DESCRIPTION
International relations are usually studied from a top-down perspective. This advanced course develops a bottom-up historical perspective on both the agents of international interactions (migrants and diaspora) and the places where migration and diaspora have rendered state sovereignties ambiguous and complex. Each week, we address one way in which we can study international relations, migration, diaspora and spaces of ambiguous sovereignty from a historical and anthropological perspective. We look at old and new methods, theories and source materials in this field, ranging from archival sources to novels and ethnography. The course covers (early) modern and contemporary history and is arranged around the following themes: travels, people, objects, places, ideas, voices and sounds.
