HIST 184E: EURASIAN EXCHANGES
University of California, Santa Barbara
Eurasia is the largest geographical feature on earth. It gave birth to the earliest civilizations and fostered the antecedents of many modern cultures . Yet, in much historical writing, the regions of Eurasia are treated as is olated units with independent trajectories. This is an artifact of national ism and ignores the key role that trans-Eurasian interaction played in worl d history. This course investigates the movement of people, technology, ide as, and images across Eurasia from 3,000 BC to the present. It encourages o ne to think of a past world without national boundaries, a vast interconnec ted organism inside which materials and ideas were transmitted in all direc tions, adapted to the cultural and environmental needs of specific areas.
