HIST 505 - History, Memory, Subjectivity

Considers a portion of the very extensive, and growing, literature on issues of memory, subjectivity, and historical evidence. “Memory” is taken in a broad sense, to include not only the recall and narrativization of experience but also tradition and commemoration, since in the historical literature these different senses of memory are often mixed together. Students must find their own paper topics, and are encouraged to discuss the course with the instructor in advance. (IR)
