  • HISTORY 2219: Cold War Culture in America

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    In the years following World War II, the United States held a position of unprecedented global power. Yet many Americans experienced a sense of insecurity about the world as never before. Anxieties about communism at home and abroad as well as the constant fear of a nuclear Armageddon shaped American daily life in the early postwar period. This seminar traces the correlation between America’s foreign relations and its culture and society between 1945 and 1960. Participants will discuss the influence of the atomic bomb on American culture, the emergence of the national security state, the effect of anticommunism on individual liberties at home as well as containment policies abroad, cold war gender relations, and the international dimensions of the civil rights movement.

  • HISTORY 2303: History of Central Europe, 1618-1871

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course will examine the political, social, and cultural history of Central Europe from the Thirty Years War until the unification of Germany in 1871. Although Central European history is dominated by German history, this course will cover Central Europe broadly defined. In addition to German and Habsburg history, we will be looking at the important historical changes taking place in Poland, Hungary, and the other non-German regions of the Habsburg lands. In the course of the term we will concentrate on a number of overarching questions: the structure and political traditions of the early modern state (absolutism, rise of bureaucracies and modern state structures, development of political parties); the questions of backwardness, modernization, and relative economic and social development; the rise of nationalism and the emergence of unification politics; and the broad implications of profound changes in the way people in Central Europe thought about and lived their lives.

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course explores Europe’s tumultuous history during the past century. Over the course of the semester, we will study important moments, stories, groups and individuals from this period, and try to understand why Europeans fought two devastating wars within thirty years, wars that reshaped modern world history. We will explore Europe’s gradual recovery from war and the paths it has taken toward unification and democratization. We will pay significant attention to the histories of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom and some attention to Eastern Europe and Russia/the Soviet Union. We will also look at Europe’s global role, especially its imperial and colonial legacies, as well as the construction of the European Union.

  • HISTORY 2306: Rise of the European Dictators

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    The rise to power of Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini was conditioned by a prolonged crisis in Europe that began with the First World War and passed through economic depression, cultural upheaval, and the collapse of liberal democracy. This course examines this era of crisis (1918-1945) and explores the ways that these dictators harnessed Europe’s troubles to create powerful mass movements. It examines their use of propaganda, nationalism, racism, and ideology. It also looks at the response of democratic nations to the challenges of Fascism, Nazism, and Communism. The course follows these dictators through to the catastrophe of World War II.

  • HISTORY 2307: Europe Divided and United, 1939-1995

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    The creation of today’s united, democratic and peaceful Europe has not been easy. It was achieved only after a half century of war, division, and ideological conflict. This course will treat the impact of the Second World War on Europe and its peoples, and then chart the division and occupation of the continent during the cold war. The course covers the major social, political, and economic trends in Europe since 1945, including the rise of the European Union, and shows how, in 1989, the continent was able to shake off the cold war and bring about peaceful revolution. The course also provides a survey of the major issues facing contemporary Europe, such as unemployment, racism, immigration, and the debate over Europe’s role in world affairs.

  • HISTORY 2317: Central Europe Through Wars and Revolution, 1848-1989

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course introduces students to new narratives of European nationalism and identity. The traditional courses on European history have relied on an understanding of European politics that divides the continent between east and west, and relies on Great Power perspectives. Using the concept of Central Europe, and the ways that it has been interpreted, this course encourages students to restore Central and Eastern Europe to the broader histories of the continent. Narratives of Eastern European peoples, Germans, Slavs, Hungarians, and others, were defined by the struggle between forces of nationalism and geopolitical realities, conflicting desires of sovereignty and security, freedom and social justice. This region, now part of the European Union, is rich in history and culture, as well as cultural and religious diversity. This course will highlight how East Europeans went from objects of high politics to subjects of European and world history.

  • HISTORY 2411: Film in European History

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    The renowned film historian Anton Kaes once wrote: “Historical films interpret national history for the broad public and thus produce, organize, and, to a large degree, homogenize public memory. Surpassing schools and universities, film, and television have become the most effective (and paradoxically least acknowledged) institutional vehicles for shaping historical consciousness.” This course seeks to right that imbalance by acknowledging and studying the way that films (and other visual media) teach us about history. Using prominent American and European films (primarily), students will learn to critically analyze visual media, examining them for content, bias, and interpretation. The course will cover key episodes in modern European history and will provide historical background/context for the period necessary to evaluate and study films as historical documents.
