ORIGIN STORIES: RACE, GENEALOGY, AND CITIZENSHIP
HIST BC4666, Call Number: 02238, 4 Points
Date/Time: W 11:00 am – 12:50 pm Location: 318 Milbank Hall (Barnard)
Instructor: Nara Milanich, Associate Professor
In our exploration of “origin stories,” we will examine a series of topics—ranging from eugenics to paternity testing—that at first seem quite disparate but on closer examination turn out to be very much interrelated. Individuals imagine themselves to belong to particular originary collectivities, but questions of origins are significant not just to individuals: societies and states also construct categories of belonging and exclusion based on origins. In this regard, we will examine how two central categories of belonging—family and race—help to create a third: citizenship, or belonging in the nation.
FROM STATE BUILDING TO NATION BUILDING: 19TH CENTURY IN MEXICO
LCRS G6250, Call Number: 72205, 4 Points
Date/Time: W 2:10pm – 4:00pm Location: 802 IAB
Instructor: Frida Osorio
The purpose of this seminar is to analyze the formation and consolidation of the modern Mexican State during the 19th century. Through the critical lens of historiography, three interrelated topics will be studied: the political challenges inherited by the crisis of Hispanic monarchy; elite striving to build a viable State; and the contradictions that were produced by the process of State building. First of all, the seminar will discuss, on the one hand, the way in which the State was understood and, on the other hand, the projects concerning the organization of the State that were carried out during the 19th century. Moreover, it will assess the mecanisms that were used to legitimize a new political order in which the legislation was considered to be the main source of the law and in which the State was considered to be the only legitimate political authority. Finally, the seminar will also seek to elucidate the political actions and discourses that took part in the preservation of elite interests in the imposition of cultural values and social control.
SLAVE MEMORY IN BRAZIL
HIST W3662, Call Number: 25291, 3 Points
Date/Time: MW 4:10 pm – 5:25 pm Location: TBA
Instructor: Hebe Mattos, Cardoso Visiting Professor
The research on the making of racial identities in Brazil and on the history of Brazilian black culture and black social movements increased significantly in the last twenty years, dialoguing directly with the idea of being part of the African diaspora at the Atlantic. The discussion of the content of audiovisual resources related with this process allows connecting the contemporary discussion about public memory of slavery in Brazil with the globalized perspective of politics of identity in the Atlantic World.
