This is a fully interdisciplinary programme, involving the Departments of English, History, History of Art, and Philosophy. It offers the opportunity for you to study the culture and cultural history of the period 1750-1850 from new perspectives, as well as to lay foundations for higher degrees within the various disciplines involved in the programme.
We do not assume that you have any prior knowledge of more than one discipline, or that you wish to abandon whatever discipline you pursued in your earlier studies. Our aim is to encourage you to develop a kind of intellectual curiosity that is open to different methods of inquiry, and interested in exploring many different aspects of the period.
We offer a choice of two core modules, each of which offers a distinctive and innovative portal into the eighteenth-century world.
Contents
This core module is in part concerned with the European encounter with cultures and societies in different regions of the world - notably the Americas, Africa, the Levant, India, China and the South Pacific - but it also seeks to challenge the metropole-periphery paradigm, and to attend to larger networks and circuits of peoples, goods, ideas, and identities.
The module incorporates a historical and methodological introduction to the idea of the global eighteenth century, along with sessions on (for example) 'Global Lives', eighteenth-century empires, theories of racial and social difference, and slaves and slavery; the material studied includes travel writing, missionary tracts, economic treatises, paintings and caricatures, poetry, and works of ethnography and natural history.
