Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is available for Erasmus students (as the teaching language is English and German) - information will be provided in Moodle.

SUMMARY: This seminar offers a broad introduction to scholarly debates, different methodological approaches and current research trends concerning the different aspects of social care in European urban context, focusing on several thematic aspects during the early, high and late medieval period in the Central European regions. Against this background, the course aims at the critical analysis and common discussion of selected publications (articles, chapters from monographs, and published contemporary sources) and the individual (or group) presentations of the seminar participants. The readings deal with the general urban background to social care as well as the different forms and institutions established and maintained to care for the poor, the sick, the travellers, the outsiders and marginal groups during the medieval period up to the early modern era. The comparative perspective and the perception of the common good and social care 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 institutional side, namely hospitals, brotherhoods, baths, brothers, and on the other hand, on the social side, namely the perception of marginality and marginal groups (outsiders, poor and sick people, or prostitutes).
