Abstract

The course concentrates on the global history of the first half of the 20th century. The focal point of the course is an analysis of the multifaceted transit from imperial political formations to nation-states. The course will examine many aspects of such a transit, from the purely political to the cultural and technological. The analysis of these aspects will problematise the very idea of a binary opposition between imperial "archaicism" and national/socialist/liberal modernity.
