HISTORY 7N: Humanitarianism and Its Histories

This seminar will explore when and under what circumstances humanitarian sensibilities, including the idea of human rights, became powerful components of modern politics and ethical thinking. Far from being a straightforward ideology, humanitarianism has been invoked in myriad ways ¿ both idealistically and cynically ¿ in the course of modern history, in debates over phenomena as varied as slavery, colonialism, world war, genocide, famine, and immigration. As a result, contemporary ethical motivations for assisting those in need remain deeply shaded by humanitarianism¿s long engagement with political categories, ideologies, and practices of the past, including Christianity, race, liberalism, capitalism, and imperialism. We will examine the shifting narratives and media strategies that activists, NGOs, and governments have employed to draw widespread attention to crises and abuses from the late eighteenth century to the present.

HISTORY 196: Gandhi in His Time and Ours

(Same as HISTORY 96. History majors and others taking 5 units, register for 196.) Place the paradox of Gandhi in context of global convulsions of 20th century. Gandhi lived across continents; maturing in South Africa, struggling in India, attaining celebrity in Europe. As leader of masses, his method of Satyagraha was distinctively at odds with his times. Yet, he also privileged sacrifice, dying, even euthanasia. In a world beset by fear and war, Gandhi's complex theory of nonviolence is compelling. What kind of nonviolent politics did Gandhi envision after Fascism, Auschwitz, Hiroshima, and Pakistan?

And what is at stake in different constructions of identity?In addressing these issues, students will also engage in social inquiry. They will be asked to understand how political ideology, economic organization, and social forces have shaped the character of Sino-Korean relations. What are the economic and political institutions that influence these relations in each time period?
