- CSCL 1501W Reading History: Theory and Practice 4 credits, meets Lib Ed req of Historical Perspective Core; meets Lib Ed req of Writing Intensive Course description: ?Theory? in the title of this course refers to the various ways of thinking about the past and conceptualizing history; ?Practice? refers to ways of reading and writing critically about these concepts and theories in order to analyse how the past is imagined and history is written. In other words, this is not a course on how to write history, and the goal of this course is not to present a chronological account of historical events. Instead, we will continuously engage critically with how and why history is written and the past is remembered. We will read texts of and on history from Antiquity to the present, and analyze objects from a wide variety of sources, from ancient and medieval texts to music videos and the buildings that surround us.

- Class Description:
Despite what the current info in Schedule Builder states note that this will NOT be on online class; THIS CLASS WILL BE ENTIRELY IN-PERSON, ON CAMPUS.
"Theory" in the title of this course refers to the various ways of thinking about the past and conceptualising history; "Practice" refers to the modes of reading and writing critically about these concepts and theories in order to analyse how the past is imagined and history is written. In other words, this is not a course on how to write history, and the goal of this course is not to present a chronological account of historical events. Instead, we will continuously engage critically with how and why history is written and the past is remembered.
Thus, we will not be concerned with history as such, i.e. specific events in the past. Neither will we be concerned solely with the discipline of historiography, i.e. what historians write about past events, because this course takes history to be any knowledge and imagination of the past. Our aim is to read and discuss these ideas of the past critically.
Thematically the course is divided in three parts (on historiography, ideology, and memory). But it can also be imagined as two large sections. In the first part of the semester we will be concerned with the writing of history, asking questions such as: how is history constructed? Who writes history? For whom is history written? What are the objects and subjects of history? The second part of the semester will look at how individuals and societies remember the past, asking questions such as: is there a difference between history and memory? How does memory manifest itself (not only as literary texts)? Where is history and memory located? How is history used?- Exam Format:
- Response papers and quizzes, plus a 10 - 15 final research paper.
