Аннотация

The course ‘Global History’ aims to introduce students to the complex dynamics of core transnational processes from the early 19th century to World War II. The discipline is devoted to a critical rethinking of modern history as a teleological journey from empires to nation-states whose pasts are confined to clearly delineated boundaries. The course focuses on the history of the interconnections and intertwining of various social, political, and cultural processes on a global scale, with particular emphasis on the diversity of regimes of imperial transformations, (de)colonizations, and postcolonial situations and contexts. Our goal is a critical examination of theories and approaches toward the analysis of transnational developments in the epoch. Looking beyond empires and nation-states, the course also seeks to shed light on alternative agencies of transformation, including global networks, organizations, and exchanges
