Module overview<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

This module will examine the ways in which ideas, people or goods travel across (national) borders; analysing in particular, processes of adaptation, translation and assimilation. <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

During the 20th century, with the advance of communication technology, the impact of transnationality on our social, cultural and economic lives increased dramatically. Debates about national identity, ethnic and religious conflict, or fights for resources, present an important framework for the re-orientation of historical research and historians need to take account of these developments. The module will encourage students to think beyond the narrow framework of the nation state and will introduce basic debates in transnational history and will exemplify these approaches with the help of specific historical examples, covering the period 1750 – 2000. <\/font><\/p>\n

This is a level one module (equivalent to first year undergraduate). No prior subject knowledge is required for this module, but students are expected to have a keen interest in the area. It is recommended students read either, Christopher A. Bayly’s, The Birth of the Modern World (London, 2004), or J\u00fcrgen Osterhammel’s, The Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century (Princeton, 2014), prior to the start of the module.<\/font><\/p>\n
