The 1960s in International Perspective<br />

BA-History / North American History<br />

Opt. – 3-6 CP<br />

Q<br />

<strong>German</strong> - English<br />

The 1960s saw an unprecedented level of political and social activism all over the world. Yet most<br />

histories of the decade treat the phenomenon within specific national contexts and neglect to examine<br />

the international dimensions of these movements. This seminar will explore the wave of protests that<br />

swept the globe during the 1960s from a transnational perspective. The primary focus will be on the<br />

United States, France, <strong>German</strong>y, and Czechoslovakia, but we will touch on other areas as well such as<br />

Latin America and Asia. Students in this course will explore these themes in conjunction with a group of<br />

students from Princeton University. Part of the seminar will therefore be conducted via the internet in<br />

chat rooms and through discussion boards created for this seminar. The entire seminar, including the<br />

readings and the international exchanges via the internet will be conducted in English. The goal is to have<br />

a constructive transatlantic exchange of viewpoints on topics relevant to the general theme and the<br />

explore the differences and/or similarities in the <strong>German</strong> and American scholarly and popular<br />

perspectives on the period. Some core reading assignments will be read by both Erfurt and Princeton<br />

students and will provide the basis for weekly discussions. In addition, Princeton students will prepare<br />

summaries of relevant works for the colleagues in <strong>German</strong>y, while Erfurt students will prepare summaries<br />

of <strong>German</strong> works for their American colleagues. All of these assignments will be composed in English by<br />

both Erfurt and Princeton participants.<br />

Students will explore a variety of movements through primary and secondary sources. Their task is twofold:<br />

first they will look at the indigenous social and political conditions that led to and shaped the protest<br />

movements in specific countries; secondly, they will look at issues that transcended national boundaries<br />

and contributed to the global scope of the protests. Among those will be the role of intellectuals,<br />

revolutionary icons, politicians, and students, as well as international debates about socialism,<br />

colonialism, and imperialism. For more information see www.uni-erfurt.de/nordamerika | Lehre | WS<br />
