Description:

Historiography and Historical Practice Fall 2008. Three credits. Oz Frankel This course focuses on U.S. history to examine current permutations of historiographical interests, practices, and methodologies. Topics include identity politics, the culture wars, major trends and controversies in American historiography, the multicultural moment in historical studies, the emergence of race and gender as cardinal categories of historical analysis, the preoccupation with popular culture, the impact of memory studies on historical thinking, the recurrent agonizing over American exceptionalism, and recent attempts to globalize American history. Also examined are the intersection of analytical strategies borrowed from the social sciences and literary studies with methods and epistemologies of historicization that originated from the historical profession. This course should be taken during a student's first year in the Historical Studies program. Cross-listed as GPOL 6133.
