L97 IAS 488Europe on the Move: Mobility in the 19th Century3.0 Units
Description:The long 19th century was a time of radical changes in all spheres of society. Numerous innovations ushered in an irrevocable acceleration of globalization. The revolution in transport and communication - which started with improved mail services, the construction of a modern road network, the steam ship and the telegraph - would eventually cumulate in the development of a European railroad system. Railroads proved to be important carriers of globalization, contributing to a dramatic boost of worldwide economic exchange. The rising mobility of ever larger population groups was followed by an international exchange of ideas, technical and cultural innovation, workforce and tourists as part of a "fundamental experience of modernity" (W. Kaschuba). This course deals with the impact of the mobility revolution on social and cultural changes in East Central Europe before the First World War - focusing on Prussia/the German Reich and the Russian Empire. After a brief introduction into the concept of mobility history and the Prussian and Russian societies of the long 19th century we will discuss mobility opportunities before the railroad revolution. Thereafter we will focus on the emergence of railroad nets in Prussia and Russia. A focus will be on the role of mobility in literature/arts and for changing urban and rural landscapes. In a last step the students will work on the international aspects of railroad travel, especially tourism.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
