Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

That colonialism was as much a sexual venture as it was a cultural, political or economic one is a significant and vital part of the story of European expansion. Whether based on consent or coercion, sexual relationships between colonizers and the colonized were instruments of cultural and demographic change as well as templates for the power relations that underscored foreign occupation. In particular, fears about the impact of inter-racial relationships on the legitimacy of European power in colonial settlements often led to panic about moral decay and degeneration, but these relationships could also be tolerated and even encouraged as the route to ‘assimilation’ and strategic alliance-building. Looking to the Spanish, Portuguese, French and British imperial experiences, we will explore the varied and often contradictory responses to what often became constructed as a ‘mixed-race problem’. We will consider the role played by concepts such as nationality, religion, social class and citizenship in forging attitudes towards ‘mixed-race’ communities. We will also look at some of the historiographical challenges and methodological problems faced by global historians when considering notions of ‘hybridity’ in European colonial environments.

Scope: 16th to 19th centuries: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas
