Introduction
From the last decades of the 20th century, world history has become an implicit
framework of many studies in the humanities and social sciences. However, the
term “world history” should not be taken at face value as all-inclusive history; it is
the subject of fierce intellectual and even ideological debate. This course aims to
explore the tensions that underlie this field, especially those between knowledge
and power.
Objectives
World history as an academic field is drawing increasing attention but has yet to be
firmly established. Through reading and lectures, this course introduces students to
this vigorous debate to deepen their critical awareness of history.
