Seminar on Global Society V
Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine Transformed, 1569-1939 (by Professor Richard Butterwick-Pawlikowski)
This intensive course charts the meanings of ‘Poland’ and ‘Polish’, ‘Lithuania’ and ‘Lithuanian’, and ‘Ukraine’ and ‘Ukrainian’ over an extended period. It covers the rise, decline, recovery, and fall of one Polish-Lithuanian political community and the struggles to resurrect another. It also explores the social and cultural transformations of the people who were at various times considered to constitute the ‘nation’. It does so in the context of changing Ruthenian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Prussian, and Jewish identities, whose threads intertwined with, and were later painfully disentangled from, those of ‘Poland’ and ‘Lithuania’.
The course begins with an introduction to the Polish-Lithuanian union as it developed from the late fourteenth century. It surveys the diverse lands, peoples and faiths of the Commonwealth in the ‘golden’ and ‘silver’ ages – the sixteenth and the first half of the seventeenth centuries, including the fertile south-eastern lands called Ukraine. The idea of citizenship provides students with a lens through which students will understand how and why the Commonwealth and its institutions functioned, before the Ukrainian Cossack revolt of 1648 inaugurated seven disastrous decades of continual warfare on the Commonwealth's own soil. The course then analyses the impact of military, demographic and economic calamities on that political culture, before considering renewed growth, the calls for reform that gathered strength from the 1730s. The first half of the course culminates with the Constitution of 3 May 1791 and the reasons for the final partition of the Commonwealth in 1795.
The second half of the course examines the implications for ‘Poland’ and ‘Lithuania’ of the efforts to resurrect the state under the Napoleonic aegis, and later by insurrection, as well as the endeavours to widen the degree of administrative autonomy permitted by the partitioning powers, and to protect and encourage the spread of Polish, Lithuanian, and/or Ukrainian culture. The course compares the ideologies and programmes of Polish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, and Jewish political groupings on the eve of the First World War, and the struggles to achieve their ambitions as all of the partitioning empires suddenly collapsed. Poland and Lithuania were reborn, but Ukrainian and Belarusian statehood did not survive the consolidation of the Soviet Union and its peace treaty with Poland in 1921. The course concludes with the legacies of the old Commonwealth for the independent interwar republics of Poland and Lithuania.
Aims
1. To introduce students to the history of the lands that now make up most of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine, from the sixteenth century until the 1930s.
2. To consider civic and ethno-linguistic concepts of ‘nation’ and ‘nationalism’ within this historical context.
3. To enhance the ability to understand and to appreciate how people have existed, acted and thought in the past in the context of the complexity and diversity of historical situations, events and intellectual outlooks. In particular, students should consider how people in the past have evaluated the times in which they were living.
4. To enhance the ability to use and evaluate texts and other source materials both critically and empathetically, as well as appreciating the limits and challenges of the extant record. The critical evaluation of texts should include an understanding of the questions which historians ask and why they do so. By the end of the course students will have read a wide selection of historical works.
5. To enhance the ability to frame and sustain an argument. Arguments should be structured, coherent, relevant, and concise, and should take into account all aspects of a given problem.
Objectives
By the end of the course, students should have acquired:
1. Enhanced generic skills: these may be defined as --
(i)self-direction and self-discipline;
(ii)independence of mind and initiative;
(iii) the ability to work with others and to have respect for the reasoned views of others;
(iv)the ability to identify, gather, deploy and organize evidence, data, and information; and familiarity with appropriate means of achieving this;
(v)analytical ability and the capacity to consider and solve problems, including complex problems;
(vi)structure, clarity and fluency of expression;
(vii)intellectual maturity and integrity;
(viii)empathy and imaginative insight;
(ix)ability to organize time, work, and personal resources to optimal effect.
2. A body of historical knowledge relating to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to 1795 as well as the territories that formerly constituted it, from the partitions until the 1930s.
