| SOC 1872L - 20th Century World – A Sociology of States and Empires |
|
This course introduces students to the sociology of empires and states. With help from key theories and concepts it charts a course through the transformation of pre-WWI empires into nation-states and the international order of today. Using primary sources, chosen by the students, we focus on historical continuities and discontinuities that constitute(d) both empires and states and mark the making of the 20th century. Sources may vary from treaties and declarations to literary, film and art works – like Gore Vidal’s Narratives of Empire or Chaplin’s Dictator – that analyze, portray or reproduce state- and empire-making (or unmaking) efforts.
