Informations
Descriptif
Our focus this semester are historical texts and how they are put together. We examine both more popular works and professional writing. We do this because we should recognize no categorical distinction between popular or political history versus academic or scholarly (“factual”) history. Instead, we will explore the overlap and interplay between the two. The semester is broken into three parts: Primitive/Peasant, Humanitarian and Revolutionary narratives. Each part considers a type of historical discourse that has been instrumental in the ideologies underpinning the modern period. Our focus will be European and American perception and study of Australasia since the 19th century: Australia, India and China in particular.
