Аннотация
The course aims to introduce students to the complex dynamics of core global processes from the early 19th century to World War II. The discipline is devoted to a critical rethinking of modern history as a teleological journey from empires to nation-states whose pasts are confined to clearly delineated boundaries. The course focuses on the history of the interconnections and intertwining of various social, political, and cultural processes on a global scale, with particular emphasis on the diversity of regimes of imperial transformations, (de)colonizations, and postcolonial situations and contexts. Our goal is a critical examination of theories and approaches toward the analysis of transnational developments in the epoch. Looking beyond empires and nation-states, the course also seeks to shed light on alternative agencies of transformation, including global networks, organizations, and exchanges.
