Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The objectives are the practical development of in-depth historical work (formulation of historical questions, literature and source research, state of research, scientific writing, citation) from the thematic area of commemoration and remembrance politics, its political history, intellectual, art and cultural history aspects as well as aspects of the history of science. In terms of epochs, we remain in the area of contemporary history (19th-21st century), in terms of space in the area of Austrian History 2 and European area.

Assessment and permitted materials

This is an exam-immanent course, therefore attendance, regular active participation, smaller written tasks (essay on research literature, development of the research question, ...), as well as a written composition and oral presentation of a proseminar paper (Submission of the written proseminar paper by July 15, 2024)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

in general: half participation and half proseminar paper, assessment according to the school grading system from 1-5.
Lower attendance limit (unexcused absences of two units require additional work, more than three units lead to automatic deregistration), lower proseminar paper limit: successful completion is not possible without an oral presentation and submission of a written proseminar paper.

Examination topics

This is an exam-immanent course, therefore regular active participation in the units through questions and contributions to the discussion; the completion of small assignments and the preparation of a proseminar paper on a topic chosen by the student and agreed with the course instructor with a clear research question, explicitly stated methods and theoretical framework, as well as the corresponding scientific apparatus (citations, footnotes, bibliography, ...).
No final examination
