| 275F.001 - How Japan Became Modern | Barshay | |
| Wed 2-4 204 Dwinelle | CCN: 39651 | |
|
How did modern Japan happen? This is an introductory survey of the historiography of that question. Reading a book (or a book +) per week, we will cover major, essential questions of the eight decades from the Meiji Ishin or Restoration of 1868 to the eve of world war in the 1930s. These will include the nature and course of the Restoration, political and ideological struggles of the Meiji era and subsequent incipient democratization; cultural transformations, including religious conversion and innovation and the emergence of new, even unprecedented literary forms; epochal shifts in economic structure and forms of everyday life; the formation of the Japanese empire and its impact on domestic society and politics. Course is open to graduate students in history and other fields of Japanese studies. Requirements will include a number of short reading reports and oral presentations, and a longer thematic final paper. The tentative list of readings includes (but is not limited to): Duus, The Abacus and the Sword; Fujitani, Splendid Monarchy; Fukuzawa, The Autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa; Gluck, Japan's Modern Myths; Gordon, Labor and Imperial Democracy in Prewar Japan, Irokawa, The Culture of the Meiji Period; Jansen, ed. The Emergence of Meiji Japan; Karatani, Origins of Modern Japanese Literature; Maeda, Text and the City; Metzler, Lever of Empire; Natsume Soseki, Kokoro; Nimura, The Ashio Riot; Scheiner, Christian Converts and Social Protest in Meiji Japan; Wilson, Patriots and Redeemers; Young, Japan's Total Empire. FOR THE FIRST COURSE MEETING, students are asked to read chapters 3-5 (by Jansen, Vlastos, and Iriye) of Marius Jansen (ed.), The Emergence of Meiji Japan (Cambridge University Press). The same essays can be found in the Cambridge History of Japan, volume 5. Students interested in enrolling should contact Andrew Barshay (abars@berkeley.edu) prior to the beginning of the semester. |

| 280F.001 - Early Chinese Manuscript Sources | Giele | |
| Tues 12-2 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39720 | |
|
Early Chinese Manuscripts have come into the focus of modern academic research only during the last fifty years or so, prompted by some spectacular finds especially during the 1970s. With the progress and improvement of Chinese archaeology these sources have become available to the general historian of Early China in ever greater numbers and in more and more easily accessible formats. At the same time, they are often hailed as putting us in a position of being able to rewrite large parts of early Chinese history. But is this really true? If it is, what exactly do these sources tell us and what don't they? If it is not, what are the pitfalls in using manuscript sources? The seminar first attempts to familiarize the participants with the terminology and cultural characteristics of early Chinese manuscripts. In a second step we will practice applying the proper methodologies in order to look for, read, and understand manuscripts. We will also try to obtain an overview of and discuss the topics that manuscript sources touch upon and where they might be able to supplement (or revamp?) formerly held views on early Chinese history. All this will be done on the basis of actually reading a selection of manuscripts (in transcription but with the help of photos and studies) mostly from the Qin and Han, but also from the preimperial periods. The course therefore requires at least one year of previous training in premodern Chinese. |

| NOTE NEW ROOM! Last meeting in 2231 Dwinelle is Jan. 28. | ||
| This research seminar will concern itself less with the history of Shanghai proper than with introducing students to various historiographical perspectives and to the assessment and use of a variety of materials (guide books, photographs, maps, novels, movies) produced in the Republican era to look at Shanghai from different angles and to expose the various fragments of the city each type of material offers. At stake here are issues of methodology and interpretation, as well as of historical narrative. During the course of the seminar, students will be expected to read first-hand materials, both in English and Chinese (if possible) -- Japanese, French & German materials are also welcome from students with a command of these languages --, and to think critically about their usage as historical sources. | ||

|
This course is not meant to cover the history of 20th century Europe. Its goal rather is to stimulate conversation on a series of provocative questions relating to the history of the continent in this period. Course readings touch upon following issues: Revolutionary era: 1917 and beyond Enemies of democracy and their programs Leninist and fascist "civilizations" Submersion of the world wars in European collective memory collaboration: "Victims" as collaborators. Collaborators as "democrats." Intellectuals and the Cold War The dynamics of decolonization The dialectics of German unity in a divided Europe Revolutionary era: 1989 and beyond Europe unified and divided: the Bosnian crisis Throughout the emphasis is on readability and new questions, rather than on panoramic view or systematic geographic and thematic coverage. Students will write one twenty page paper on a subject of their choice, as well as a number of short reviews. |
||
| 275B.002 - Early Modern Europe: Renaissance to Revolution | Sheehan | |

| 280B.001 - Europe in the Early Modern World | deVries | |
| Thurs 10-12 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39666 | |
|
This seminar will examine aspects of European history in the early modern period with a view to comparing them with other societies and placing them in the context of the larger early modern world. We will also consider to what extent such a concept – the early modern world – has value as an historical concept. Among the topics to be addressed are: ecological/climate history, household and family history, urban institutions, intercontinental trade and globalization, colonial empires, and the concept of the "great divergence." Readings will include (portions of): Alfred Crosby, Ecological Imperialism. The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900 Mary Hartman, The Household and the Making of History Katherine A. Lynch, Individuals, Families, and Communities in Europe, 1200-1800. The Urban Foundations of Western Society E. A. Wrigley, Continuity, Chance and Change.

Latin America |
||
| 280E.001 - Modern Mexico: Recent Work in Historiographical Perspective | Chowning | |
| Mon 2-4 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39717 | |
| Also listed as 285E.001 | ||
|
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 some of the "historiographical background" to the week's common reading. For example, when we read David Brading on the legacies of Bourbon progressivism and creole patriotism in the post-independence period, I will ask you to sample the work of the nineteenth-century conservative, Lucas Alaman, in some ways a direct progenitor of Brading's take on the Spanish legacy. "Historiography" will also be taken to mean books published in the 1960s or 1970s, such as Nora Hamilton’s interpretation of the Cardenas 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, because although students will be expected to rotate leading discussions, the professor will 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 write two 7-10 page papers on a historiographical question of their choosing. Ordinarily they will also lead the discussion the week that their chosen question comes up. Serious auditors (meaning, commitment to attend class regularly and participate in discussion) welcome. |

| Also listed as 285E.002 | ||
| Long neglected by scholars, the history of religion in Mexico since the sixteenth century has become a popular and contentious field of study. This readings seminar for Ph.D. students will explore recent approaches by scholars writing in English and Spanish. While the emphasis in this course is more on issues of local religion, visual culture, and spiritual geography than institutions and theology, the aim is to recognize and consider synoptic approaches, to ask not only "What is religion for?" but "How is religion experienced?"

Methodology |
||
| 283.001 - History and Literature | Henkin | |
| Wed 3-6 2227 Dwinelle | CCN: 39765 | |
| How have the oft-cited linguistic turn in historical studies and the historicist trend in literary studies unsettled the boundary between those two disciplines? What have historians learned from scholars in literature departments about reading texts? What assumptions, goals, and methodological protocols continue to distinguish the historian's approach to language, literature, and textuality? In this seminar we will read exemplary works of cultural-historical and literary-historical scholarship from the past three decades (dealing with various times and places, but with some emphasis on the history of the West) in an effort to explore these questions. | ||

National Socialism constituted a very eclectic ideology, i.e. it borrowed from many sources, trying to make its peculiar world view appealing for all parts of German society. One unique feature of the NS-Regime, however, was the belief that it was founded on alleged biological facts, especially the existence of human races which differed in value and had to be kept separate. This had profound consequences for National Socialist politics at home and abroad. The idea of racial superiority led to a cruel war of extermination and the Holocaust. It also helped to justify the discrimination and even murder of the sick and helpless. But what role did the German scientific community play in all of this? In the first half of the 20th century Germany was a bright center for biological, biochemical and medical research. How did those German scientists who were left unharmed by political and anti-Semitic purges after 1933 react to the new government’s scientific pretensions? How did they contribute to the justification or implementation of forced sterilization and murder? How did geneticists, anthropologists and biologists define or work with the notion of race and eugenics? Was this an episode of a monstrous deviation from ethical principles, or is there something about the life sciences that makes physicians or scientists susceptible to ideas like this? The course will approach these questions from a biographical, institutional and social perspective. It will discuss the newest research on the topic and try to assess the relevance of these problems for today's practice of medicine and science. |

|
This course invites graduate students to deepen their knowledge of the classic texts of post-1865 US historiography, as well as some of the field's leading-edge work. Rather than a systematic survey of post-Civil War history, the course aims to stimulate discussion of key questions in the field, and to illuminate the explanatory and descriptive power of various approaches and modes of analysis. The common readings for the course (see schedule, below) will be supplemented by individual reading assignments (TBA). Provisional Reading List (10/10/07) 1.

| 285D.001 - Private Lives and the Public Realm | Fass | |
| Mon 10-12 2303 Dwinelle | CCN: 39801 | |
| We will examine how matters relating to the private sphere have been connected to public life and how they have been invested with significance as having important public consequences. Among the subjects that students may consider researching are, among others, family relations, child life, sexuality, religion, vice, psychology and psychopathology. We begin the semester by reading together a number of significant and very different books in this area including Weber's Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Hartog's Man and Wife in America, Fass's Kidnapped, Laqueur's Solitary Sex, and Jenkins's Moral Panic. | ||
| 285D.002 - Politics, Economics, and Race | Einhorn | |
| Tues 2-4 2231 Dwinelle | CCN: 39804 | |
| This seminar is for students who want to write seminar papers about politics, economics, and/or race in U.S. history. Potential topics can center on government institutions, electoral politics, economic development, political cultures, and even ideological or intellectual questions with significant political implications. Studies can be national, local, or in between (i.e., about those pesky states). 19th-century topics are preferred, but not absolutely necessary; 18th- and 20th-century topics are also possible. Students who may be interested should discuss potential topics with the instructor as soon as possible. General reading will be limited, since most assigned reading will be from the relevant literatures for students' particular research projects, but we will frame a small "core" of common reading over the course of the semester, tailored around ways of thinking about the connections among student projects. | ||

| 200X.001 - The Bancroft Library Press Room Course: "The Hand Printed Book in its Historical Context | Koch | |
| F 1-5 Off Campus | ||
|
A one-semester, two-unit course open to both graduate and undergraduate students. There are no prerequisites but enrollment is by consent of the instructor and is limited to six students because of the small press room space. Interested students may email the instructor at pkoch@library.berkeley.edu and should attend the first class meeting. Under the guidance of the instructor, students examine and discuss original printed books from the Bancroft collections ranging in date from the 15th century to the present. Approximately one half of the class time is devoted to a study of the design and production of books from the hand press period. The course also presents a historical perspective on the various technologies involved in the production of printed books: type founding, paper making, binding, illustrations, and the evolution of the printing press itself. |
