We will read sources and histories written in different times and discursive practices. Students will get familiar with schools of history writing (Ancient, Middle Ages, Humanism, Enlightenment, Historicism, Marxism, Annales, Social Turn, Cultural Turn, Gender Turn, etc.). They will follow the path from the source to Geschichte and will be able to critically evaluate the work of historians.
With the regular reference papers, students will learn and practice how to summarize, quote, critically analyze, and refer to scientific texts and historical concepts.
In the discussions, we will touch upon topics like:
- authorship
- anachronism
- the cyclical and linear course of history
- teleology
- groups and individuals
- men and women
- the macro and micro perspective
- objectivity and subjectivity.
