  • World's Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna In
    World’s Largest Congress of Americanists to Take Place in Vienna in 2012 From 15 to 20 July 2012, the University of Vienna will host the 54 International Congress of Americanists (54 ICA). Around 5000 participants from Latin America and Europe are expected to gather in Austria for interdisciplinary exchange and international networking. The International Congress of Americanists returns to Vienna for the third time after 1908 and 1960, under the theme ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’. Prominent scholars from the fields of Humanities and Social Studies will gather here to present their latest research findings and engage in professional exchange with fellow researchers. The exceedingly high interest in this congress is reflected in the large number of approved symposia, which currently stands at 460. Around 5000 participants are expected to attend the 54 ICA, with an estimated 50% from Latin America. The various thematic fields covered by the congress range from Environment and Resource Politics over Economy to Human Rights. However, the fields of History and Social and Cultural Anthropology are the most widely represented. As illustrated by the motto of the congress, ‘Building Dialogues in the Americas’, the organizers’ aim is to bridge the regional and disciplinary divides within the research area. Each day there will be various symposia and workshops as well as keynote speeches and roundtable discussions. One such keynote speech will be held by the acclaimed Ecuadorian economist and former Minister of Energy and Mining, Alberto Acosta, also known as one of the advocates of the indigenous concept of ‘Buen Vivir’. This concept of ‘good life’, which has its origins in Latin America, is also starting to attract more and more interest in Europe.

  • Friedrich Katz 1927-2010
    TTTTTTT Friedrich Katz 1927-2010 I E l Dr. Friedrich Katz fue, sin duda, uno de los historiadores extranjeros que más contribuyeron al conocimiento y difu- sión de la historia de México, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Fue hijo único del matrimonio formado por Leo y Bronia Katz. Nació en Viena, Austria, en 1927, aunque sus primeros años transcu- rrieron en Berlín. A la llegada de Adolfo Hitler al poder en 1933, los miembros de la familia Katz se trasladaron a París, ahí concluyó Friedrich sus primeros estudios. Poco después, su padre fue expulsa- do de Francia por participar en diversas actividades antifascistas, ra- zón por la cual la familia se estableció durante un tiempo en Nueva York. Posteriormente, los Katz fijaron su residencia en México. Go- bernaba en ese entonces el general Lázaro Cárdenas, quien mantenía una política de puertas abiertas a los perseguidos políticos. El joven Friedrich continuó su formación escolar en México, al quedar inscrito en el Liceo Franco Mexicano. Según el testimonio que nos da el histo- riador John H. Coatsworth, “La familia escogió el Liceo porque Friedrich ya se expresaba en un francés fluido y apenas empezaba a aprender el español. Las escuelas alemanas todavía eran pro-nazis y antisemíticas por lo que estaban vedadas para él. Irónicamente el amor de Friedrich Katz hacia México y su pasión por la cultura y la historia comenzó a desarrollarse mientras aún hablaba alemán en casa y fran- cés en el aula, y cuando vivía entre refugiados europeos preocupados 233 T TZINTZUN • Revista de Estudios Históricos TTTTTTT por una conflagración mundial que nunca afectó a México directa- mente”.

  • HIST 5195-003 Readings in International and Global History
    HIST 5195-003 Readings in International and Global History Professor Brad Simpson, Spring 2017 Mo 4:30PM - 7:30PM WOOD 4A Course Description and Objectives: This seminar will examine global and international history during the twentieth century from a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches. Its purpose is to survey some of the most innovative recent scholarship in the field (and a few that should cause us to think more critically about how we approach the field), work informed by considerations of gender, race, ideology, culture, development, domestic politics, international relations theory, political economy and recently released archival material from the former socialist bloc, some of which goes well beyond existing conceptions of foreign relations history. This course should be of interest to graduate students pursuing a project in US foreign relations, regional history, or international, transnational, and global history or seeking analytic purchase in such histories for their dissertation. For half of the semester (7 weeks) students will prepare a 2-3 page paper as a way of getting discussion going. Please bring copies of your paper to class and post them on the blackboard site. In these short papers the emphasis should be first on explaining the main points of the reading, and secondarily on offering a critique of those points. "Critique" does not mean tearing a book apart, but assessing a book's value, its importance, its place in the literature, and after that, what more we might have expected from it. Final Paper: Students will prepare a substantial review essay (15-20 pp) on a thematic topic of your choice in the field of international history or U.S.

  • Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University
    Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University President 1999 LIJ r t i Robert C. Darnton The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu once remarked that Robert Damton’s principal shortcoming as a scholar is that he “writes too well.” This prodigious talent, which arouses such suspicion of aristocratic pretension among social scientists in republican France, has made him nothing less than an academic folk hero in America—one who is read with equal enthusiasm and pleasure by scholars and the public at large. Darnton’ s work improbably blends a strong dose of Cartesian rationalism with healthy portions of Dickensian grit and sentiment. The result is a uniquely American synthesis of the finest traits of our British and French ancestors—a vision of the past that is at once intellectually bracing and captivatingly intimate. fascination with the making of modem Western democracies came easily to this true blue Yankee. Born in New York City on the eve of the Second World War, the son of two reporters at the New York Times, Robert Damton has always had an immediate grasp of what it means to be caught up in the fray of modem world historical events. The connection between global historical forces and the tangible lives of individuals was driven home at a early age by his father’s death in the Pacific theater during the war. Irreparable loss left him with a deep commitment to recover the experiences of people in the past. At Phillips Academy and Harvard College, his first interest was in American history.
