Full description:	This course intends to explore the relationship between history, environment and various geno- and eco-cides. It will discuss comparative approaches to genocide studies and the problem of the universalization of the notion of holocaust, its usage to integrate Native American history and nuclear holocaust into genocide studies, and the ethical dilemmas posed by the idea of “animal holocaust.” While the focus of the course is theoretical and methodological, the case of different forms of mass-killings will be examined in order to discuss a problem of survival value of knowledge.
