Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

What is global history? This lecture course will try to answer that question in three different ways. First, global history as an academic field itself has a history, it can be contexualized in the development of the historical sciences in the last few decades to discover what it aimed for, and what it aimed against. Second, global history can be defined by key theoretical concepts and methods that are usually employed in it. Third, and this will be the main part of the course, global history can be understood in action, i.e. by looking at case studies that illustrate different dimensions that are important to research in the field. Thematically, the examples will largely draw on the global history of capitalism.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Two short papers / essays (3-4 pages), one due at the half, one at the end of the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Both essays will be graded according to how good they demonstrate a critical understanding of the key points and ideas presented in the course.
If the essays differ in grade, the essay with the better grade counts 60%, the one with the worse grade 40% of the overall grade.

Prüfungsstoff

For the first essay, a task will be with a view on the development and key concepts of global history. Most likely it will involve a critical engagement with a pertinent paper generated by ChatGPT.

For the second essay, a choice of short historical sources will be given, each accompanied by a specific task which involves contextualizing and interpreting the source with a view on the case study part of the course.
