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.
