https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/HISU5003?type=COREThis course is open for 4th year BA students. PhD students can take it only for AUDIT.The seminar, as indicated in the title, complements the general course of historiography with a detailed discussion of all those historical debates, which related the general paradigms of European or world history to the specific problems of the historical region called East-Central Europe. Conversely, there are also several cases, when the specific interpretations of the history of this region gave rise to the formulation of a more general historical or theoretic problem. Combining readings from various subfields of historical studies (political history, social history, historical anthropology, cultural history, intellectual history), the course provides an insight into some of the national historiographical traditions and also into using a trans-national approach to the study of the region. The seminar will consist of general introductions to the individual subfields, and the regular discussion of the assigned readings. The reading list also contains an indicative list of recommended literature. The students will be familiarized with these topics and get an overview of the different approaches of the history of our region.
