Topics: The Modern construction of Antiquity: Archeology, Museums, Tourism and the (ab)use of the past

Who owns Classical Antiquity? Academics, dilettante antiquarians or “the public”? Do monuments and ideas belong to States or Humanity as a whole? Why have Classics been such an important aspect of modern academia and what explains their decline today? Why has the classical past fascinated so many people, been reinterpreted so many times and given rise to so many public uses and, one is tempted to say, abuses (ex. the Nazis and the Olympic Games)? What is the connection between archaeology, colonialism, nationalism? Why do people are ready to travel far away, engage in a costly voyage and spend so much time under the burning sun just to see ruins?

This course will address all these issues. It will examine the evolution of the interest in and study of Classical Antiquity from the 18th c. to nowadays through the simultaneous and intertwined processes of the progressive professionalization of history and archaeology as academic disciplines, the emergence of nationalism and the nation-states, the transformation of cultural practices from the Grand Tour to the modern museum and mass tourism.

[course medium HIST 585]  -  **RECENTLY ADDED** (Nov 26) Will explore an approach to historical research and writing first developed by a group of South Asian historians of South Asia in the early 1980s. Since that time, the “subaltern studies” school of history has influenced historians throughout Asia, Latin America, Africa, cultural historians, and historical analysis of literature. Driven by a desire to liberate the history of India from its colonial legacy and from nationalist elites, founding members of the South Asian subaltern studies collective began to formulate their own approach to writing about resistance. In our class we will explore the foundational “subaltern studies” texts describing the problems of history, sources, and their approach. Students will be encouraged to consider ways in which these theories are applied by historians of different geographic regions and in diverse disciplines.
