Laboratoires d'histoire - «Violence politique en Occident (13e-21e s.)» Kouky FIANU / Professeur/e à déterminer

Sujet de l’automne 2020 : Contrainte physique et violence sont des armes politiques qui font

périodiquement surface dans les sociétés occidentales. Pourquoi ces sociétés y ont-elles recours

? Quelles sont les logiques sociales qui expliquent les violences politiques et comment peut-on les

interpréter ? À partir de l’étude de documents, ce laboratoire a pour objectif d’analyser en les

déconstruisant 9 moments de violence politique sur 800 ans. La méthode historique montre que

malgré des contextes changeants, les violences politiques sont essentiellement employées dans le

but d’imposer ou de contester des normes sociales qui, elles, varient dans le temps.

From Source to Text Ryme SEFERDJELI

Subject for Fall 2020 : This course examines the ways historians collect, select and analyze

various sources for the writing of history. Starting with ‘traditional’ sources, the course will look

at the use and analysis of more diverse sources such as the media, visual art, literature/poetry,

personal archives, oral history, movies and music. The course will also explore how the use of

different sources can not only offer different perspectives but can also produce contrasting

interpretations on a same topic.

Historians extract useable information from often fragmented material created for various other

purposes. This course will provide students with the tools needed to handle specific types of

sources (textual, visual, oral or material) or introduce them to specific methods and approaches

(such as geographic information system, quantitative methods, micro-history etc.) Topics will vary

from section to section and the course can be repeated for credit if the content is different.

Reserved for the students registered in the Honours, Joint Honours, Major in history.

Prerequisites: (HIS 2100, 3 course units in history (HIS) at the 2000 level, 9 course units

in history (HIS)) or ((PHI 2197 or HIS 2197), 6 course units in Philosophy (PHI) at the

Selected Topics in American History - Medicine and Modernity in

America Heather MURRAY

Subject for Fall 2020 : This lecture/seminar course will offer you a cultural, intellectual, and

social history of American medicine from the eighteenth century through the present day with an

emphasis on the twentieth century. Our animating question will be: are medicine and modernity

mutually constitutive, and is this particularly the case in the United States? To answer this, we will

focus on the relationship between science, medicine, and philosophy over time; the relationship

between doctor and patient amidst increasing professionalization, as well as 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 hospital; as well as, of

course, experiences and representations of illness, death, diseases and epidemics, insanity,

suffering and curing over time. The readings will combine cultural and intellectual history along

with some theoretical works. (You do not have to be “good at” science to take this course—just

open to reading about this area!) 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, as well as an acquaintanceship with an array of primary sources in the history

of medicine, from material culture, to doctors’ notes, to patient testimonies and cultural

representations.

History Across Borders - Technology, Commodities, Culture, and

European Imperialism, 1870-1939 Eda KRANAKIS

Subject for Fall 2020 : This course will explore global circuits and networks of European

imperialism, analyzing their technological, commercial, social, and cultural dimensions. We will

investigate new forms of international mobility that arose in this era, and how the circulation of

goods, information, and people across continents shaped cultural encounters, patterns of thought,

and trajectories of imperial control and resistance.

This course explores problems and issues that cut across spatial, temporal, and disciplinary

boundaries. Study of historical connections and processes. Examination of various national

experiences within a transregional context. Coursework and assignments will provide students

concrete opportunities to practice interdisciplinary learning and research.

Selected Topics in History – The English East India Company Richard CONNORS

Subject for Fall 2020 : 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 early modern 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.


(HIS).


Selected Topics in History – The First World War Serge DURFLINGER

Subject for Fall 2020 : This course surveys the dominant themes in the history of the First World

Thèmes choisis en histoire américaine - Politique étrangère aux États-

Unis au 19e siècle Lotfi BEN REJEB Sujet de l’automne 2020 : Le long 19e siècle est fondamental pour comprendre les origines de la

politique étrangère des États-Unis, son évolution, et son influence grandissante dans le monde.

Ce cours examine les évènements et personnages principaux qui ont façonné l’histoire des

relations extérieures des États-Unis depuis leur naissance jusqu’à leur percée sur la scène

mondiale au 20e siècle, et qui ont marqué leurs grandes orientations (neutralisme, isolationnisme,

exceptionnalisme, paternalisme, messianisme, impérialisme, hégémonisme). Les étudiants feront

majoritairement sous domination coloniale. Les populations africaines s’organisent en partis

politiques, syndicats, et mouvements sociaux et religieux, pour réclamer l’autodétermination

qu’ils estimaient leur droit. Ce cours examine l’évolution et la variété de ces mouvements en

Afrique coloniale francophone.

Selected Topics in Canadian History - Play and the Past Professor to be determined

Subject for Fall 2020 : This course is dedicated to the critical exploration of the ways in which

play and the past intersect. Play is a serious business, shaped by historical forces. The past,

meanwhile, provides an endless supply of fodder for game creators. Games, of the analog and

digital sorts, reflect and inform the public’s historical consciousness. They are too influential to

be ignored. To professional historians, they pose challenges and opportunities. Can we use video

games to tell history and, if so, how do games, as a medium, influence historical narratives?

Drawing insights from the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of games studies, students will


examine both the history of games and, with a special focus on the Canadian experience, the

representation of history in games.

Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Reserved for students registered in the Honours, Joint

Honours or Major in History.

Selected Topics in Aboriginal History/Selected Topics in Indigenous

History - Indigenous Women, Colonialism and Feminisms Professor to be determined

Subject for Fall 2020 : This course will examine the experiences of Indigenous women and

colonialism in North America, with a particular emphasis on the gendered nature of the colonial

project. Through lectures and course discussions, students will be introduced to select topics

including Indigenous feminisms, intersectionality, political activism, female authorship and

labour, and Indigenous masculinities. Students will become familiar with the key historiographical

debates on these and additional topics, and will ultimately produce an original research paper

based on primary source analysis.

Prerequisite: 81 university credits. Also offered as EAS 4364.Reserved for students

registered in the Honours, Joint Honours or Major in History, or in the Major in

Aboriginal Studies.


Selected Topics in History - History of Global Health and Disease Susan LAMB

Subject for Fall 2020 : Diseases are exemplary global entities, spreading without regard for

political borders. Today, reducing the “global burden of disease” and worldwide health

inequalities tops the agendas of policy-makers, scientists, and billionaires. In this course we

explore critical historical perspectives on issues related to global health and disease control

through lectures, assigned readings, films, discussions, and written tests and assignments.

Throughout the course, we focus on thinking and writing about the ways in which human responses

to disease and culture-specific perceptions of health have played, and continue to play, a

significant role in processes of globalization. One of the primary aims of this course is to utilise

trans-cultural perspectives of health, sickness, and healing to analyse critically not only how our

ancestors around the world confronted illness and plagues, but the rationales and strategies used

to control disease today and in the future. Other objectives include: 1) examining

interrelationships among ill-health, social structures, technological innovation, and cultural

meanings, and, 2) developing research skills (e.g., locating & evaluating information sources).

Seminar in History Across Borders - Commerce, Culture, Warfare,

and Society in the Era of the Atlantic Slave Trade Eda KRANAKIS

Subject for Fall 2020 : This seminar will explore the Atlantic slave trade as the core of a centuries-

long system of globalization based on a repetitive circuit of organized violence, which in turn

shaped warfare, trade, politics, and culture across continents. We will analyze factors that brought

the rise and fall of this system and how the slave trade was linked to matters ranging from piracy

and naval warfare to food, music, religion, and the environment.


In this seminar, students will investigate complex problems and issues that cut across spatial,

temporal, and disciplinary boundaries, drawing on a variety of theoretical approaches. Students

will produce original work, using primary and archival sources reflecting the interdisciplinary

nature of the course.




Seminar in Canadian History - Canadian Digital History Professor to be determined (replacing professor)

Subject for Fall 2020 :In this seminar, students will examine what digital tools and practices can

Seminar in Comparative History - Settler States and Indigenous

Nations Daniel RÜCK

Subject for Fall 2020 : This seminar course focuses on the history of Indigenous peoples in the

context of the global expansion of European empires and settler colonies in the eighteenth and

nineteenth centuries. Course readings are on the tools of geographic and demographic expansion

that were central to European empires, and devastating to Indigenous peoples around the world.

In particular, readings and discussion will explore the myriad ways in which European settlers

and colonial governments worked to take Indigenous lands and resources. Students will take an

active part in leading discussions and will write an article-length research paper using primary

sources.





Seminar in Comparative History - History of Women and Gender in

Islam Ryme SEFERDJELI

Subject for Fall 2020 : This seminar examines the status and position of women in Islam from the

rise of Islam to the present. Themes include women during the time of the prophet; women during

the medieval period; women, gender and sexuality in the Qur’an, the Sunnah and Islamic law;

historical and contemporary debates about women and the construction of gender in Islam; and

women’s participation in the interpretation of religion and law. The place of women and gender

in contemporary Muslim societies will also be addressed. Generally, the seminar will strike a

balance between chronological and thematical approaches.



HIS 4141 C00 (3 units)

Seminar in Comparative History - Canada-USA Relations Since 1867 Galen PERRAS

Subject for Fall 2020 : This seminar course will examine the history of Canadian-American

relations from Confederation to the present day. Among the topics to be discussed include: the

Treaty of Washington; the Alaska Boundary Dispute; Reciprocity in 1911; the interwar period;

Mackenzie King and Franklin Roosevelt; the Second World War; aspects of the Cold War

relationship; the war in Vietnam; and Free Trade.




Seminar in American History - Black Lives Matter: African

American Activism in 20th Century America Heather MURRAY

Subject for Fall 2020 : This seminar explores the origins and antecedents of the Black Lives

Matter movement in the United States. We will ask what—if anything—this movement has in

common with other black activist movements and rights culture of the twentieth century, such as

anti-lynching activism, civil rights, and Black Power, given BLM’s interest in intersectionality

(especially the relationship between race and sexuality), and its animation by American crime

policies in the 1990s. In other words, I hope this course allows us an opportunity to meditate upon

both the limitations and the illuminations of studying contemporary history, and how it is or is not

informed by longer durée narratives. We will read an array of historiography (scholarly pieces

that combine historical narrative and an analysis of primary sources: what you will be producing


in your research papers!), critical race theory, sexuality studies, legal studies, as well as political

and cultural theory. And we will situate BLM and other activist movements in global contexts.

Central themes will include the spectacle of violence, racialized bodies, the politicization of crime

and incarceration, the nature of social and cultural activism, internal colonialism, consumer

culture and deindustrialization, as well as twentieth century ideas about racial and sexual

“minorities”.




Seminar in European History - The Spanish Civil War Professor to be determined

Subject for Fall 2020 : In this seminar, students will examine the causes and the course of the

civil war that ravaged Spain in the 1930s, as well as the conflict's global reach.

rôle des femmes et des esclaves; la nouvelle économie post-mercantiliste; le monde de l’éducation

et de la culture; et le développement des discours nationaliste, exceptionnaliste, et universaliste.

français et en anglais. Les étudiants feront des présentations orales et une dissertation.

Réservé aux étudiants et étudiantes inscrits au Baccalauréat spécialisé, bidisciplinaire ou à

la majeure en histoire.


Séminaire en histoire de l’Europe - Culture et société soviétique sous

Staline (1920s-1940) Corinne GAUDIN

Sujet de l’automne 2020 : L’URSS sous Staline incarnait à la fois le rêve libérateur d’une

alternative et une solution aux injustices du capitalisme et le cauchemar d’une dictature

soumettant l’individu à la volonté d’un gouvernement brutal. Comment expliquer ce paradoxe?

Ce séminaire examinera les efforts du gouvernement bolchevique à bâtir une société et une culture

entièrement nouvelle à l’époque stalinienne. Nous aborderons les grandes questions de l’histoire

de la dictature stalinienne. Par exemple : comment expliquer l’ampleur de la répression ?

comment c'est soldé l'effort de transformer la culture? pourquoi et comment les autorités ont-ils

transformé le système économique et quel impacte cela a eu sur les citoyens ? comment les gens

s’orientaient-ils dans un tel système? Nous nous pencherons - surtout à partir de sources, telles

que des mémoires, lettres, rapports de police, pamphlets, etc. - sur les problèmes d’application de

la politique gouvernementale et des résistances dans divers domaines (par exemple: la famille,

l’art, l’industrialisation, la politique envers les minorités nationales, etc.)

History Labs - Use and Abuse of History

Corinne GAUDIN / Heather MURRAY

Subject for Winter 2021 : "I believe, in fact, that we are all suffering from a consumptive historical

fever and at the very least should recognize that we are afflicted with it." The historical fever about

which philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in 1873 was a reflection on how history was used,

and rang an alarm at how it could be abused. But what constitutes uses and abuses? How has

history been used or abused? How do groups, individuals, and politicians mobilize the past to

orient themselves in the present? This course will explore the instrumentalization and

politicization of history, and how and why particular historical narratives come to circulate and

dominate. Our approach will be case studies. For example: uses and abuses of history in

propaganda, pop cultural and cultural representations; political nostalgia; as well as in the realm

of prehistory, ancient and medieval history; conflicts, genocide and violence; medicine and public

health history. This course will allow us to think about concepts of truth and distortion, a

particularly urgent reflection given the current prevalence of equally valid and competing truths.

Using a hand-on approach, based on primary sources, this course will introduce the students to the

different aspects of historical research and enable them to understand the discipline at the

university level.

From Source to Text - Popular Culture Meets Political History

(Focus on the “American Century”) Eda KRANAKIS

Subject for Winter 2021 : This course will explore the use of popular and material culture sources

to write political history. Partly our aim will be to study how to use and evaluate such sources,

ranging from food and fashion to music, mass media, social media, etc. We will also consider how

a wider and more systematic use of such sources might reconfigure political history.

Historians extract useable information from often fragmented material created for various other

purposes. This course will provide students with the tools needed to handle specific types of

sources (textual, visual, oral or material) or introduce them to specific methods and approaches

(such as geographic information system, quantitative methods, micro-history etc.) Topics will

vary from section to section and the course can be repeated for credit if the content is different.

Reserved for the students registered in the Honours, Joint Honours, Major in history.

Prerequisites: (HIS 2100, 3 course units in history (HIS) at the 2000 level, 9 course units

in history (HIS)) or ((PHI 2197 or HIS 2197), 6 course units in Philosophy (PHI) at the

Selected Topics in Latin American History - Cultural History of

U.S. - Latin American Relations

Alberto FLOREZ-MALAGON

Subject for Winter 2021 : This class examines the links between culture and power in the history

of U.S.-Latin American relations. Inter-American cultural manifestations are many and diverse

but always interwoven with political intentions and consequences.

This approach reveals how cultural mediators shaped the historical encounters between Latin

Americans and North Americans. The power relations attending such mediations are

asymmetrical, but communication typically flowed both ways, creating diverse transnational

arrangements and forms of power.

Particular attention will be given to a materially grounded, processual analysis of U.S. interaction

with Latin American politics, societies and cultures. With that objective we will study cultural

practices and institutions such as folklore, mass media, leisure pastimes, and spectacle as well as

the broader cultural realm of aspirations, beliefs, values, attitudes, tastes, and habits that shape

these histories.

Study of a theme related to the history of Latin America and/or the Caribbean.

History Across Borders - 20th Century Human Rights Meredith TERRETTA

Subject for Winter 2021 :This semester we will subject the concept of universal human rights to

historical inquiry. We will consider how human rights emerged before the Universal Declaration

of Human Rights was adopted at the United Nations on 10 December 1948. And we will consider

what became of human rights in the decades after the Declaration.

Using specific case studies and primary documents, and with particular emphasis on transnational

activism linking the Global North and South, students will probe the strategies that various

postwar activists employed to make human rights protections matter despite the strictures of

national sovereignty and non-interference characteristic of the Cold War era. Students will also

consider what lasting effects this period had on the human rights movement as a whole

This course explores problems and issues that cut across spatial, temporal, and disciplinary

boundaries. Study of historical connections and processes. Examination of various national

experiences within a transregional context. Coursework and assignments will provide students

concrete opportunities to practice interdisciplinary learning and research.

Selected Topics in History Across Borders – Global History of

Ecological Imperialism, 1815-1908 Thomas BOOGAART

Subject for Winter 2021 : The modern world was born in a violent nineteenth century collision.

Europe’s early industrialization, and parallel revolutions in transportation and communications,

created a global disequilibrium that resulted in an imperial wave crashing over the non-western

world from 1815-1908. Ecological imperialism was a key dimension of the Western ‘civilizing

mission.’ Throughout the non-Western World, inside previously remote continental interiors and

distant village communities, Western agents sought to improve ‘backward’ indigenous practices

and intensify indigenous production by introducing exotic crops, coercive laws and taxes and

infrastructure and coupling remote agro-ecosystems to a world market focused upon profit and

surplus commodity production.

This course surveys the ideological frameworks that mediated coercive modernization, the

technologies, infrastructural projects and institutions imposed upon indigenous peoples in various

world regions and their divergent impact upon fragile ecosystems. Exploring the ecology of empire

from a global perspective, this course reveals how western colonialism was ecologically

conditioned and mediated, with select case studies exploring particular locales, industries and

ecological themes: successive gold rushes, felling the temperate forests, genocide along the

frontier, cultivating the river deltas, railway imperialism, exotic species invasion, big game

hunting and conservation.

In this thematically organized course, students will further analyze problems and issues that cut

across spatial, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries. Mastery of knowledge of historical


connections and processes that span regions and fields of study, from an interdisciplinary

perspective. Course may be repeated if themes vary.




Selected Topics in European History – Revolutionary Moments in the

French Revolution Sylvie PERRIER

Subject for Winter 2021 : Can a single event last for ten years? In that course we will deconstruct

the major phases of the French Revolution (1789-1799) to uncover “revolutionary moments” that

contributed to change specific aspects of the French society at the end of the eighteenth century.

We will review the rich historiography of the topic and focus on primary sources to better

understand how the political system changed, but also how the social hierarchy was reshaped and

individual lives transformed during the revolutionary period.




Selected Topics in European History – Perpetrators, Victims and

Bystanders Jan GRABOWSKI

Subject for Winter 2021 : The course/seminar will focus on various aspects of the Shoah, or the

extermination of European Jews. You will examine the historiographical debates surrounding this

topic and will thoroughly familiarize yourselves with the pertinent historical literature. In our

work we will pay particular attention to the relationships between the Jews and the local non-

Jewish populations before, during and after the Holocaust.

Seminar in Canadian History – From pewter dishes to chamber pots

and washing machines; Were there ever “consumer revolutions” in

Canada? Béatrice CRAIG

Subject for Winter 2021 : 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 in the western world and Japan 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:

Does it matter to know consumption has a history and why?

What do we know about the history of consumption in Canada (starting with New France).

How has consumption evolved over time? Any turning points? Were there revolutions or

merely evolutions?

More specifically, who purchased what, when and where? How did this change over time?

What do consumption patterns tell us about the meaning(s) 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 have Canadian historians approached the subject? What aspects of consumption have

attracted their attention? Why those rather than others?




Seminar in Medical History – The Plague Pandemics Professor to be determined

Subject for Winter 2021 : We are all familiar with the Black Death, but plague has played a role

in human history since the Late Neolithic and Bronze Ages and continues to be a threat in the

world today. Through an in-depth use of primary sources, this course offers an interdisciplinary

examination of our long history with this disease, and its influence on literature, religion, politics,

medicine and science, and historiography.




Seminar in Asian History – Comparative Nationalism and Modernity

in Southeast Asia Professor to be determined

Subject for Winter 2021 : This seminar is designed to provide students with an historical

understanding of nationalist sentiment and perceptions of “modernity” in eight Southeast Asian

countries. Students will examine historical and theoretical notions of nationalism, as well as how

literature and art are appropriate manifestations of these sentiments.





Seminar in African History – Battleground Africa: Cold War

Burning Hot? Professor to be determined

Subject for Winter 2021 : This seminar examines African people’s global historical engagement

in the context of the Cold War era. While the central drama of the Soviet-U.S. standoff forms

necessary background, we will focus on Africa’s place in the Cold War, considering open conflict

(hot war) and the diplomacy and competition (cold war) that underwrote or co-existed with those

conflicts. In this, we shed approaches that set the Cold War largely on the Moscow-Washington

axis and focus on perspectives grounded in Africa.

The topics we examine will include not only armed conflict but also culture and economic

development, educational and other exchanges, and political formations and alliances.

Background in African history is desirable though not required. Some experience with twentieth-

century history is strongly recommended, with HIS 3315 (The Cold War) being enormously useful.




Seminar in Historical Methodology – A Microhistory Research

Seminar Nicole ST-ONGE

Subject for Winter 2021 : Holmes to Watson: "Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but

concentrate yourself upon the details.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Case of Identity.

Holmes to Watson: "You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles. " Sir Arthur

Conan Doyle, The Bascombe Valley Mystery. (quoted in Ed Muir Observing trifles)

Microhistory is a particular methodological approach to the study and writing of history. The aim

of microhistory is to present especially peculiar moments in the past by focusing on the lives and

activities of a discrete person or group of people. By illuminating the trials and tribulations of

ordinary people in their everyday lives, microhistory aims to show both the extent of and the limits

upon human agency, i.e. the ability of individuals to make meaningful choices and undertake

meaningful actions in their lives. By analyzing what might often seem to modern readers as strange

and bizarre events and socially marginal peoples, microhistory offers a more inclusive

understanding of who and what matters within the discipline of history.

This seminar will survey the different approaches to the practice of microhistory. It will also

examine the various intellectual and methodological debates surrounding it. Students will be

introduced to some of the key books and articles that have helped shape microhistory. However,

the bulk of the seminar will be spent with students defining, elaborating and carrying through a

small (online) archival-based research project using microhistory as their methodological and


conceptual approach. Each student will choose and analyse a ‘famous’ trial, and the documents

it generated, to try and understand a society, its people at a specific key juncture. These trials will

be chosen from the online ‘Famous Trials’: “the Web’s largest and most visited collection of

original essays, trial transcripts and exhibits, maps, images, and other materials relating to the

greatest trials in world history”. The analysis of their chosen trial will allow students to test the

relative strength and weaknesses of microhistory as a conceptual and methodological approach.




Seminar in European History – Politics in 18th C. Britain Richard CONNORS

Subject for Winter 2021 : This course consists of a number of thematic seminars designed to build

upon your knowledge of the ‘long-eighteenth century’ (1688-1832) in British history. We meet

weekly to discuss readings on specific topics of current historiographical importance. Such themes

will include the nature of politics, the rise of party, the confessional state, law and authority, and

protest and popular political participation. A background knowledge of the period is highly

recommended.




Seminar in European History – Borders, Mobility, Culture, and

Identity in an Integrating Europe Eda KRANAKIS

Subject for Winter 2021 : The history of European integration is about transcending borders—

physical borders and “borders of the mind”. It is about rethinking and remaking borders of

language, culture, community, and nation. We will explore the historical process of constructing

this emergent, transnational European space, how transnational mobility has been promoted

within that space, and efforts to create a European identity along with a supranational system of

governance. We will look at topics such as immigration, transnational lifestyles, popular culture,

‘unwanted’ mobility, the culture of transborder regions, and reflections on Europe’s “Other(s)”

and their role in shaping nationalism, identity, citizenship, and other systems of inclusion and

exclusion.

Séminaire en histoire du Canada - Radicalisme et conservatisme au

Québec et au Canada français des Rébellions à la Révolution

tranquille (1837-1970) Michel BOCK

Sujet de l’hiver 2021 : La période 1837-1970 représente un moment de changements sociaux

déterminants dans l’histoire du Québec et du Canada français. Les décennies qui vont des

Rébellions de 1837-1838 à la Révolution tranquille des années 1960 peuvent être considérées

comme un véritable laboratoire idéologique, social et politique à l’intérieur duquel les acteurs et

les actrices de l’histoire se sont interrogés de diverses manières sur l’avènement de la modernité,

sur ses promesses et sur ses échecs. Elles permettent aussi aux historiens et historiennes de mieux

comprendre la transformation du rapport qu’ont entretenu le Québec et le Canada français avec

le monde en adaptant à leur propre contexte des courants idéologiques transnationaux d’une

grande variété.

L’objectif de ce séminaire sera double. Il s’agira, dans un premier temps, de comprendre le lien

entre le changement social que connaissent le Québec et le Canada français des Rébellions à la

Révolution tranquille, et la façon dont on en a débattu, parfois fiévreusement, dans les arènes

politique et idéologique. Parmi les thèmes retenus, notons les suivants :

le républicanisme, le libéralisme et l’ultramontanisme;

le nationalisme et ses transformations;

l’humanisme chrétien, l’anticléricalisme et le traditionalisme religieux;

les droites radicales (fascismes, corporatismes, anti-communisme);

le socialisme, le marxisme-léninisme et le radicalisme ouvrier;

le féminisme et ses transformations;

l’influence de la décolonisation et du tiers-mondisme;

la contre-culture et la démocratie participative, etc.


Dans un deuxième temps, ce séminaire permettra de mieux saisir la place qu’occupe la période

1837-1970 dans la mémoire collective, et d’analyser les principales interprétations que les

historiens et historiennes en ont proposées, les plus récentes (et les plus iconoclastes) remettant

souvent en question plusieurs des idées reçues à son sujet.




Séminaire en histoire comparée – Histoire du sionisme et de l’État

d’Israël Pierre ANCTIL

Sujet de l’hiver 2021 : Ce cours examine les facteurs historiques complexes qui ont favorisé

l’émergence du sionisme dans le monde juif européen de la fin du XIXe siècle, y compris les formes

multiples que ce projet politique a revêtu à l’époque contemporaine.

Après avoir couvert l’histoire européenne et les processus d’émancipation des différentes

populations juives du continent, le cours se déplace ensuite au Moyen-Orient pour analyser les

conditions objectives qui ont présidé à la fondation de l’État d’Israël en 1948. Sont abordés en

particulier la guerre d’indépendance de 1848-49, la formation des institutions politiques

israéliennes, la guerre des Six jours et les enjeux fondamentaux du conflit israélo-palestinien.
