Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
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. To prepare the discussion, students will be asked to write regular summaries (Leseprotokollen), additionally to two short essays (Kurzessay), and will be trusted with 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.

The relevant scholarly literature and/or written sources is arranged both thematically and chronologically, and follows the central question: how general issues and debates in the Habsburg Monarchy echoed at the Hungarian level?
After completing the course, the students will 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.
