This course will familiarise students with theoretical key texts of Global History. The selection will include relevant text samples of the Enlightenment period, Marxist historical theory and Universal History, up to Postcolonial Theory and the New Global History. Thematically, it will cover embracing conceptions of historiography in their dialectic development, particularly the three steps that led to the current debates on Global History: from the Eurocentric views of the colonial period, over the challenges of decolonization, up to the claim of contemporary Global History to avoid the pitfalls of earlier European universalism.Didactics:
Special readings will be provided for every session of this course. Participants can reproduce the texts from these master copies. The group will be asked to read a set of common texts for every session and discuss them after a short presentation by one student. Students' participation during the discussion as well as presentations, comments, and short written contributions are expected. The course will partly be held in blocked units.Requirements:
1. For every session students will be asked to read texts and submit a short summary. Once during the semester every student will prepare a presentation of a topic and a written essay of .approximately 12.000 characters (5-6 pages).
2. Additionally each student is supposed to write individually a review of approximately 5.000 characters (2-3 pages) about one book selected from a list that will be handed out in the first meeting.
