Part II Paper 14: Material culture in the early modern world
Course Convenor: Dr Helen Pfeifer
Lecturers: Dr Melissa Calaresu, Professor Mary Laven, Dr William O’Reilly, Dr Helen
Pfeifer, Professor Ulinka Rublack, Dr Emma Spary
This course engages with the vigorous historiographical debates on consumption from the Renaissance
to the Enlightenment in a global perspective. Key questions are to what extent this period witnessed a
“consumer revolution” and birth of “Western materialism”, or whether early modern Europe was just
one of several global centres in which the production and consumption of goods proliferated during
this period. Lectures focus not just on Europe, but the Ottoman Empire, Asia and North America. How
can historians find out about the meanings a greater number of things held for people in different
milieus and how contemporaries approached question of value? Did an engagement with things and
appearances constitute identities, so that personhood must therefore be thought of as emerging in
relation to objects and exchange, rather than as pre-existing entity? In what ways did the importance
of domestic interiors and cuisine change? Should we regard slaves and concubines as part of a
contemporary material culture, where you could own people?
Students will gain a fresh and stimulating grounding of the central themes in early modern history as
well as of methodological and theoretical frameworks of recent historical writing, which understands
the importance of looking at early modern Europe as part of a globalising world. The course allows
students to become familiar with the language and approaches of art history and anthropology as well
as with changes within economic and cultural history. Key issues interlink particularly closely with
HAP teaching on images, artefacts, cultural history, trans-national history, and gender history. In
addition to lectures and seminars there are handling sessions and museum visits in Cambridge, guided
by experts in the field. These visits provide a rare opportunity to closely look at objects to reflect on
what evidence they provide for historians.Course Outline: Seminars and supervisions
