MEDICINE AND MODERNITY IN AMERICA

“Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

This lecture/seminar course will offer you a cultural, intellectual, and

social history of American medicine from the eighteenth century through

today with an emphasis on the twentieth century. We will focus on the

relationship between science, medicine, and philosophy over time,

especially regarding both animal and human experimentation; the

interconnections between medicine and culture historically; the

relationship between doctor and patient amidst increasing

professionalization and demands for empathy in caring; the development

of American therapeutic cultures, especially the history of psychiatry;

institutional frameworks of American medicine, especially the rise of the

8

hospital; as well as, of course, the experiences and representations of

illness, death, diseases, insanity, suffering and curing over time. The

readings will combine cultural and intellectual history with some

theoretical works, along with medical primary sources. I hope that you

will emerge from this course feeling theoretically conversant with the

medical humanities, and with greater methodological tools to approach the

history of medicine, from material culture to case notes to patient

testimonies and culture.

THE STUFF THAT MADE CANADA

This course examines the commodities that shaped Canadian history -- the

"stuff", so to speak, that made Canada. From the silks and spices that

explorers sought in vain past this land; to the cod, fur, lumber, and wheat

that for centuries served as economic staples; to sugar, on which rested the

balance of empire, and even to ginseng, whose peculiar place in our

history has largely been forgotten. Patterns of production, transformation,

circulation, and consumption have long bound together Europe, Africa,

Asia, and the Americas. These materials and patterns, and the peoples they

touched, lend themselves particularly well to a historically-grounded

interdisciplinary analysis. Prerequisite: 12 HIS credits including 6 credits at the 2000-level. (C).


TO BE DETERMINED

HIS3397 A Selected Topics in History (3,0,0) 3 cr.

THE ENGLISH EAST INDIA COMPANY

This course is designed to survey the emergence, expansion and eclipse of

the English East India Company. As such, the lectures cover in detail the

period from 1600 until the later 1850s and consider the crucial role the

East India Company played in Britain’s rise from a minor European state

to a global imperial power. The Company story offers a means of

examining the connections between proto-industrious and industrial

worlds, and the movement of peoples and products that characterized the

whole dynamic of British expansionism. Thus, the East India Company’s

history casts light upon the political, social, cultural, military and

mercantile nature of the ‘British’ state and empire in this period and those

themes too are considered in this course.

HIS4135 B Seminar in Canadian History (3,0,0) 3 cr.

CANADA’S RIGHTS REVOLUTION

Contemporary Canadians take their Constitutional Rights and Freedom for

granted. This seminar will analyze the origins, the framing and the

entrenchment of Canada’s world-renowned Canadian Charter of Rights

and Freedoms in the Constitution Act, 1982. The Charter is now a central

element, alongside democracy, the rule of law, and federalism, to

Canada’s Constitution. What role did British-Canadian political & civil

liberties organizations and the United Nation’s Charter of Rights

instruments play in the development of Canada’s Rights and Freedoms?

Who were the array of proponents and critics of an entrenched Charter of

Rights? What was the nature and scope of their arguments and how and

why did the Charter’s advocates win the day? What role did the Charter

Canadian organizations and the Supreme Court of Canada play in the

implementation of the Charter? Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

COMPARATIVE HISTORIES OF DISEASE

This thematically-organized, cross-national, and cross-time period course

explores concepts of disease as they have shaped, and been shaped by,

their cultural contexts. Beginning with the challenges that historians face

in trying to assign labels to past diseases, the seminar will touch upon

many of the cultural aspects of disease, including how diseases were

explained and understood in the past; how diseases assume identities; the

relationship between fear of strangers and fear of disease; how diseases

become ‘fashionable’ in particular places and times; and the rise and fall

of particular medical theories and practices. There will be a focus on the

analysis of primary sources, including texts, images, and objects. Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

A SOCIAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF ROCK & ROLL

This seminar explores historical problems since the 1950s using rock’n

roll and its various subgenres (e.g., metal, punk, rap) as method and

setting. Among the topics explored are dissent and protest, popular

cultural consumption, production and distribution of cultural texts, art and

capitalism, and racial and sexual identity construction and expression. This

course is not dedicated to the history of rock & roll per se, but rather how

popular music has emerged as a ubiquitous means of expression in the

second half of the twentieth century, and one that can be used to

understand the historical circumstances from which it was created,

distributed, and consumed.

SPATIAL HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a tool to collect, store, and

analyse spatial data. A growing number of historians are using applying

GIS to historical datasets (such as property records, diaries, and census

data) and thus transforming them into different and useful forms of

knowledge. This laboratory-style class introduces students to the fields of

spatial history, critical cartography, historical geography, and

environmental history through the use of GIS and ArcGIS software. The

course is made up of two primary components: 1) a critical component, in

which students engage with key works and ideas; and 2) a practical

component in which students work with a historical dataset to create new

15

cartographical visualizations. Students will emerge from the course with a

good understanding of the field of spatial history, as well as basic GIS

skills.

variety of radical approaches to politics and society. Students will learn

how anonymous citizens, intellectuals, students, community activists,

labour unions, popular movements, feminists and various political

organizations sought to change social and political structures in Canada

PRESENTING THE PAST: PACKAGING EUROPE’S HERITAGE FOR MODERN

CONSUMPTION

For the upcoming Quincentenary of the Protestant Reformation, Playmobil

created a Martin Luther figure, 34,000 of these “Little Luthers” selling

within 72 hours to become Playmobil’s most popular figure ever. Why

has this little toy been so successful? And what are Germans trying to

capture by purchasing it? Taking this episode as a starting point, this

course will explore the manner in which Europe’s past has been prepared

by and cultivated for numerous audiences in the modern period and the

messages – as well as the implications – of such formulations. Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

HIS3150 C Selected Topics in American

History

(3,0,0) 3 cr.

THINKING AMERICAN: AMERICAN THOUGHT AND CULTURE BEFORE 1865

The use and abuse of American history are always prevalent during an

election year, including claims about how the founding fathers would have

behaved, about a new era of Jacksonian populism, about the decline of the

American Empire, and perennial claims about the American character as

25

superficial, materialistic, racist and crass. Spanning the colonial era

through the Civil War, this lecture/seminar class will, I hope, complicate

these assertions by offering you a survey of pre-modern American ideas

and culture. Topics to be studied include the concepts of the Atlantic

World/contact zones, Puritanism, the Enlightenment, evangelicalism,

slavery and other captivity narratives (especially of indigenous

Americans), abolitionism, music, photography, painting, fiction/poetry,

and material culture. We will pay particular attention to religious history,

including concepts of grace, resignation, religious revivals, and the

tensions between church and state, faith and reason; the formation of the

polity, including revolution, constitutionalism, republicanism, citizenship,

and populism; the arts, especially visual, literary and philosophical sources

of the American Gothic movement, romanticism, and transcendentalism;

world perceptions of Americans and American perceptions of the world;

and history and memory, especially the memory of the founders, slavery,

and the Civil War. We will consult an array of primary sources including

political speeches, government documents, philosophical and religious

treatises, legal cases, drawings and photographs, fictional accounts,

personal narratives, advertisements, periodicals, newspapers, and

pamphlet culture, many of which have been digitized.

Prerequisite: 12 HIS credits including 6 credits at the 2000-level. (A).

Slavery’s ‘slow death’ in Africa will receive the greatest attention, with

some comparison to other world regions.

Palestine, the creation of the state of Israel and the first Arab-Israeli war,

the Suez crisis, the 1967 and 1973 wars, the Intifada and the peace

HIS3195 A Selected Topics in Latin

American History

(3,0,0) 3 cr.

HONOR, SEXUALITY AND CRIME IN LATIN AMERICA (17TH TO 19TH

CENTURIES)

Colonial Latin America society was extremely hierarchical and based on

the colour-class domination of the Indians, the slaves of African descent

and other racial groups known as the mestizos or “mixed blood”. In this

society, every individual had to negotiate his or her place in the complex

social hierarchy. For instance, men and women of all walks of life used

arguments such as honor, good reputation of the family, education,

“vergüenza” (shame), quality of birth and/or purity of race to justify their

worth. This course surveys the transformation of the concepts of honor in

different regions of Latin America between the 17th and the 19th century

while touching on important themes such as gender, sexuality, Indian

identity, slavery and the impact of the Wars of Independence on this

concept. Prerequisite: 12 HIS credits including 6 credits at the 2000-level. (N).

DIGITAL HISTORY IN CANADA: SKILLS, TOOLS AND RESEARCH

How does learning history change when using digital tools to support

research and writing? What happens when the study of the past is

presented in the digital realm? The possibilities for students to approach

history in a diversity of ways is exciting when millions of significant

primary and secondary source texts, photographs, videos, audio sources,

artefacts, maps, and much more have been made available online via

academic and public realms. This course will introduce students to skills

that include critically evaluating history research digitally enhanced and

considering how to leverage technology to enable their research using a

diversity of methods and tools introduced in this course. Students will be

introduced to a range of works on evaluating, interpreting and creating

history using digital tools. Beyond course readings they will also critically

engage a range of digital tools like Zotero, Omeka, JS Timeline,

Storymaps and Voyant among others and learn how to construct, post,

maintain and implement new media in their course work. Prerequisite: 12 HIS credits including 6 credits at the 2000-level. (C).

HIS4135 C Seminar in Canadian History (3,0,0) 3 cr.

ENCOUNTERS IN LOTUSLAND: THE HISTORY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IN

MULTIPLE CONTEXTS

Canadians often think of British Columbia as a periphery, both of their

own country and even of western civilization; the novelist Jack Hodgins

once described the province as "the rainy green edge of the world."

Throughout its history, however, British Columbia has also been a

crossroads, where people and ideas from different parts of the world have

come together, for better or for worse. This course presents the province's

history as a series of such encounters. It invites students to discover British

Columbia as an Indigenous homeland, an outpost of the British Empire, an

extension of the American West, a Canadian province, a region of

temperate rain forests and high mountains, and an integral part of the

Pacific World. Through weekly readings and seminar discussions,

presentations, and a major research project, students will consider how

these multiple, overlapping contexts have contributed to British

Columbia's distinctive history and character. Topics will include

Indigenous-newcomer relations, the gold rushes, immigration from Asia,

relations with the rest of Canada, the peculiarities of BC politics, and the

role of the environment in shaping the province's society, economy and

culture.

PEWTER DISHES, CHAMBER POTS AND WASHING MACHINES. CANADA’S MANY

“CONSUMER REVOLUTIONS”.

Post-industrial economies are driven by consumption, and Canada is no

exception. Built-in obsolescence insures that we constantly want new

consumer goods, and we take their diversity and availability of for

granted. This, of course, has not always been the case. Our relationship

with the “world of goods” has significantly changed over the centuries,

and historians of consumption have even identified several “consumer

revolutions” which have occurred since the seventeenth century. In this

seminar, we will try to find out whether there were such “consumer

revolutions” in Canada, and how typical or not they were?

In particular, we will address the following questions:

Who purchased what, when and where? How did this change

32

over time? What do consumption patterns tell us about the

meanin(g) people gave to goods? What this shaped by gender,

age, occupation, class, race/ethnicity, migrant status, religion or

place of residence?

What goods were distributed where, when and how? How fast did

new ones appear on various markets and how quickly were they

adopted?

How did consumption reshape the geography of towns and cities?

HIS4141 B Seminar in Comparative History (3,0,0) 3 cr.

OBSERVATION AS HISTORY

In the late twentieth century, intellectuals have freighted the act of

observation with a host of undesirable qualities, from voyeurism (Leela

Gandhi, Susan Sontag), to surveillance (Michel Foucault), to exoticization

(Edward Said), to “slumming” (Scott Herring, Chad Heap), to

“scopophilia” (Laura Mulvey). Historians of science and medicine,

however, of late have challenged this characterization, insisting that

observation can be a mode of empathy (Elizabeth Lunbeck, Lorraine

Daston). This course seeks to unite these standpoints by exploring how the

act of looking has been taken up by intellectuals and historians across

vastly different regions, eras, and disciplines, especially focusing on

theorists and historiography of colonialism, race, sexuality, disability, and

science and medicine. We will analyse primary sources such as the

colonial museum, photography and documentary film, travel literature,

anthropological accounts, material culture, queer neighbourhoods and

performances, freakery, medical spectacles, doctors’ notes and reports,

and trauma cultures (especially the internet). This course aims to sharpen

your theoretical acumen, hone your visual literacy, and appreciate and

engage with trans-disciplinary historiography. Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

HIS4151 B Seminar in American History (3,0,0) 3 cr.

TOUCHSTONES IN THE MAKING OF MODERN AMERICA

This course looks at America, both the America of fact and the America of

imagined identity. At the turn of the 21st century, the dominant influence

of the United States in global affairs is undeniable. And yet, very few

33

people outside of the U.S. itself have spent a concerted amount of time

studying its past, and informing themselves about the unique (or

conversely, the common) elements of American history. Even rarer than

this is the time most of us have spent attempting to understand what

motivates American citizens, why and how certain policies and

preoccupations have evolved, and how different segments of American

society have gradually developed their understanding of the world and

their country’s place in it. This course will look at how these forces played

themselves out in the United States over the course of the 20th century. Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

Far from being outdated or from a time long far gone, one can argue that

myths are enduring entities, if not updated, that still play a part in our

societies, even in the digital age. This seminar explores the production and

reproduction of myths in Canada, from newspapers to social media. It

focuses on the history of myths, from its origins to its transformations over

time, be it in oral, written, graphic or digital forms. While doing so,

students will get to work with discourses, testimonials, newspapers,

This seminar examines the history of French North America, from the

arrival of the French in the 16th century to the political struggles of the

20th century. However, it will differ from traditional courses/seminars. It

will consider ten moments that forever changed French North America;

ten key episodes that may have seemed rather innocuous the instance they

took place, but in retrospect changed everything. As such, students will be

deconstructing major historical events to their most minute (to a certain

extent, of course) origin. Students will examine how these moments came

The ability to form and maintain networks of interpersonal relationships

was a vital skill in navigating ancient societies, and researchers emphasize

this skill in their analysis of a variety of contexts. This course will

examine social networking from numerous perspectives, including those

of lordship and vassalage, credit and business, parish communities, the

circulation of manuscripts and translations, connections formed through

libraries, between artists, illuminators and printers, and the particular

importance of links formed through marriage and oath-taking at all levels

of medieval society. Students will use both secondary and primary

sources in gaining an understanding of how medieval networks were

formed, how they were maintained, and the consequences for falling

outside them. Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in

BORDERS, MOBILITY, AND IDENTITIES IN EUROPE

The history of European integration is about borders—physical borders

and “borders of the mind”. The integration project aimed to eliminate

national frontier borders; extend and protect Europe’s outer frontiers; and

remake borders of language, culture, and community. The goal ws to

construct a European space, foster mobility within that space, and create a

shared identity for this new, larger territory and its emerging system of

governance. This seminar will focus on a range of issues associated with

borders, mobility, and identity in the European Union, including

enlargement, immigration, monetary integration, transnational lifestyles,

popular culture, illegal mobility, nationalism, religion, and other systems

of inclusion and exclusion that have shaped Europe and its physical and

symbolic borders.

COLONIAL, LE CAS DE L’INDOCHINE FRANÇAISE.

Ce cours se veut une étude des réseaux à la fois licites et criminels

engendrés par la présence coloniale en Indochine française. Au cours du

semestre nous analyserons les définitions de la criminalité et du

« criminel » tout en élucidant l’impact de l’imposition des lois françaises

dans la colonie et de la loi par décret dans les protectorats de l’Indochine.

Nous nous pencherons aussi sur les questions suivantes : la criminalisation

du politique et du social; les représentations des sujets indochinois; la

criminalité du projet impérial français; et, la réglementation des activités

coloniales et « indigènes ». Préalable : 81 crédits universitaires. Réservé aux étudiants et étudiantes

LA FRANCE « ARABE » D’UNE RÉVOLUTION AUX AUTRES

Nous explorerons la présence de « l’Arabe » dans la France métropolitaine

du 19ème siècle jusqu’au présent. A travers de textes historiographiques,

37

de récits, de cartes, de publicités, de plans architecturaux, de films ainsi

que d’autres sources, ce cours examinera comment les immigrés du

Maroc, de l’Algérie et de la Tunisie, Musulmans et Juifs, ont changé la

société française. En examinant les façons diverses et variées par

lesquelles les colonies maghrébines et leurs immigrés ont transformé la

France, ce cours prend en compte les thèmes centraux de l’histoire

française du 20ème siècle : la colonisation et la décolonisation, le défi

lancé au républicanisme laïc par la diversité raciale et religieuse et

l’intégration des immigrés. Nous explorerons les intersections complexes

de race et religion dans l’imaginaire français, historiquement et

actuellement. Nous regarderons également les continuités et les ruptures

entre les périodes coloniales et postcoloniales.

Préalable : 81 crédits universitaires. Réservé aux étudiants et étudiantes

VILLES ET DYNAMIQUES URBAINES EN EUROPE OCCIDENTALE (XVIE-XVIIIE

SIÈCLES)

Ce cours porte sur l’histoire urbaine de l’Europe occidentale entre le XVIe

et le XVIIIe siècle. Les étudiants seront initiés aux concepts de base que

les historiens ont élaborés (acteurs, espaces, identité, etc.) afin de saisir les

villes européennes dans toute leur complexité. En contre-pieds d’une

historiographie traditionnelle qui les présentait comme statiques et figées

dans le temps, ce cours propose d’aborder les villes comme des entités à la

fois uniques et complexes émanant de plusieurs dynamiques

concomitantes qui pouvaient évoluer et se transformer dans le temps.

Notre regard se portera tour à tour sur les dimensions sociales, politiques

et religieuses qui rythmaient le quotidien des citadins, ainsi que sur des

processus urbains d’exception tels que la construction d’une ville nouvelle

destinée à satisfaire les intérets de la monarchie française (Versailles) et la

dynamique insurrectionnelle urbaine qui bouleversa le destin d’un

royaume (la Révolution française de 1789). Préalable : 81 crédits universitaires. Réservé aux étudiants et étudiantes
