HISTORY. 263: Impact of Empire

Is empire (on the British variant of which, in its heyday, the sun reportedly never set) securely superseded (as some have confidently asserted) or does it endure, and if so, in what forms and domains? Are ongoing resistance to government interventions in India, long-gestating environmental and migration crises around the globe also among the impacts of empire?

Focusing on (but not exclusively) passages of men and women in, through, and from the region variously styled “south Asia,” and the Indian subcontinent since (primarily) the 19th century, this course considers in historical perspective such contemporary concerns as "globalization," the nation and nationalism, sectarianism, communalism, and the identities, affinities and politics in which these terms and the complex phenomena they name are enmeshed in the context of migrations.
Approximately the first half of the course focuses on the study of migration from “India” in the course title and on the epistemological assumptions and methodological practices associated with migration from this region. The second part of the course will consider some of the effects of the various modalities governing these “passages” (including empire and nation), along with the migration experiences and cultural, social and political formations encountered and engendered by the men and women circulating through imperial and national spaces in and from South Asia.
Students will participate in determining the specific topics to be engaged in the second half of the course as you also develop a research project of your own in and around the themes, dynamics and trajectories traced in the first half of the course, and we will together develop the specifics of what we collectively read/view in the second half of the course: a collaboration in teaching/learning that incorporates a structured scaffolding for your research projects (which may take forms including but not limited to a conventional paper 10-15 pages in length).
