  • HISTORY 1041: Before the Da Vinci Code: The Holy Grail

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course is intended to acquaint students with the interlinked problems of cultural violence, history writing, and the invention and popularity of Grail romances in 12th century Europe. The Grail romance cycle emerged in the wake of violence perpetrated by Christian Crusaders who traveled to the Eastern Mediterranean to capture Jerusalem and other pilgrimage sites from their Muslim rulers. We will study how the Grail story stages a crisis in chivalric masculinity and enacts fierce contests over knowledge, power, capital, and religious difference endemic in 12th and 13th century Europe. We will also explore why the Grail never lets go in the Western imaginary. We will study how bits and pieces of the Grail story recycled themselves in imperial fantasies of the 19th century, in Nazi Germany, as well as post-War new-Nazi fantasies, up to the Da Vinci Code.

  • HISTORY 1045: Sex in 20th Century Europe: Panic and Liberation

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course examines the 20th century history of sexual attitudes, desires, behaviors, identities, communities, and movements in western Europe (most notably Germany, France and the United Kingdom). We will focus on the period from the 1920s until today, years when celebrations and concerns about sexual liberation, hedonism, the ‘decline of virtue’, the end of repression, etc., have been constantly at the center of political, social, religious and scientific debates. Among the topics covered are reproduction, fertility, birth control, and abortion; prostitution and commercialized sex; sexually-transmitted diseases; interracial and interethnic sexualities; and same-sex (homo-) and cross-sex (hetero-) sexualities. We explore the importance of sexuality in history and the ways in which the study of sexuality offers opportunities to re-think major themes in the social, cultural, and political histories of the West.

  • HISTORY 1062: Confronting Empire: Imperialism, Resistance, and the Third World

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course introduces key themes and issues in the study of both modern imperialism and the opposition and challenges to it emanating from the third world/global South, past and present. Bringing together a variety of primary and secondary source materials, the course examines case studies and specific moments of collective struggle drawn from the disarticulated sites labeled the “third world”. It spotlights anti-imperialism as a unifying axis of multidimensional opposition, but also reveals the radically democratic aspirations and efforts to achieve participatory social justice that have formed points of commonality among third world people. As such, it develops the tools for comprehending third world peoples as historic agents in the shaping of alternative modernities and imaginings about the end of empire, and through their confrontations as key actors thwarting and destabilizing the imperialist project in the modern world.

  • HISTORY 1101: U.S. History to 1877

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course, United States History to 1877, traces the historical roots of what is now the United States of America: the Mississippian development of agriculture and urban life, the competition of various empires over land and peoples, the successes and failures of European settlements, the forced migration of West Africans and the invention of enslavement and race. By 1776, the United States of America was formed under promises of liberty, equality, property rights, and tolerance. But who would benefit? Who should rule? Partial industrialization, the consolidation of slavery, agricultural specialization, and expansion to the west, along with demands for reform and democracy, made these questions ever more vexed and led to a Civil War and a flawed attempt to reconstitute the Union by 1877. There are no prerequisites.
