Making of the Modern World Course Overview Course Director: Sarah Richardson

Context This module contextualises later modern history by providing a framework in which major historical processes of the later modern era are studied on a world-wide scale. The module moves away from a Eurocentric and narrative focus and provides more scope for historical approaches based on, among other things, culture, identity and environmental history.

Syllabus modern The central focus of the module is the rise of the modern, its diffusion and resistance to it. Central features are the Enlightenment, the rise of democracy, industrialisation, imperialism and political and cultural revolution.

What is the ‘modern’? Rise of urban/commercial society Emergence of territorial nation states Growth of modern science Rise of democracy Enlightenment – Age of Reason /rationalism Rise of secularism and humanism Nature dominated by man

Themes ENLIGHTENMENT, REVOLUTION AND MODERNITY - definitions of enlightenment - theories of revolution THE WEALTH AND POVERTY OF NATIONS - challenge to eurocentric/anglocentric view of industrial growth - what has been the effect of industrialisation on India/Africa?

Themes NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT - Arcadians and Romantics IDEOLOGIES AND STATES - Liberal Nation State - Socialist Challenge - Fascism - Imperialism and Globalisation FAITH AND MODERNITY - the relevance of religion in the modern world

Themes IDENTITIES: THE INDIVIDUAL & THE MODERN - Class, Gender, Race, Nationhood WAR, VIOLENCE & MODERNITY/THE CHALLENGE TO REASON - Critiques of modernism - Science/technology and war CULTURAL REVOLUTIONS - High culture: modernism - Popular culture and the Sixties

Themes POSTMODERNISM – AND AFTER? Where are we now? - In the late 20th century the postmodern critique become widespread: - The ‘ enlightenment project ’ / ’ modernism ’ has failed - We live in a ‘ postmodern ’ condition - There are no longer great political ‘ isms ’ - Instead ‘ individual ’ ‘ choice ’ reigns supreme in a supermarket of cultures and values.
