Descriptif
This course examines the birth of modernity in the 19th century. We survey the main landmarks of this transformation in Europe, from the republican revolutions starting in the late 18th century until the advent of mass politics in the early 20th century. We also cover economic and environmental change, the transformations of urban and rural societies, the emergence of new intellectual and cultural sensitivities, and the status of the individual within society. Throughout the 12 sessions, the course also questions Eurocentric accounts of the nineteenth century, bringing in the processes of modernisation in Asia and the interactions between particular countries and peoples in Asia and Europe, touching mostly on the cases of Britain, China, France, India, Japan and Vietnam.
