  • HISTORY 3343: Getting Crusaded: Making Europe/Making Orientalism

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Some historians contend that the history of medieval Crusading movements is an overdone cliche of 19th century European historiography; other historians argue that such movements were violently constitutive of the formation of Europe. We will explore these contrasting claims by focusing on the following questions: How can we talk critically about historiographical cliche? How did Christians come to fabricate an imaginary territorial space called the ‘Holy Land’ and then imagine that it required Christian military defense? How did medieval Christians paradoxically link the notion of a perpetual peace of God to perpetual holy war? How did the Pope in Rome become an imperial monarch capable of controlling holy wars? How did medieval Christians create an imaginary world of Saracens (their word for Muslims) to which they attached sexualized fantasies of pollution and aggression? How did Western Christendom come to bundle together Eastern Christians, Jews, heretics, and pagans with ‘Saracens’ as enemies of Christendom that must be destroyed?

  • HISTORY 3344: Love, Money, War: Medieval Style

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Counting money, accounting for debt, managing the budget - could such simple everyday practices actually be forces for transformation that change the way we think about embodiment, space, time, love, violence, power? This course will explore the world of the English royal treasury in the 12th century. At that time royal accountants invented new financing techniques. We will explore these fiscal inventions and then trace their ripples throughout society from the ways English kings made love, waged war, legislated law, and exercised rights over bodies, especially the Jews residing in England at this time. We will study how technologies can work not only as tools, but also as weapons. Thus, the question of violence and technology is central to our study.

  • HISTORY 3351: Rome and Italy: Renaissance to the Present

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    A broad survey of Italian history from medieval to modern times. Although the unified Italian state is a modern creation little more than a century old, Italy gave birth to Europe’s first urban civilization in its glorious renaissance cities. Italy finally achieved unity and played a major role in European affairs, which unfortunately included two world wars and the fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. More than is the case with most countries Italian history is the history of its great cities like Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan. We will focus on those centers, especially Rome, which is also the home of the Popes whose role in Italian and world history is immense, and Florence, the home of great artists and such great modern figures as Dante, Machiavelli, and Galileo.
