Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
What was modern in modernity? The reading course interprets modern history as an epoch of continuously producing and reproducing borders and boundaries. The very essence of modernity has been its self-distinction from earlier epochs; also, the period witnessed the creation of new kinds of geographic, political and legal spaces. The geographically sharply delimited territorial state was a typical product of modernity, drawing new boundaries between those having access to law and citizenship rights. Modern science consolidated itself by delimiting itself from religion and “pseudo-science,” and the modern sense of humanity consisted in its separation from nature. On the basis of empirical and theoretical literature, the course analyzes processes of making and unmaking borders and boundaries in modern politics, society, economy and science. It accompanies the lecture course on modern history and creates its own thematic emphases.
