INTS 130 - Daily Life in Middle Eastern History

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

In recent years, historians have adopted daily life as an analytical framework for historical inquiry. This course will approach the history of the Middle East from the 7th century to the 20th century through this framework. Topics such as housing, food, clothing, travel, cities, education, entertainment, trade, and ritual will shape our encounter with Middle Easterners of the past. Reading assignments will come from textbooks, monographs, and travel accounts for the pre-1900 period. Memoirs and fiction will provide our window onto the daily life of Middle Eastern men and women in the 20th century. This course defines Middle Eastern history in broad geographical and chronological terms, but its focus on daily life is intended to bring the minutiae of the lived experience of that history to life for students. 1.00 units, Lecture
