Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the main questions and problems in the study of cultural history as a discipline which has been constituted in the process of adopting a position vis ? vis the sociologically influenced history with which it does not cease to lead very fruitful discussions. An extraordinary openness of the cultural history to the stimuli from other disciplines brings a broad range of approaches and methods which will be systematized for the students in the seminar. The emphasis will be placed on the explanation of the conceptual apparatus of cultural history in its dynamism, interpretative possibilities and limits.
