  • HIST 096 CM - The Amazon: From Cannibals to Rainforest Crunch

    From the time of the conquest, the outside world turned the Amazon into an imagined place to unleash their adventure fantasies about lost cities of gold and their fears about savage jungles and Indians. From a historical perspective, this course interrogates the creation of Amazonia from the nineteenth-century rubber boom to contemporary environmental campaigns. We analyze visual images, explorers’ accounts, ethnographies, novels, films, advertisements and environmental campaigns. The point is to understand how the Amazon and its people have been imagined externally and internally, and why certain narratives hold power in the Western world.

  • HIST 097 CM - Human Rights in Latin America: Testimonies

    The course evaluates testimonial literature, a cross between oral history and biography, as a historical source to locate subaltern voices usually excluded from the official documents used to write history. We debate the truths and validity of such sources and use interpretative tools such as theories on subjectivity, memory and discourse analysis for using testimonial literature as a historical source. We also look at how testimonies have been used as evidence in human rights commissions and translated into mass media for national and international audiences.

It employs a cultural approach to interrogate the processes of forming geopolitical distinctions in the twentieth century. While we examine classic cases of U.S. intervention in Latin America and Latin American cases of Anti-Americanism, the framework of transnational history provides a platform to examine hemispheric solidarities and exchanges through primary and secondary sources. Course themes include theories of development (modernization and dependency theories), human rights and Cold War politics, claims of imperialism and anti-Americanism as well as exchanges of popular culture and identities among the peoples and nations of the Americas.

  • HIST 103A CM - From Village to Empire: The History of the Roman Republic, 750-44BCE

    This course explores the history of Rome from its foundations as a small village in the middle of the 8th century BCE to its establishment as an imperial power over the Mediterranean world through the 1st century BCE. Rome’s expansion from a city-state to a world power and the social, political, and economic implications of this expansion will constitute the primary focus of the course. But we will also examine material culture, religion, social customs, sub-elites, and women, and the dynamics of cultural interaction in the ancient Mediterranean. Students will concentrate throughout the course on the primary evidence and the ways in which historians use literary and material sources to uncover different perspectives on the Roman past.

  • HIST 104 CM - Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages: 284 - 888 CE

    Described as Late Antiquity or the Early Middle Ages, the period from Constantine to Charlemagne (roughly 300 to 800 AD) represents an age of vibrant and dynamic cultural transition sometimes viewed as a crucible for the blending of Roman, barbarian and Christian cultural elements. Using the major primary sources and the standard modern accounts for the period, this course will examine the key categories in which cultural change presents itself to the historian-the movement of migrant peoples, the political development of “successor” states, the consolidation of diverse religious practices and the rise of the Catholic Church, material and social changes in urban society, reorientation of economy and land use, and the transmission of an intellectual culture through art and literature that was both heir to Classical tradition and aware of its own novelty.

  • HIST 107 CM - Reading Ancient and Medieval Historians

    Works surviving from the great historians of the ancient and medieval Mediterranean populate the imagination with impressions of distant worlds. But to what extent do these impressions depend on how authors chose to tailor past events to a contemporary political and social background? To what extent did the “great histories” interact with competing versions of the past? This course will address these and other questions by unpacking the famous Greek, Roman, and early-medieval historians and by considering how contemporary contexts shaped the writing of the past. This course offers a comparative cultural and literary approach to reading Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, Ammianus Marcellinus, Procopius, Gregory of Tours, and Bede. Continuities and differences in the historical portrayal of such themes as politics, violence, gender, and religion will receive particular attention.

  • HIST 108 CM - The Age of Cicero: Politics, Philosophy, and Culture at the End of the Roman Republic

    The life, works, and death of Cicero is in some ways iconic for the last stages of the Roman Republic. Cicero’s life spanned a period of intense political, social, and intellectual change that would inevitably lead to the rise of autocratic emperors. Sometimes a participant, and always an acute observer of affairs in Rome, Cicero provides us with a remarkably detailed picture of an ancient society in evolution. This course will follow, and question the nature of, the end of the Roman Republic through a close inspection of Cicero’s political speeches and court cases, letters to friends (and enemies), and moral and philosophical treatises.

Beginning with ancient forms of bound labor, it traces the growth of slavery in the Americas, built initially upon native slavery, but ultimately most successful with African workers. The course closely follows the rise of the transatlantic slave trade from Africa, which produced distinct and variable slave regimes in the Americas.

  • HIST 117 CM - Race and Ethnicity in Brazil

    This course examines the Brazilian national narrative of “racial democracy,” or the idea that Brazilian society is a “racial paradise,” lacking racial distinctions due to racial mixing. We examine dominant racial ideologies that preceded the idea of Brazil as a racial democracy, how racial democracy turned into a national project of the Vargas Era (1930-45), and challenges proposed by black intellectuals and indigenous groups. After 1945, the course addresses how ideas of racial democracy intersect with gender/sexuality, modernization policies, people excluded from the national mixed-race type, authoritarian rule, and popular culture. At the end of the course, students debate contemporary racially based policies such as Affirmative Action in Brazil.

This course will place that transformation within its historical context and as a lens to think about how work has changed in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will explore the role of policy and political ideology in shaping the growth of the service sector as well as academic and cultural depictions of office life. Looking at places such as Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Starbucks, the course also examines how these issues have affected the lives of ordinary people and the United States’ changing place in the world.

The course objective is to understand how a series of events in medieval history that shaped medieval culture led to the invention of a violent paradigm of Islamic-Christian relations intended to mask internal social and religious divisions, and continues to shape the rhetoric of cultural encounter that divides our world today.

How do border changes, nation-state formation, and the collapse and rise of empires trigger ethnic cleansing and genocide as occurred in the Ottoman Empire, the Second World War, and more recently in the post-Soviet conflicts in the former Yugoslavia? Lectures and discussions will delve into specific topics, such as the role of racism, anti-Semitism and biopolitics, the psychological responses of victims, the inclusion of rape as a genocidal war crime, the response of bystanders, perpetrator motivation, and trends in post-genocidal societies such as trials, memorialization and compensation.

  • HIST 158 CM - Japanese Empire: Korea, China, Taiwan, and Manchuria

    Following the Meiji Ishin (1868), Japan became an imperial power as it seized territories and resources in various parts of East Asia. By the start of the Pacific War in December 1941, Japan had become one of the largest imperial powers in Asia with its colonization of Taiwan and Korea, control of vast parts of southern China and establishment of the puppet regime of Manchukuo (Manchuria). This class looks at how Japan became an imperial power in East Asia and how this development impacted those affected by Japanese rule, including Korea,China, Taiwan, and Manchuria. In particular, the class seeks to trace why and how people in Korea, China, Taiwan, and Manchuria sought to forge new ideologies, customs, and practices to not only deal with Japanese imperialism, but also modernity.

  • HIST 159I CM - Islamic World: Travel/Encounter

    How does travel shape self-definitions and regional stereotypes? What can studying the history of travel and tourism tell us about the shift from early modern empires to colonial worlds and to the contemporary processes of globalization? This class is designed to help you explore and formulate answers to these questions by looking at how the region, which we commonly refer to as the “Middle East” and the “Islamic World,” came to be constructed historically through circuits of travel and cross-cultural encounters. We will investigate tensions inherent in the history of travel itself: between travel as pleasure, leisure, and a means for spiritual fulfillment vs. travel as a mode of conquest, a strategy for economic and political survival and an experience of alienation. Our over-arching goal will be to analyze how travel functions simultaneously as a means of identification with another culture and as a re-affirmation of cultural difference.

After a quick survey of South Asian history to locate gender, we will look at three specific problems areas: how the state and its legal system apportion power to women and men; how education works to produce different gender identities; and how in the arts the human body is differently used and interpreted, and experiences and emotions become gendered.

The course begins with a discussion of modernity in the West in which we clarify some historical landmarks and some interesting debates about the meanings and discourses of what we call ‘modernity.’ We then move on to South Asia and locate its different historical landmarks: educational transformation, nation-building, the emergence of new social classes, changes in gender relationships, industrial and technological growth and the discourses of modernity.
