Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The European Middle Ages, from the Roman empire's conversion to Christianity to the eve of the Protestant Reformation, through the eleventh-century reform and the Great Plague. Focus: Religion and power, identities. We look in particular at the mutual influence of Roman culture and Christianity, barbarian culture and Christianity, the relationship between lay power and ecclesiastical institutions, how groups inscribed themselves in religious notions of the order of the world, and the impact of new forces on religion, power, and society. Throughout, it is assumed that Christianity is a historical phenomenon, so changed with time.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

One final exam (as is usual, four versions proposed over six months). Students will be tested on the lecture contents and on the readings assigned. Typically, the exam will involve identifications and explanations of images, concepts or objects (shown in class), a short essay question bearing on one lecture and related readings, and a longer, synthetic essay question involving information and concepts from several lectures and the attached readings. Experience has shown that students who try to take the test without having attended the class, physically or virtually (that is, by listening to the tapes while reading the pdfs posted on Moodle) have a high chance of failing the exam.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Introduction to the broad characteristics and trends of the European Middle Ages, emphasis on basic facts but much more on structures and processes, introduction to theories and methods allowing explanation and understanding of historical phenomena.

Prüfungsstoff

Lecture, readings at home (textbook excerpts plus excerpts from primary sources). Students are encouraged to take simultaneously to this class my Guided Reading (Buc & Kaar, in Englisha and German) for more cohesion in their learning. Other medieval GRs are also a solution.

Literatur

See Moodle. The textbook will be Barbara Rosenwein, A short history of the Middle Ages. Copies can be bought used, especially of the second edition, which I use.
