Detalhes do Evento
Online course of the NOVA FCSH Summer School that focuses on the history of the management of diamond mines and the mineworkers.
A Global History of Diamond Mining
Teacher: Tijl Vanneste
Schedule: 4 to 12 August | 4 August, 8 to 11AM; following days, 8 to 10AM
Duration: 15h
Type: online
Goals:
Students will develop an understanding of the global history of diamond mining, particularly the management of the mines and the mineworkers. They will also be able to connect this history to the larger histories of slavery, colonialism, labour, technology and capitalism. Secondly, studying diamond mining allows for students to improve their skills in comparative history, and will expand their know-how on relating the present to the past. A number of issues that have been crucial in diamond mining are still extremely relevant today – child’s labour in dangerous circumstances, ecological damage, the mixing of private and state interests. Diamond mining offers an historical interpretation of these phenomena.
Summary programme:
- Session 1 – Introduction
- Session 2 – Diamonds from Antiquity to the Seventeenth Century
- Session 3 – The History of Diamonds in Brazil
- Session 4 – The Discovery of Diamonds in Africa
- Session 5 – The De Beers empire
- Session 6 – Mining in the Post-Colonial World
- Session 7 – Ecological Concerns & Roundtable
The course will be taught in English
