In the second part we will consider different approaches useful to study the history of international organizations; we will also engage with the usefulness of labels and ‘turns’ in contemporary history. In the third and final part of this class we will take cue from my research on the history of Western humanitarianism to debate approaches, sources, methods and methodologies as well as the risks related to the setting up of a research field.

Rome lezen: de toeristische stad
14 t/m 28 mei 2018 | Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut te Rome
In de cursus maken deelnemers op basis van programmatische teksten en case studies kennis met een breed palet aan (inter)disciplinaire invalshoeken en methodes om de impact van toerisme en pelgrimage op de ruimtelijke, sociaal-economische en culturele dynamiek van de stad te analyseren. Vervolgens zullen we aan de hand van combinaties van zelf te kiezen bronnen – bv. reisverslagen, gidsen, tijdschriften, prenten, schilderijen, foto’s, films, archieven van toeristische organisaties en lokale overheden – onderzoek doen naar de betekenis van Rome voor toeristen en de betekenis van toerisme voor Rome. In gesprekken met stadsbestuurders, journalisten, touroperators en vertegenwoordigers van de erfgoedwereld zullen we ten slotte van gedachten wisselen over de uitdagingen van de toeristische stad, en de bijdrage die wij met ons cultuurhistorische onderzoek daaraan kunnen leveren.

Lecture – Professor Nigel Smith (Princeton University)
12 December 2017 | University of Amsterdam
This lecture will discuss the nature of the 17th-century literary public spheres in different places, and their mutual relationships. Did the cities of Holland, especially Amsterdam, enjoy a different quality of public sphere than London, Paris or Madrid? How did traveling writers experience the public spheres of their host countries? How were geographic and language borders crossed in poetry and drama, for instance by poets writing in one language on a political theme but far from home in the territory of another tongue?
