Seminar
SoSe 22: Yet Another Frontier? The Making of the Sino-Russian Border
Alexandra Oberländer
Kommentar
This seminar will focus on working with primary sources. Approximately one half of the term we will read secondary literature about the borderland region in Russia’s Far East stretching along the Amur river and today’s Mongolia, China, North Korea towards the Sea of Japan. The seminar will cover the period from the late 17th century until roughly 1917/21. The readings will acquaint you with a very general overview of this region (from a Russian perspective, mostly). The seminar is not about covering the newest research questions for this particular region. Instead, the readings are supposed to provide you with some background information about the region, migration, railways, treatises, Buddhism or warlords. Around mid-June I expect you to write an essay about your method, your findings and your interpretation of one single primary source. Please prepare yourself to having your interpretations discussed in the seminar.
This is a reading and writing intensive course.
