Essay
Length: 2500 words
Answer one of the following questions:
- Biographical history: Choosing an individual from the course or your own research, write an essay about their life and experiences in historical context. How does their life story illuminate the contact zones of cross-cultural history? Consider gender, ‘race’ and colonial history in your answer.
- Using an example from the course, consider how the figure of the ‘go-between’ can be understood in cross-cultural world history. What did he or she face in the contact zone with Europeans, was he or she a betrayer of their own people or a remarkable individual able to see beyond their own circumstances…or somewhere in between the two?
- Considering the variety of early encounters with ‘native’ peoples, reflect on the role of interpersonal and cultural exchanges between locals and Europeans. How did these exchanges contribute to or mitigate against the violence of colonisation? You might choose early Sydney as your case study.
- Refer to one case study either from the course or of your own choosing, reflect on the changing representation of no-western peoples and cultures in museums.
