Séminaire en histoire européenne

Le corps en Europe moderne: images, métaphores et expériences
Ce séminaire utilisera un angle original, le corps, pour explorer les
sociétés européennes à l’époque moderne (16e-18e siècle). Nous
verrons comment les Européens comprenaient et représentaient le
corps humain et s’en servaient pour interpréter le monde autour d’eux.
Nous pourrons ainsi, à travers les lectures communes et les recherches
des étudiants, toucher à des sujets très variés allant de la médecine à la
religion, en passant par l’art, la littérature, la politique et la guerre.

Les dess(e)ins politiques: propagande et résistance en milieux
colonisés
Ce cours a pour but d’analyser la propagande et la résistance, en milieu
colonial, à travers certains médias visuels tels les caricatures, les
dessins politiques, les cartes postales, les affiches et les publicités.
Dans un premier temps il s’agira d’apprendre à « lire » les images et
donc à décortiquer la construction des représentations impériales,
identitaires et nationales. Ensuite les stratégies de propagande et de
résistance mises en place dans plusieurs contextes (les occupations
nazies, la guerre du Pacifique, la colonisation de l’Indochine, entre
autres) seront étudiées en profondeur.

HIS 5122A
Research Seminar
(3,0,0) 3 cr.
The goal of this seminar is to get us thinking about what it
is we are doing when we write history or think historically.
We will discuss and explore a variety of historical
approaches, theory, historiography, and writing styles,
especially demonstrating how history is intertwined with
other disciplines. Topics and themes include: public
history; history and memory; pedagogy and history;
empiricism; narrative theory; historical materialism; the
concept of the historical “turn,” especially the “linguistic”
and “cultural” turns; postmodernism and postpostmodernism or the “new humanism,” among others.
The readings all offer you examples of prevailing
historiographical trends, and are intended to provoke a
reflection about how you see yourself as an historian and
as an intellectual. The more practical part of this seminar is
to help you formulate your M.A. research project and
present your preliminary research.

America
The Fur Trade in British North America
This seminar proposes a study of the fur trade beginning in 1760 and
going to the end of the 19th century. After a rapid survey of the
relevant literature and the principle historiographical debates that
surround this field of study, students will be required to conduct a
research project based on predetermined and described archival
collections held at the Library Archives Canada or fur trade focused
microfilm collections held at Morisset library uOttawa. The holdings
available for student projects include those of the Hudson’s Bay
Company, North West Company and the American Fur Company
[AFC]. Catalogue descriptions of these collections will be made
available to you in class. The St. Louis, Missouri based fur trade
microfilmed documents, including the family papers of the dominant
fur trading Chouteau Family, are now available at Morisset Library
(microfilm room). A catalogue description has been made available to
you in the course pack. Also available at Morisset Library are the SteGenevieve Missouri notarial collection. This French settlement on the
banks of the Mississippi River was an active center of fur trading
activities. Finally the microfilm collections of the nearby and older
Kaskaskia settlement, of the fur trader Pierre Menard and the
microfilmed papers of Papers of Henry Hastings Sibley : fur trader,
politician, and general, are also in Morisset library. The aim of this
course is to familiarize students with the enormous research potential
of these relatively underused collections. To reach this objective each
student will undertake a research project based on archival/ primary
documents on a clearly defined subject. A whole series of specific fur
trade archival holdings and research subjects are proposed to you in the
following pages. Also included are relevant historiographical articles
and book chapters for easy reference. No prior knowledge of this
period or this subject is needed to succeed in this course.

Séminaire en histoire du Canada

Nation, mémoire et identité au Québec et dans la francophonie
canadienne des Rébellions à nos jours
Au carrefour de la tradition et de la modernité, la question nationale et
les enjeux liés à la mémoire collective ont joué, depuis le XIXe siècle,
un rôle structurant dans les débats politiques et intellectuels du Québec
et du Canada français dans son ensemble. Ce séminaire permettra aux
étudiants d’analyser les principaux facteurs (sociaux, culturels,
économiques et politiques) qui ont agi sur la construction et l’évolution
des identités « nationales » et « postnationales » qui se sont succédé –
et qui ont parfois coexisté – au Québec et dans la francophonie
canadienne au cours des deux derniers siècles. Parmi les
problématiques qui seront abordées, mentionnons les suivantes :
l’opposition entre nationalisme culturel et nationalisme politique, la
montée des idéologies sécessionnistes au Québec, l’évolution des
rapports entre le Québec et les minorités françaises hors de ses
frontières, l’essor et la déconfiture du cléricalisme, l’influence du
contexte international et les conséquences de l’immigration sur les
idéologies au Québec et dans la francophonie canadienne, etc. Les
lectures et les discussions accorderont une attention particulière aux
transformations mémorielles du Canada français et à leurs
conséquences politiques.

Seminar in European History
(3,0,0) 3 cr.
Russia’s War and Revolution in European Context (1890s-1940s)
The extraordinary Bolshevik experiment - aimed at completely
recasting the culture, economy, and politics of the Russian Empire was not just a Russian phenomenon. It fundamentally recast European
political and cultural debates, all while being itself forged in European
ideas, economic ideals, and government practices that emerged in the
maelstrom of ‘total mobilisation’ of World War I. While the primary
focus of this seminar will be on the Russian Empire / USSR through
World War I, the Revolutions of 1917, and the early years of the
Soviet Union, we will also examine the circulation of ideas (economic,
political, cultural, Imperial), and some of the indirect and direct
impacts on the rest of Europe.
