Description: | |||
This unit takes the perspective of macro-history to view the development of human beings and societies in relation to their environment (the planet Earth and other life-forms) and to time (scales of past and present). The purpose is to provide a framework, a coherent vision of the past and the spaces that humans inhabit and shape, in order to contextualise the varied micro-histories more often studied in the increasingly specialised academic disciplines. Particular attention will be given to the theory of history, with critical analysis applied to models of progress and decay. Full Unit Outline | |||
