HIST 193.3 (97)

History Matters Topics in Canadian History

 CRN: 86170 

Term: 1 (3 Lecture hours)

 Time: Thursdays, 9:00am - 11:50am 

Professor: Jason Zorbas

Description:

The millennial generation is usually viewed as those born between 1980 and 1995.  These years correspond to dramatic changes in Canadian society.  This course will examine the many ways, socially, culturally, economically, politically and internationally, that Canada changed during these two decades.  We will examine how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms fundamentally changed Canada’s legal system and had a profound effect on Canadian society.  How many women were trying to deal with the “double shift”, working all day and then returning home and being expected to handle the lion's share of the domestic chores.  How Indigenous Peoples put pressure on the Canadian government to end a century of colonialism and explore how the Guerin decision, the Oka Crisis and RCAP contributed to this.  We’ll also discuss the intersection of gender, media and culture through the prism of sport and the important changes that were occurring at both the amateur and professional levels in Canada during this time.  We’ll turn our graze outward and explore the impact on Canada of the end of the Cold War and the acceleration of globalization.  Additionally, we’ll examine the political changes that occurred, looking at the rise of regionalism and the near-death experience of the Quebec referendum of 1995.

Note:

A maximum of nine credit units of 100-level HIST may be taken for credit. Only six of these credit units may count toward a History major or minor. The remaining three credit units will count as a junior elective in Requirement 7.

HIST 194.3 (96)

History Matters Ideas and Culture

 CRN: 26689 

Term: 2 (3 Lecture hours)

 Time: Mondays, 5:30pm - 8:20pm 

Professor: Clay Burlingham

Description:

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, did not end until 1815.  Its effect was profound, as it not only transformed France, but increasingly came to engulf Europe, with even the ideas it unleashed, reverberating through the subsequent 19^th century, as liberty became liberalism, fraternity transformed into nationalism, and equality emerged as socialism.  Further, the French Revolution proved to be the gateway to the modern world, as democracy truly devolved from here, just as did the idea of the rights of the citizen, in place of the duties of the subject. Even the notion of what it meant to be on the political left or right, began with the French Revolution.  At the same time, this revolution that produced freedom of thought, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly, also had a darker side, particularly between 1789 and 1794.

At the beginning of it though, such did not seem possible, for those who began the revolution against the King, certainly did not want to overthrow him, much less execute him, but gradually as trust in the King, gave way to seeing him as resisting the Revolution, a working relationship, finally resulted in no relationship at all.  In fact the King was arrested on August 10, 1792, then put on trial that December, only to be executed on January 21, 1793.  The Queen, Marie Antoinette, did not find a more favorable fate, only a bit longer life, as she was too was tried in October of 1793, and executed on October 16. Those who executed each, were part of a group known as the Jacobins, and they thought such would unify the country behind the Republic that had replaced the Monarchy, but when it did not, they gradually came to seek cohesion, and enforce unity, through a policy of Terror.  This class looks to explore how a country moved from finding unity in a monarchy, to enforcing unity through a guillotine. It will examine the culture of suspicion that produced and was produced by this Terror, as patriotism was exalted over family and friends, while betraying one’s neighbor, if considered an enemy of the nation, was held up as a duty to the country.
