| This seminar will explore the relationship between religious practice and political power in the Greek world. Our examination will embrace multiple political contexts, including polis, koinon, empire, and (time and interest allowing) monarchy. The most developed approach to this issue is the polis religion model, which holds that religious practice in the Greek world was almost exclusively organized by and mediated through the polis. But this leaves many questions unanswered. Was it always so? How did religious practice relate to the process of state formation? Did religion play any part in the conflicts that are at the heart of Greek political history, or was its only social function to create a sense of solidarity and belonging? In the first part of the semester we shall take a careful and critical look at this and other current approaches to the issue by scholars of the ancient world, and look to recent work in anthropology and other related fields to explore new directions in which research on the topic might move. In the second part of the semester, students will devote themselves to a research project exploring the relationship between religion and politics through a selected case study informed by our critical engagement with the secondary scholarship. The seminar will conclude with presentation and discussion of students’ research projects, which will form the basis for the final paper. | ||
| 280A.002 - Topics in Antiquity: Slavery and the Economy in the Roman Empire | Elm | |
| Th 12-3p 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39810 | |
| Note new time! | ||
| This course will focus on recent scholarly debates regarding the practices of slavery in the Roman empire as part of debates of demography and the ancient economy. In addition, we will consider other forms of un-free labor and recent scholarly assessments of the role of the poor in the later empire. At issue will be a variety of methodological approaches to the phenomenon of slaver: in addition to those regarding the economy we will also examine literary critical and comparative anthropological approaches to Roman slavery. However, primary sources, including papyri, will play the central role. The aim is to gain as comprehensive a picture as possible of slavery and poverty in various geographic regions of the empire, as depicted by different types of sources, and as reflected in the historiographic tendencies underlying the scholarly approaches to the topic to address, finally, the question: what made religions praising self-enslavement to a god attractive and who was attracted? | ||

| M 10-12P 2231 Dwinelle | ||
| 280F.001 - CCN: 39861 285F.004 - CCN: 39927 | ||
| This seminar surveys the most important western-language scholarship on Vietnamese history. Class sessions will be organized around influential books, important questions and enduring debates within the field. Topics on the pre-modern era include the role Confucianism, Catholicism and regionalism within Vietnamese history and on the historical nature of Sino-Vietnamese relations. For the modern era, we will focus on the history of the colonial encounter, decolonization and the rise of communism and civil war. Among the scholars whose work we will read are: Alexander Woodside, Oliver Wolters, David Marr, Huynh Kim Khanh, Keith Taylor, Hue Tam Ho Tai, Milton Osborne, George Dutton, Liam Kelly, Jacob Ramsay, Shawn McHale, Christoph Giebel, Sophie Quinn-Judge, Patricia Pelley, Li Tana, Nola Cooke, Choi Byung Wook, Mark Mcleod, and Christopher Goscha. | ||
| 280F.002 - Balance of Justice :Law, Empire and Capitalism in the 19th century in Comparative perspective (drawing on Ottoman, Russian, French, English and German examples) | ||
| W 2-4 2519 Tolman | CCN: 39864 | |
| Note New Room. | ||
|
An emphasis on 'rule of law’, on law’s separateness and autonomy as well as universality upholding individual rights and freedoms, has been feature of capitalist market environments in the 19th century as well as in the 21st century. ‘The rule of law’ formulation is consistent with an European liberal understanding of separation of state and society and assigned law the task of safeguarding society or domain commodity exchange from state intervention. This emphasis largely serves to obscure, to borrow from Alain Supiot, the territorial inscriptions of law- that is, the character of law as governance, its character as an aspect of state power, of state sovereignty. In the context of European domination of non-European regions, this has led to the common misperception that European empire was a result of spreading law and extending territorial claims in an otherwise lawless lands. Europe’s rule of law was posed against ‘rule by law' elsewhere which was not really ‘law’ while sanctity ascribed to’ the rule of law ‘ sought to place market order it defined beyond contestation. This course challenges the common view that separates state power from law relegating ‘rule by law’ or governance to lawlessness. It will show that in the 19th century both in European empires and in the Ottoman as well as Russian empires, capitalist market environments- e.g. though formulations of property rights on land, rules of market transactions- were largely construed through state governing practices. Such practices- including administrative law or regulations and procedures of land and population registration- were often sites of violent confrontations encounters between the colonized and the colonizer, clashes among the winners and losers. As significantly, these practices were also sites in which each society -colonial or non-colonial- sought to achieve a ‘balance of justice’ through struggles of different groups or individuals and abilities of rulers to respond to their demands. These confrontations largely determined the trajectories of market development in different regions. Lastly, the course will focus on tensions between the courts and state administrations in the 18th and 19th centuries England, France as well as in the Ottoman empire and on the role of bureaucrats in mediating disputes between propertied and non-propertied groups as courts favored the propertied. |

| 285F.002 - Japanese Social Thought: Texts and Contexts | Barshay | |
| Tu 10-12P 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39921 | |
| This research seminar has three purposes: first, to provide an advanced introduction to the history social thought for graduate students working on modern Japan. To this end, we will begin by reading of a number of recent overviews. Second, the members of the seminar will work jointly on a number of short bibliographical and translation projects, in order to become familiar with research materials, methods, and styles of discourse in Japanese social thought and social science since Meiji. Finally, participants will formulate individual research projects centered the preparation of a translation and critical introduction to a key text in Japanese social science. It is understood that the identification of such a text requires full participation in the first two activities of the seminar. In addition to the research paper, participants will be asked to make regular oral presentations of common readings. | ||

| 275B.001 - Early Modern Europe | deVries | |
| W 10-12P 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39774 | |
| History 275B is the foundational course in the history of early modern Europe from roughly 1400 to 1800, or from the Renaissance through the French Revolution. Its multiple purposes include the following: to examine the major themes, trajectories, and methods of the discipline as they have evolved since the nineteenth century; to read and analyze some of the major classics and current texts in the fields; and to develop the skills of historical criticism, writing, and collaborative work. The course is open to majors and minors in early modern Europe and to graduate students in other fields of history and other disciplines as space allows. | ||
| 275B.002 - The Long Nineteenth Century | Frede | |
| W 2-4P 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39777 | |
|
This seminar introduces students to the historiography of the “long” nineteenth century, from 1789 to 1914. We will be reading classics that have shaped the field, as well as scholarship that reflects recent trends. Major themes will include the rise of the modern nation state, the impact of revolution and war, the transformation of social identities, and the tensions surrounding religious confession and secularization. Students will be asked to write weekly papers in response to the readings, no more than two pages in length. Students in Late Modern Europe and other fields will acquire the basic components needed to pass their oral exams. Those interested are encouraged to prepare for the course by reading one or more textbooks in European history prior to the beginning of the semester: R. R. Palmer and Joel Colton, A History of the Modern World; Gordon Craig, Europe 1815-1914; E. J. Hobsbawm, The Age of Revolution; Charles Breuning and Matthew Levinger, The Revolutionary Era: 1789-1850; Norman Rich, The Age of Nationalism: 1850-1890. |

| 280B.001 - Problems and Topics in Revolutionary France: 1750-1850 | Hesse | |
| M 5-7P 3104 Dwinelle | CCN: 39813 | |
| Profesor's Email Adress: chesse@berkeley.edu | ||
|
Course Description: Traditionally, the French Revolution has been studied as the last chapter in the history of the "Old Regime." After 1989 all this changed. The end of the Cold War has given rise to a new unit of French history, "Revolutionary France," spanning roughly from the Enlightenment through the Revolution of 1848. The purpose of this course is to give students an opportunity to develop foundational knowledge of this most turbulent of periods in French history. It will introduce participants to the major areas of research in this field--political history, social history, economic history, military history, colonialism, women's history, the history of religion and, not least, intellectual and cultural history. The aim is to achieve a solid understanding of the causes, course and consequences of the Revolution of 1789-99 and the successive regimes that followed: the Napoleonic empire, the Bourbon Restoration, and the Revolutions of 1830 and 1848. Students will have an opportunity to engage with the major traditions of interpretation of the revolutionary era, both classical and contemporary. Reading knowledge of French is preferred, but not required. Course Requirements: The emphasis of this course is on reading. However, along with energetic reading and discussion, participants will be required to give two seminar presentations and to write one (15-20 page) final paper. 285 option negotiable. |

| 280B.002 - German Jewry | Efron | |
| Tu 10-12p 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39816 | |
| Updated April 30, 2010 | ||
| Note new time. | ||
| This seminar is designed to introduce students to an intensive examination of the major themes and issues concerning the history of the Jews in Germany from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. German Jews made defining innovations in Jewish life while at the same time, they also contributed to general western culture to a degree disproportionate to their numbers. No other Jewish community has had such a profound effect on both Jewish and European civilizations concurrently. Among the topics to be explored are the debates over Jewish emancipation, the scholarly and religious life of German Jews, integration into and separation from the mainstream, German antisemitism and Jewish responses, economic transformations, communal organization and family life, Jewish culture in the Weimar Republic, life under Nazi rule, Jewish life in postwar Germany. | ||
| 280B.003 - The Great War: Crucible of the Twentieth Century | Anderson | |
| W 2-4P 3104 Dwinelle | CCN: 39819 | |
|
For George Kennan, World War I was "the seminal catastrophe of the Twentieth Century." For historians, it offers one of modern history's richest historiographies. It can be likened to a wheel, with spokes -- nationalism, total war, genocide, revolution, peacemaking, but also welfare-statism, sexual upheaval, decolonialization, and modernism, to name just a few -- reaching into the past and into the future. It has thus provided a rich field for innovative work by cultural and social historians as well as by their political, diplomatic, and military history colleagues. This seminar will conceive its subject broadly, with works mostly on European countries, but also touching on US and Ottoman history. It will offer the chance to read some classics (Paul Fussell's Great War and Modern Memory, for example) as well as some more recent and innovative work (e.g., John Horne and Alan Kramer's German Atrocities 1914. A History of Denial). We will discuss both the "subject matter" and (when relevant) the thesis of each book, but also (with an eye to our own craft) the techniques of the historian and the "genre" of the work. The work load will stress quality over quantity. My preferred mode, aimed at keeping discussions focussed, is to assign a single book each week. Nevertheless, on some weeks we shall supplement the book with a document, or one or more articles, and even perhaps an additional book, depending on the state of the literature. In addition to vigorous participation, seminar members will have three assignments, whose goals are to provide practice in reviewing, analysis, and pedagogy, respectively: 1) a five-sentence summary of each week's book, due at the meeting at which that book is discussed; 2) a short paper (no longer than 10-15 pages), due at the end of the semester, either analyzing and interpreting a single contemporary document/source of your own choosing, or summarizing and analyzing recent developments in a particular field or sub-field; 3) responsibility for leading one week's discussion (not to be confused with making a "presentation"). |

| 280B.004 - War and Peace in the Twentieth century | Adamthwaite | |
| W 10-12P 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39822 | |
| This seminar explores the debates about the key issues of war and peaemaking in the twentieth century, with an emphasis on Europe. Themes include the two world wars, civil conflicts, revolutions, empires old and new, international institutions. Requirements: 12-page paper; weekly book response. | ||
| 280B.005 - Europe’s Global Encounter: Ideologies, Environments, Identities, 1750-Present | Daughton | |
| M 2-4P 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39825 | |
|
This graduate seminar will explore how interactions between Europeans and the rest of the world redefined the political, racial, sexual, and religious boundaries of both Europe and its colonies and gave rise to the “globalized” society we live in today. By reading an array of recent and “classic” secondary texts, we will consider the motivations for and consequences of European political, economic, and cultural expansion across the late modern world. We will start by considering the ideological underpinnings and ecological contexts of imperialism. Then, we will move on to a collection of rich case studies that capture the dynamics of European interaction with the rest of the world, including issues related to colonial administration, the rule of law, science and medicine, the media and scandal, and religious politics. All the while, we will consider the theoretical and methodological challenges of writing colonial, transnational, and global histories. Disciplinary approaches include cultural, environmental, and intellectual history, as well as political science and anthropology. Some of the authors we will discuss include C. A. Bayly, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Nicholas Dirks, Gregory Mann, Mrinalini Sinha, Eric Jennings, J. R. McNeil, and Joan Scott. Students will be expected to participate vigorously in discussion, write one short review essay during the term, and complete a final project (either in the form of a historiographical review or a description of a proposed course, with syllabus and explanatory essay). |

Latin America |

| 275E.001 - Modern Latin America: Histories and Historiographies Healey | Healey | |
| W 4-6P 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39792 | |
| Note New Room. | ||
|
This seminar is an introduction to the major issues in the history of modern Latin America. It is intended both as a broad survey and as a solid beginning for future reading, thinking, and research. Organized broadly around the intertwined transformations of citizens, markets and states from 1800 to the present, this class will explore a range of works, from classics to recent landmarks. Our focus will be on how social history has changed our ways of thinking about Latin America’s past and modernity, revisiting older questions and exploring new frameworks. It is worth noting at the outset that we are taking a very inclusive definition of social history here, in keeping with the trajectory of the field in Latin America, where “the social” has included work that could also be classed as political, economic, labor, urban, intellectual, and more recently cultural and environmental history. Social history in Latin America has also been deeply engaged with politics from the beginning, perhaps in contrast with social history elsewhere -- although the terms and tools of that engagement have changed dramatically over time. Some themes addressed will include: the contested, erratic, surprising, and perhaps dependent history of Latin American capitalism; the contours and lineages of those frail Leviathans, Latin American states; the varied expressions of cultural nationalism; the central and shifting place of race in the making of citizens and nations; the environment as a key site, constraint, and even event in shaping historical outcomes; the theoretical challenge and empirical frustrations of gender as a category of analysis; and the promise and limits of transnational approaches to history. We will be particularly interested in current trends, the rise and fall of particular approaches, and a broad sense of where the most interesting recent work is being done. Assignments include two 5 page papers, one 10 page paper, and two sets of discussion questions. |

| 280E.002 - Recent Works on Modern Mexico in Historiographical Perspective | Chowning | |
| M 2-4P 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39858 | |
| The common reading in this course consists of recently-published books or articles that are either very good, representing current approaches to the period from independence to the 1970s, or newly-published books the professor would like to read (in the hopes that they, too, are good books). For most class sessions, there will be supplementary reading on reserve that will represent the some of the "historiographical background" to the week's common reading. "Historiography" means in part the classic works by Mexican and U.S. scholars from the nineteenth century through the 1950s. "Historiography" will also be taken to mean books published in the 1960s or 1970s, such as Nora Hamilton's interpretation of the Cárdenas period, quite different in approach from that of the newer works on Cardenismo. You will not be asked to read this material closely, just get a feel for it. The professor will generally pontificate for 20 minutes or so at the beginning of each class on the readings on reserve and on the general historiographical context into which the week's readings fit. The course is thus ideally suited to preparing an orals field in modern Mexico. Students will be expected to write two 7-10 page papers on a historiographical question of their choosing. They will also lead the discussion the week that their chosen question comes up. | ||

| 280B.006 - The Carolingian Reform | Koziol | |
| Tu 2-4P 3104 Dwinelle | CCN: 39828 | |
| In the name of a reform that was ecclesiastical, monastic, political, legal, and ethical, the Carolingians created the values of a distinctive European culture, its legacy still seen in everything from the lettering in which you are reading this to modern European Social Democracy. Only now are we beginning to understand just how thoroughgoing it was, and how much it transformed basic understandings of society and the individual. This course will examine a wide variety of recent scholarship on different aspects of the program, concentrating in particular on the ethical, and the way a single ethics connects all its various manifestations, including monasticism, lay religiosity, and political theory. Readings will include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, for example: Janet Nelson and Patrick Wormald, eds., Lay Intellectuals in the Carolingian World (2007); Yitzhak Hen’s Roman Barbarians (2007); Mayke de Jong, The Penitential State (2009) Dhuoda’s Handbook for William; Smaragdus’ commentary on the Benedictine Rule; the Astronomer’s Life of Louis the Pious; and a sampling of royal and episcopal capitularies, prayerbooks, and sermons. | ||
Methodology |
||
| 283.001 - Historical Method and Theory | Hollinger | |
| W 12-2P 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39891 | |
| This section of History 283 explores the relationship between a) the contemporary practice of historians and b) major theoretical issues in the human sciences. Recent examples of historical scholarship will be read and discussed with their authors-- members of the Berkeley Department of Historyalongside treatises that articulate the theoretical issues to which the scholarship is somehow connected, not necessary as an "application" but sometimes in an adversarial relation. Each week, a different Berkeley historian will be guest co-instructor of the seminar in a session devoted to the discussion of the guest's work and of related readings. | ||
Science |
||
| 275S.001 - History of Science | Mazzotti | |
| Tu 4-6P 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39804 | |
| This seminar will provide an advanced introduction to the study of science as a proper subject of historical inquiry. We shall read and discuss recent research in the history of science from the seventeenth century to the present, and thus critically engage with key themes and approaches in this field. Topics will include the scientific revolution, the Galileo affair, Enlightenment science, science and empire, science and democracy, the raise of technoscience. In particular, we shall pay attention to the ways in which historians and sociologists have reconstructed the complex interaction of science, technology, and society in the making of the modern world. | ||
| 280S.001 - Science in the U.S. | Carson | |
| Th 2-4P 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39885 | |
| This seminar engages students with the explosion of scholarship on the history of American science in its political, cultural, and social context. It looks for ways in which historians of U.S. science have contributed innovatively to the writing of history of science in general (e.g., “Big Science,” science and race), as well as approaches that have been revitalized by developments in related fields (colonial science, environmental history). It aims to provide a solid introduction to the field and highlight prospects for future innovative study. | ||
| 290.001 - Historical Colloquium: History of Science | Mazzotti | |
| M 4-6P 279 Dwinelle | CCN: 39939 | |
| This is a 1-credit S/U graduate course in history of science, accompanying the history of science colloquium and the brownbag series. It meets every Monday, 4-6 pm. Meetings consist of: invited lecture on a special topics, followed by an extended session of questions and answers; informal discussions over the work of affiliated scholars; and roundtable sessions on broader methodological issues in the history of science and technology. The course brings you up to the research front in these topics, interacting with historians on subjects that currently engage their scholarship. Attendance is compulsory. | ||

| Tu 2-4P 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39786 | |
| History 275D, Introduction to American Historiography, is a course intended for first-year graduate students in American History. The course is designed to introduce beginning graduate students to major works of scholarship, both old and new, in American history, ranging from the colonial period to the present. It is also meant to introduce students to Berkeley’s American history faculty, as various members of the department will visit the course to preside over discussions of texts within their field of specialization. The course meets weekly for a two-hour discussion of assigned readings; writing assignments will focus on review essays based on the assigned reading. | ||
| 280D.001 - The Ordinary and the Extraordinary: The Social and Cultural History of Nineteenth-Century America | Henkin | |
| W 2-4P 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39843 | |
| This course explores recent scholarship in the social and cultural history of the United States during a period associated with industrialization, class formation, urbanization, statebuilding, sectional conflict, the emergence of modern racial categories, new norms of family life, and westward expansion. We will pay particular attention to the relationship between scholarship that attends to changes in the repeated patterns of everyday life and works that emphasize the significance of dramatic events, spectacular productions, and singular life experiences. | ||
| 280S.001 - Science in the U.S. | Carson | |

| 285D.001 - Difference, Identity, and Power—The US From 1800-2000 | Martin | |
| W 2-4P 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39909 | |
| This seminar will allow students to pursue research projects in US History in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The guiding emphases are threefold and interrelated: (1) the development and impact of specific forms of difference (i.e., race, gender, sexuality, class, place/region); (2) how these differences come to be expressed as identities; and (3) the role of power in these various, at times overlapping, histories of difference and identity formation. I anticipate that research topics will range across social, intellectual, political, and cultural history. Interdisciplinary and research projects are encouraged. As an integral part of the seminar, we will discuss selected interpretive, theoretical, and methodological issues generated by a limited number of core readings, in part to be designed by the participants. Note: James W. Cook, et. al., eds., The Cultural Turn in US History, will be a principal core reading. | ||
| 285D.002 - Globalization and History | Sargent | |
| M 4-6P 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39912 | |
| What is globalization? How has it changed our world? And how should we write its history? This graduate research seminar asks how we might engage globalization as history? The seminar will focus on international history, but students who are grounded within national historiographical traditions will be welcome to think about how we might engage with the problem of globalization from local and national perspectives, including that of the United States. The first several weeks of this research seminar will be devoted to core methodological readings, but most the semester will be given over to independent research projects. | ||
