HIST 114a local context, global process: An Introduction to the iberian colonial world Course Description This course introduces the history of the Iberian colonial world from the late medieval through the early modern eras, approximately 1300 through 1750. It examines global processes connecting Eurasia, Africa and the Americas during these centuries, focusing on themes such as empire, trade, technology, labor relations, and culture. The course also analyzes how the peoples of Africa, Latin America, Spain and Portugal constructed and responded to the first phase of globalization in world history, a contested term that we will define and debate throughout the semester. We will conclude by discussing the lingering effects of this era in more recent times. History 114 is designed as a hands on seminar that will introduce students to the study of history at the college level. In addition to reading monographs that share the excitement of recent research, we will work with primary sources (i.e. historical materials from the era under consideration), literature and film. The instructor believes that history is most interesting as a craft involving original analysis and creative writing. Thus, assignments have been developed as a progression aimed at developing these skills, which are necessary for practicing historians (and especially those thinking about becoming history majors at Haverford College!). Recommended reading The professor believes that adequate context for evaluating monographs, primary sources, literature and film is provided in the assigned readings and lectures. However, those students desiring more background information can consult appropriate sections in the following textbook that has been placed on reserve in Haverfords Magill Library.

Class participation means contributing your presence, thoughts and voice to class meetings. Obviously, this cant be done if you arent in class! To participate effectively requires that one keep up with readings and lectures, think about the issues posed by the materials of the week, and discuss the concerns raised by readings, lectures, film and documents. You will also be required to write eight weekly responses to questions on the assigned readings. These responses are not to exceed one page and will be graded on a "+, ", "- basis and count for 10% of your class participation grade. Response questions will be handed out at the last class meeting of each week. Your responses are due at the first meeting of the week, prior to our discussions. It is possible to write one-page response papers for all weeks except 1, 6, 7 (no readings, research presentations and paper due, 8 (spring break), and 12 (film review due). Thus, there are 10 possible weeks for writing short response papers and you may choose to skip two as best fits your schedule. You are responsible for eight one-page response papers over the course of the semester, four of which must be completed by the beginning of Week 10! The Power Point research presentation should introduce your findings concerning the historical context of late medieval Spain. You may use other types of presentation software with the instructors approval. The intermediate length 5-7 pg. research paper will research an issue raised by Homero Aridjis literary recreation of late medieval Spain. All papers must be typed or computer printed with standard fonts and margins and must have proper scholarly apparatus as demonstrated in the Mary Lynn Rampolla guide. This will include proper footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography or works cited page. It is your responsibility to make a hard copy (printed or photocopied) of all your papers in case your work is lost, misplaced or dissolves into cyberspace!!! Late work will receive at least one full grade penalty (thus a 4.0 becomes a 3.0, and so on). In rare instances extensions may be granted, but they will be short and must be negotiated with the instructor well in advance. The short film review must follow the guidelines for using film to understand history as discussed in Rampolla. The intermediate length final essay involves no additional research but rather the careful consideration of the assigned materials from Units II and III, Weeks 9-15. The assignment will be handed out during our final class meeting.
