Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course serves as an introduction to research work in the field of global history. We will focus on the European 'discovery' of China and look into forms of interaction, agents in these processes, forms of presention of findings, and other aspects. A key element will be a hands-on demonstration by the instructor: the development of a conference paper (finding a topic, researching sources and secondary material, first draft, finished project). We will start by mapping the field via readings of a selected papers. Students will be introduced to a broad range resources providing access to sources documenting contacts/learnings in science, culture, economy and politics.
Readings will be mostly in English, however, we will work with (short) source materials in other languages (e.g. Latin, German).
Students will be expected to engage in continuous work throughout the course. This includes weekly reading and writing assignments. Writing assignments will involve short essays, abstracts, comments, reviews etc. In addition, students will write a short paper on a topic of their choice using primary sources retrieved from edited source material and/or online repositories. A draft for this paper has to be handed in in early December for peer feedback or feedback from the instructor (participant's choice). The key findings will be presented in an oral presentation in class. A revised version of the paper is due January 29.
