Introduction to the cultures and identities of Europe, from the Greco-Roman idea of civilization through and past the Cold War. The course will consider how European identities and cultural history relate to the rest of the world. Materials will include cultural-historical/sociopolitical texts, literary works, videos, films, and online materials. This course is not a course on “western civilization,” but rather an exploration of historical moments in European history/cultural history from the past to the present in order to understand how the peoples of Europe define themselves, their cultures, and their own identity as “Europeans” or “other”.
