Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man.” This course will in some ways defy the strictures of Utnapishtim in returning to the questions that rest at the centre of world mythology. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is the nature of the cosmos? What is the relationship between the individual, the family, the community and the transcendent? How are life and death intertwined? We will discuss such questions in a philosophical context but the thrust of the course will be to use an historical and comparative framework that analyzes particular mythic traditions. Rather than attempt to encompass all of world mythology within a one-term course, we will focus upon the myths of Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Northern Europe, Mesoamerica and the Pacific Northwest as case studies.

Perhaps it conjures the treachery of the Galactic Empire in Star Wars? Maybe it evokes current critiques of the American Empire or the rise and reach of multinational corporate empires like Walmart, ExxonMobil, Apple, or Microsoft (to name a few)? Or possibly you think about the reach, wealth, and legacies of the Roman or British Empires? Whatever the thought: empire and the history of empire matter. Though we live in the age of the nation-state, empire has been the standard under which most humans have lived, dreamed, organized, and, sometimes, rebelled. Further, the consequences of empire reverberate to this day in the nation-state (a reaction to empire), globalization (a re-imagining of empire), colonialism (a tool of empire), and anti-colonialism (a response to empire). This course will broadly examine the history of the world’s “great” empires. In doing so, it will compare and contrast such empires to consider and define the idea and character of empire. It will explore notions of how empires came to be, justified their existence, succeeded, and (often) failed. It will also consider the role of the colonized within empire exploring how empires related to such peoples but also how the colonized themselves experienced, participated in, and resisted empire.

Recent examples abound from Black Lives Matters to protests by the Wetʼsuwetʼen or Native Americans at Standing Rock to calls for changes to the names of sports franchises. In Canada, we continue to grapple with the legacies of colonialism against Indigenous peoples which have created reserve systems, the Indian Act, and a host of assimilatory practices. More broadly there exists a “Third World” throughout former colonial contexts in the Americas, Africa and Asia. The reverberations of imperialism and colonialism are constant and ever more apparent. This course will explore the nature of imperialism and colonialism largely in the context of the world’s European empires (and their successor nation-states) from the 16th century onward. It will seek to define the nature and characteristics of imperialism and colonialism by exploring the breadth and scope through which they were and are employed in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

He wondered about where he was. Then he saw a scaffold and gallows. “Thank god, “he exhaled, “I am in a civilized country.” What is the relationship between civilization, crime and punishment? Why have dead bodies been the symbol of law at some times and places but not at others? Why did criminal trials begin? How can we account for the replacement of torture and the “bloody scaffold” with the rise of the penitentiary? This course will ask such questions as it provides an historical perspective on changing definitions of deviancy, societal reactions to violent or criminal activity, and public policies to counteract prohibited behaviour. The time span and geographical range will be vast; we will range from the Mesopotamia of 3,000 BCE to 21st-century North America.
