HIST 6601
Toward a Prehistory of Terrorism

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

This course puts contemporary terrorism in a long-term historical context. We will read modern theoreticians of terror and counter-terrorism, as well as accounts by practitioners and witnesses. We will also look at pre-modern acts of fearsome violence. Does a current perspective on terrorism help us understand pre-modern ruthlessness in a new light? Can ancient and medieval texts illuminate the current crisis of terror?

When Offered Fall.
