In the past two decades, “transnational history” has proliferated to such an extent that it is now almost impossible to avoid. However, not everything bearing the label “transnational” is equally deserving of it. In this course, we will discuss how attention to cross-border entanglements, dependencies, and circulations can add value to historical research and how such approaches may be practically and sensibly applied. Drawing on a mix of theoretical and empirical texts (many in English, mostly on 19th and 20th century history), we will examine definitions, uses, themes, and difficulties of transnational history.
This course is offered in English; however, reading knowledge of German is required. |
