Course Catalog Description:: Mediterranean history from Middle Ages to present. Taught as staffing permits. prereq: Grad student or advanced undergrad with instr consent
Class Notes:: Topic: The Premodern Digital Mediterranean & Beyond As a research area, Mediterranean history is characterized by an extreme multiplicity of languages, widely divergent archival and textual practices across time and space, and vast disparities in the quality, availability and accessibility of historical sources in the existing archival record. As a region, the Mediterranean is also characterized by political fragmentation and diplomatic volatility that can often make research--particularly research across national boundaries--bureaucratically fraught or even physically perilous. As a result, Mediterranean history is at field for which the new methodologies of Digital History are at once particularly useful and particularly challenging to implement. Against this background, this seminar will explore a series of recent digital approaches to the study of the Mediterranean over a broad chronology from the ancient world through the early modern period, ranging from video games and virtual reality to ArchGIS and social network visualization.
