Story
Het begin van de 20e eeuw werd geconfronteerd met een van de bloedigste conflicten uit de geschiedenis. Een groot deel van de politieke geschiedenis van die eeuw kan herleid worden tot de volkomen onverwachte en desastreuze gevolgen van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Miljoenen mensen komen om in deze eerste gemechaniseerde oorlog en het conflict veroorzaakte een langdurige en ingrijpende destabilisering van de politieke, economische en strategische verhouding in Europa.

Story
De Koude Oorlog was lang niet zo koud als de term doet vermoeden. Aan de periferie van beide invloedssferen werd wel degelijk bloedig gestreden. Conflicten in Korea, Cambodja en Vietnam eisten miljoenen slachtoffers. Van Rossem schetst in dit college de historische ontwikkelingen en laat zien hoe wij de Koude Oorlog na het ineenstorten van de Sovjet-Unie zijn gaan beschouwen.

Story
Vladimir Lenin en Josef Stalin waren de eerste twee leiders van de Sovjet-Unie. Door de verschillen in achtergrond, opleiding en ideologische opvattingen, hebben zij hun eigen stempel gedrukt op de politieke, industriële, economische en sociologische ontwikkeling van Rusland en haar inwoners. Beiden hebben de industrialisatie van het overwegend agrarische Rusland versneld. Maar daarnaast kwamen miljoenen mensen om het leven tijdens de jaren van de Grote Zuivering onder Lenin en later onder het terreurbewind van Stalin.

Story
In dit luisterboek zal Maarten van Buuren spreken over zes beroemde romans waarin overspelige vrouwen centraal staan. Hij plaatst de schrijvers en hun romans in een cultuurhistorisch perspectief. Tijden veranderen, de mens blijft hetzelfde, maar de romanpersonages laten zien dat zij zichzelf telkens anders definiëren. Hun zelfbeeld en de manier waarop ze hun eigen karakter zien, wordt wel degelijk bepaald door o.a. de conventies van de tijd waarin zij leven.

Story
De 20ste eeuw is de eeuw van de massamotorisering. In 1913 begon de eerste massale serieproductie van auto’s in Amerika. Door een efficiënt productieproces lukte het de industrieel Henry Ford om de T-Ford relatief goedkoop op de markt te brengen en daarmee toegankelijk te maken voor de groeiende middenklasse. In Europa kwam de automobilisering van de samenleving pas op gang na 1960. Elk Europees industrieland leverde een eigen bijdrage.

Story
Maarten van Rossem schetst in dit hoorcollege de sociaal-economische geschiedenis van de Europese samenwerking na de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de daarmee samenhangende economische integratie van Europa. De meeste West-Europese landen vertonen na 1945 een in hoge mate identiek patroon: sterke welvaartsgroei tot halverwege de jaren zeventig en steeds meer economische samenwerking tussen die landen. Nadat de enorme groeispurt in de jaren zeventig was doodgelopen leidde het neoliberalisme tot verdere groei, maar ook tot de kredietcrisis.

Story
Maarten van Rossem behandelt in dit college de geschiedenis van het Westerse kapitalisme in de afgelopen eeuw, van de Great Depression tot nu. In de drie decennia na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was er sprake van een sterke economische groei en werd er gewerkt aan de opbouw van de moderne verzorgingsstaat. In de loop van de jaren zeventig stagneerde de groei. Zoekend naar een nieuw economisch model, triomfeerde onder Thatcher en Reagan het neoliberalisme.

Story
We zijn vrij om te worden wie we willen zijn en ons leven zelf vorm te geven. Maar hoe vul je die vrijheid in en wat is goed leven? Daarvoor is een nieuwe moraal nodig die niet dogmatisch is, maar positief. Geen verboden en geboden, maar persoonlijke vrijheid gedefinieerd ten opzichte van de ander. Van oudsher behandelt de deugdethiek de moraal in termen van deugdelijkheid en voortreffelijkheid. Het gaat daarbij niet om het excelleren in de sport of in het werk, maar als persoonlijkheid. Deugdethiek biedt houvast bij de zoektocht naar een goed leven.

Story
"Waarom zou niet iedereen een kunstwerk van zijn leven kunnen maken?" vroeg de Franse filosoof Michel Foucault zich 25 jaar geleden af. Wij herkennen ons nog steeds in deze vraag nu de grote idealen en utopieën zijn verbleekt. Denkers en schrijvers verschillen echter van mening over de invulling daarvan. Van een krachtige en optimistische levensvisie tot sceptisch en op het sombere af.

In het verleden behaalde resultaten bieden geen garantie voor de toekomst. Maar kunnen we wel van het verleden leren? Misschien helpt geschiedenis gebeurtenissen, trends en nieuws in perspectief te zetten en kan het zo een remedie vormen voor onze kortzichtige blik. Maarten van Rossem behandelt in dit hoorcollege de rol van geschiedenis en geschiedenisstudie in een samenleving die niet verder kijkt dan de dag van morgen.
