Learning outcomes
|
In the lectures students will not be primarily informed about historic and political events in the period of so called normalization, their attention will be rather directed at accompanying phenomenons relating to this period. Of course we will also look at historic and political facts which make the basis of this seminar. The aim of the seminar is to show persecution of unofficial and underground culture scene and its confrontation with official governing circles.
Students will extend their knowledge of the newest history of Czechoslovakia in this period.
