The teaching will be conducted in a hybrid form of presence and online teaching. The first, introductory meeting (15 October) will take place in the seminar room, but it is also possible to be present on this meeting with the help of the Video-conference tool (BigBlueButton in Moodle). Those who would use this possibility should indicate that to the teacher ahead.
The following meetings (from 22 October onwards) are planned in the seminar room with compulsory presence.
However, if due to the Covid-19 situation the general possibilities of entering the university will change, it might be that all the meeting will be shifted to online (BigBlueButton in Moodle) video-conference meetings. Please prepare the technical background on your side for that in advance!
In case if need, asyncronous “teaching” is also possible: e.g. written tasks in the Moodle and available consultation possibility online for oral feedbacks.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar offers a broad introduction to scholarly debates, different methodological approaches and current research trends at the intersection of urban, social and economic history, focusing on several thematic aspects of early, high and late medieval (East-)Central (and Southern) European regions. Against this background, the course aims at the critical analysis and common discussion of selected publications (articles, chapters from monographs, and unpublished documents) and the individual (or group) presentations of the seminar participants. The readings deal with general economic trends, trading and communication networks and their changes during the medieval period up to the early modern era. The comparative perspective will be highly integrated in the readings, in the discussion and preferably also in the presentations. The discussion, on the one hand, focuses on the economic side, namely the specific traded goods, resources, and markets, and on the other hand, on the social side, namely the different guilds and their social contexts.
