Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This seminar problematizes traditional periodization of history into the long 19th and short 20th centuries. It examines how the interplay between industrialism and imperialism has driven the quest for raw materials (natural rubber), fossil fuels (oil and gas) and strategic metals (copper, cobalt) and colonialism from the mid-19th century to the present day.Further description of course objectives and methods will be provided in a week beginning 27 February 2023.
