- Course objectives
- The seminar will explore the field of historical memory studies. It is designed as transnational and comparativist. It will critically examine both the dominant and subversive versions of national histories in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim is to expose and analyse these clashing and competing national master-narratives and to make students aware that they tended to exclude the people on broad social margins and their understanding of history. We will therefore ask who might have been relegated from the official memory. The seminar will stregthen students' competences in working with analytical categories of difference (such as gender, class, religion, ethnicity, and generation) in order to foster their ability to think beyond national frames and to critically analyse Central and Eastern European societies and cultures, their past, present and historical memories. While the first part of the course will introduce historical memory and its national frames as discussed in current historiography, the second part will analyse selected narratives of early modern Central Europe employing various categories of difference.
