Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The history of Habsburg and Ottoman cities in the long nineteenth century offers significant insights into both the generalities of modernization processes in their global dimension and the historical and cultural specificities of these processes in the two important regions 'on the fringes' of Europe. Based on cultural transfers and human migration, capital cities facilitated greater social and cultural change and functioned, at the same time, as its laboratory and location. This seminar will compare the impact of the empire in the city and look at and systematically study urbanization processes, urban governance, multiconfessional character of imperial cities, everyday practices and special events such as royal celebrations and urban revolts, communication and cultural transfer, changing cultural norms of behavior and, lastly, diverse urban representations in architecture, music, theater and the arts.
This seminar is the result of the new cooperation with the Department of History at the Central European University in Budapest. The course will be offered simultaneously at both universities with the frequent participation of the corresponding instructor. It will finish with a graduate joint student workshop in January, 2014, in which student draft term papers will be presented and discussed.
