AM-117 Introduction to American Studies

This module provides an introduction to the discipline of American Studies, with a particular focus on the interdisciplinary scope of the subject. In addition to encouraging students¿ critical engagement with music, film, literature, visual culture, and history, it establishes a theoretical framework that will form the basis for more specialised study of the United States at levels 5 and 6. The module focuses on significant spaces in U.S. culture and history, from the ship and the plantation to the suburbs and the shopping mall, which are explored using various disciplinary lens and theoretical approaches.
AM-217 The Making of Transatlantic America

This multidisciplinary module seeks to offer a re-appraisal of early American history from the period c. 1607 through c. 1783 as well as understand other elements ¿ geography, economics, philosophy, literature, and politics ¿ that helped determine the shape of early American society. Students will examine some of the most dynamic topics of current early American scholarship and issues as they developed in an emerging world: the roles of race and gender; the changing nature of the colonial family; the sexual practices of early colonists; emigration and the `peopling¿ of empire; the role of the `frontier;¿ backcountry violence; crime; the formation of provincial elites; and uneasy international rivalries.
AM-218 Re-Thinking the South: Southern Culture and History, 1865-1955

What is the `South¿? Where is the `South¿? What makes someone a `southerner¿? Can the South ever be regarded as a single cultural or historical entity, or are there many `Souths¿? Does the `South¿ exist any longer? Much ink has been spilled over these questions amongst both historians and professional ¿South watchers.¿ Over the years, many ¿central themes¿ have been used to define and label the region: food, climate, folkways, music, popular culture, slavery, race relations, geography and even history itself. Questions of regional identity ¿ how southerners perceive themselves and their region (how others perceive both) and how this sense of regional identity has been molded by mythical interpretations of the past ¿ are some of the key themes in this interdisciplinary module. This module shall explore the history and culture of the American South from the end of the Civil War in 1865 through to the mid-1950s and the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement. The module shall consider the emergence of the ¿New¿ South; late C19th southern politics; the `Lost Cause;¿ the rise of `Jim Crow¿ and racial segregation; lynching; the Ku Klux Klan; the Scopes Trial; the South and the New Deal; the South and World War II; and the Brown Decision. We will also have opportunity examine aspects of southern literature and the representation of the South in film.
AM-335 The American Civil War in History and Memory

This interdisciplinary module shall examine some of the key issues and incidents pertinent to the singular event in American history that continues, some 150 years after its momentous conclusion, to hold considerable appeal for scholars and the general public alike: namely, the American Civil War. The armies of the Union and the Confederacy, formidable political statesmen such as Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, and the redoubtable military figures of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee shall be examined alongside other issues that are on the vanguard of recent research in Civil War studies. Through an examination of material from a wide variety of sources ¿ soldiers¿ diaries, letters, speeches, newspaper accounts, magazines, post-Civil War memoirs and reminiscences, novels, documentaries, and film ¿ this course will showcase social, political, economic, racial, gender and military history in ways that shall encourage students to draw their own conclusions as to the true legacy of the conflict and the vast human cost of war. Moreover, a suitably broad range of secondary interpretations on the subject from leading Civil War scholars shall also be examined in lectures and seminars to highlight changing interpretations of the conflict in the years following Lee¿s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse in 1865.
AM-336 American Studies Dissertation

The American Studies dissertation is a free-standing, 40-credit module for American Studies students only, which runs across both semesters of Level Three. Candidates conduct research upon a subject of their choice, devised in consultation with a member of staff teaching on the American Studies degree. The topic must fall within staff research and teaching interests.
FY-018 History, Memory and the Creation of Identity

In most human societies, history and memory are important in the creation of identity. For example, consider how recent political debates often involve debates about the relevance of particular strands of history (such as `empire¿) to modern society. This module explores these relationships from the ancient societies of Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the modern world. It is designed to provide Foundation Year students intending to pursue degrees in Classical Studies, Ancient History, Ancient History & Egyptology, American Studies, Medieval Studies, or History with an opportunity to reflect critically on what the past means and how we go about studying it.
HI-M39 Research Folder

This module is designed to help students to identify a dissertation topic appropriate to their interests and expertise, and to tackle the problems of methodology, develop the research techniques, and undertake the project planning which are the necessary preliminaries to researching and writing a 20,000 word dissertation.
WS-M93 Ghosts of the Confederacy: The Politics of Memory in the Post-Civil War American South

After the fall of the Confederacy in 1865 and through the final decades of the nineteenth century, one can see materialize the beginnings and locate the eventual maturation of white southern memory that would ultimately dictate the South¿s understanding of its past well into the twentieth century. For black southerners, Confederate defeat meant the end of slavery and the celebration of freedom and citizenship, encouraged black uplift and racial advancement, and provided an opportunity to evolve alternative interpretations of plantation slavery, the Civil War, and the legacy of Emancipation in appropriate commemorative observances. Conversely, those southern whites who faced the immediacy of the wars¿ conclusion possessed a strong sense of what was past and what was lost. The vigour behind the assertion of white southern identity after the Civil War found expression in the Lost Cause, at once an explanation for Confederate defeat propagated in the years following the conflict and an important emotional salve for white southerners through the Reconstruction era and beyond. Understanding these ¿ and other, related ¿ themes and issues will form the core of this interdisciplinary module.
