Continuous assessment of course work

Die Gründungsmythen der südslawischen Völker gestalten sich oft als rückprojizierte Opfernarrative. In welchen traumatischen historischen Situationen entstehen solche Narrative, welche Identifikationen mit den Ahnen lösen sie aus, welche epochemachende Brüche legen sie fest, welche Szenarien, welche Rollen- und Akzentverteilung, welche Erzählperspektive und, letztendlich, welche Konsequenzen für die Nationalgeschichtsschreibung folgen daraus? Das sind etwa die Fragestellungen, von denen wir uns in diesem Seminar leiten lassen werden.
