Abstract

This course gives an introduction to global history from the perspective of the economic anthropology of capitalism. Its aims are to explore key issues and approaches within this field of inquiry from the vantage point of a tension between political-economic (Marxist) and cultural (Weberian) perspectives in the historical and anthropological understanding of global inequalities. Topics of seminars include anthropological critique of the world systems theory, the war and free markets, subaltern modernity, Protestant and “ordinary”ethics, the political economy of state socialism, the social and economic condition of post-modernity, affective labor. This broad insight will be useful for both historians and students from other disciplines. The course is especially designed to give students deep insight into developments of the world between the 18th and 21st centuries.
