Kommentar

The 1920s and 1930s were marked by political, economic, and social upheaval, but also the promise of renewal. Imperial rule reached its zenith but faced worldwide resistance and calls for self-determination. Despite its name, the interwar period was an era of perpetual warfare, from Ireland to Ethiopia, from Nicaragua, to Palestine, to China. Yet the interwar years saw bold, sometimes utopist attempts at reorganizing international relations. They saw worldwide solidarity movements, “modern girls,” global biographies, and cosmopolitan mass media. But all this took place in a world increasingly formed by nationalist movements, authoritarianism, and economic protectionism. Fascism, at the same time nationalistic and transnational, as well as socialism reverberated around the globe, from Latin America to Africa and Asia. This seminar centers around the contradictions that formed the interwar period, tracing these different, sometimes contradictory, dynamics of global (dis)integration. Stepping out of the traditional Euro-American framework, each session is organized around specific thematic case studies from different world regions. Addressing everyday interaction as much as global politics, we will explore multidirectional flows while paying close attention to ruptures, disentanglement, and competing visions of global integration. In this way, we will challenge narratives of the interwar world as either a moment of “deglobalization” or “a world connecting” and instead develop a more nuanced understanding of globalization processes between the world wars.
