Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Globalgeschichte praktisch erprobt und reflektiert. Durch den Abschluss eines Praktikums erwerben Teilnehmende des Moduls Kenntnisse im beruflichen Einsatz globalhistorischen Wissens in einschlägigen Institutionen, Organisationen und Unternehmen (vgl. § 3 Abs. 3), beispielsweise in einem Museum, im Kulturmanagement, der Politikberatung oder einer Public-History-Agentur.

  Inhalte:

  Dieses Modul konfrontiert Studentinnen und Studenten mit den Erfordernissen und Besonderheiten einer Anwendung globalgeschichtlichen Wissens in der Berufspraxis durch ein achtwöchiges Praktikum in einer selbstgewählten Institution. Dem Praktikum soll der Abschluss einer Vereinbarung zwischen der Studentin oder dem Studenten, den Studiengangsverantwortlichen und der Praktikumsstelle über die Rechte und Pflichten der Beteiligten während des Praktikums vorausgehen. Die Rückkopplung zwischen Praktikum und universitärer Ausbildung wird durch einen unbenoteten Abschlussbericht sichergestellt, der aus einer sachlichen Beschreibung der geleisteten Arbeiten sowie einer Reflexion über die Übertragung erlernten Forschungswissens auf praktische Zusammenhänge besteht.

    The ability to write academic texts is not simply a talent that we have or don't have. Academic writing can be learned. This is the optimistic and perhaps sobering premise of this course: Optimistic, because anyone can learn strategies and tools that will help them to meet the requirements of an academic text, both in terms of content and in terms of style. Sobering, because academic writing is not something you can just do once you have learned how to write. It is a skill that can and must be learnt and worked on continuously; a skill that develops over a lifetime of (writing). And: to achieve accomplished academic writing, we need to work intensively on every text we write. In this seminar, we will look at the challenges of academic writing as a work process, and we will look at different strategies and tools for working on the text in its different stages, paying attention to the particularities of writing in history. The topics covered will be based on the needs and writing experiences of the participants and will be finalised with them. Possible topics include finding and working with sources, organising sources and literature (e.g. literature management software), different stages of a writing project, paragraphing, guiding the reader through the text, feedback and text revision, time management, creating a helpful writing environment/routine, motivation and concentration, advantages and pitfalls of using AI in academic writing. The seminar will be workshop-style, with practical writing exercises and plenty of room for discussion and interaction between participants. The aim is for you to better understand academic writing as a process, to reflect on your writing behaviour and to improve your writing skills. Requirements for participation: Very regular and active participation, the latter includes the willingness to complete writing exercises in class or at home, discuss drafts of your work in class and to share your experiences with writing. Please choose a writing project you will work on during the seminar (e.g. a Hausarbeit from a different class).
