Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This Guided Reading course shall be focused on the history of the Eastern part of the Habsburg Monarchy, offering an overview of the cultural, social and political history of Hungary c. 1815-1918 through the prism of its embedment into the history of the Habsburg Monarchy. Students will critically engage with contemporary sources and scholarly literature, gain a thorough understanding of this other half of the Monarchy, while deepening their understanding of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Habsburg history.
The relevant scholarly literature and/or written sources is arranged both thematically and in chronological order, following this central question: how general issues and debates in the Habsburg Monarchy echoed at the Hungarian level?
After completing the course, the students shall be familiarized with key topics ranging from modernization and integration to the empire, the 1848/49 revolution and independence, the 1867 compromise and dual state construct, development of state infrastructures and civil society, the formation of national, confessional and political identities, economic and demographic developments, bourgeoisification, mentalities and ways of living, and finally World War I and the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Regular attendance and reading of the obligatory texts uploaded weekly on the Moodle platform.
Final grade results from active participation in the class discussion, as well as the completion of written and oral assignments. Regular summaries (Leseprotokollen) will be asked to prepare the discussion, additionally to two short essays (Kurzessay) and the oral presentation/moderation of at least one session (details will be given during the first session). Summaries and essays can be written in either English, German or French, the oral presentation will however be held only in English.
Summaries should briefly comment the text while highlighting the principal arguments, and propose a question to the general discussion. Essays (1-2 pages max.) will propose an analysis of the text and can refer to the general literature. Important here is the critical reflexion, as well as the traceability of the arguments and the ability to draw parallels with other texts. It is not about knowing everything, rather to be able to contextualize and criticise and reflect upon a text.
