Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Writing global history has been based on as many concepts, frameworks, interests, and perspectives, on as many types of sources, and as many methods as other branches of historical writing such as - for instance - national political history, cultural history, or local history. Some major concerns, however, have been different in conceptualizing and writing global history. There are a number of more or less distinct "schools" of global history, built on competing concepts and practices of how to do global historical writing, and defined by their implicit or explicit relations with other branches and concepts of writing history. Different global historians have drawn on different methods, materials, and writing strategies as they created their histories.
This course is aimed at supporting students to become practicing global historians themselves. It aims to make them conversant with the above issues and debates, help them develop and make explicit their self-positioning in the field, and, above all, help them translate their principal interests into practical research and writing strategies.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Regular participation in the course is mandatory. Students must attend the first meeting. Students may miss one unit without explanation. If they miss more than one class, for whatever reason, they will have to submit substantial additional written work.

Grade Components:
- Collective work on Source-based Essays (including preparation of student’s own Source-based Essay, and discussion of Source-based Essays of all other students): 30%
- Source-based Essay: 50%
- Contribution to general class discussion: 20%

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

- Develop students' understanding of the varieties of the relationship between theory, methods, and sources in writing global history
- Develop students' capacity to work independently with sources, methods, and theories relevant in the field of global history; preparing them in this way in a very practical manner for the work on their thesis or other larger papers they will write.

Prüfungsstoff

This course consists of four, in part consecutive, in part parallel, components:
First, we will read a few texts which discuss theories, methods, and strategies of writing global history.
Second, we will read and discuss (extracts from) a few selected writings in global history. We will focus in particular on "dissecting" how these texts relate to, convey, or produce theory, and how this enterprise is connected with the selection, use and discussion of sources, and with other methods and strategies of writing history.
Third, we will work individually and as a group on preparing and designing the Source-based Essay (8 pages, double-spaced) which each student will write. This Essay is an experimental piece of writing on, with, and around one or two selected sources, and will probe those theories and methods in global history (i.e. not global studies in general) which the student wishes to use and develop. Students are invited to discover and use a source which is closely related to their prospective thesis in global history, or any other piece of writing in global history they plan to produce.
Fourth, we will discuss the Source-based Essays.
