In this advanced seminar, we investigate the manner in which history and anthropology, two “total” disciplines (each considering all aspects of human life their purview), have engaged “the other”—different cultures, social classes, and economic groupings, to name just a few.
The seminar will begin with an overview of the history of significant cultural interactions from earliest times (particularly Homer, Herodotus, and Sima Qian) to the present.
The bulk of the seminar is devoted to careful study of French engagement with the outside world, as well as the disparate elements of a growing and changing French countryside in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries.
Students will use the skills that they develop in their study of French anthropologie et histoire to prepare their own essays on specific traditions of engaging the other.
