WiSe 16/17: Global Lives (ebenfalls MA Global History)
Daniela Hacke
Comments
The term “Global Lives” carries a specific meaning in the scholarship of the early modern period. It stands for a specific approach to global history that focuses on the lives and experiences of individuals. Rather than pursuing a grand narrative, the biographical approach focuses on the specific, the singular, and the exceptional. Changes in global history between the sixteenth and the nineteenth century are thus traced by looking at the new forms of connections that individuals made across the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
In this course, we will interrogate the analytical value of a biographical approach by testing it based on the Global Lives of the emerging British Empire. Although the seminar focuses on the early modern period we will also be discussing examples from the nineteenth century.
