Teaching – spring semester of 2020
The Dean decides
- The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will temporarily transfer to distance teaching and examination by using the online platform Canvas or the tool Zoom. Exceptions are possible with consideration to e.g. group sizes. The change will occur starting March 18 2020 and will persist until the recommendations relating to the corona epidemic change.
The course gives an introduction to the phenomenon of globalization from an archaeological and historical perspective. The following themes will be covered: conditions and driving forces for the globalizing processes, the exchange patterns of the “pre-European” world, the European expansion from the 15th century, cultural encounters and hybridity, merchant capitalism and the East India trade, slavery and plantations and the life of the non-articulate groups of humanity. Special emphasis is given to ecological globalization and to the threat to the global heritage caused by climate change.
