Course
Description:
This
course will take a comparative, thematic approach to the major
political and social developments in twentieth-century Europe. We will
focus on the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy and the
Soviet Union, concentrating on the themes of violence,
surveillance, consensus-building and trauma. In the process, we will
examine the impact of the two World Wars on politics and society in
Europe, the reactions to various moments of cultural upheaval, and the
various strategies and ideologies of dictatorial power. We will
conclude with a discussion of the demise of totalitarian regimes in
Europe in the context of a brief outline of the Cold War.
