Learning outcomes
|
The course focuses on presenting the source basis to selected chapters of the 20th-century history. It makes students familiar with the characteristics of sources and the possibilities of employing them and with their accessibility, analysis and critique. The students acquire knowledge of the structure and role of archives throughout the Czech Republic and, informatively, also in Germany (in the context of NARA Washington). Apart from written sources, presented both in the form of editions and originals, attention is also paid to less traditional sources, such as caricature, photography, newsreels (eventually contemporary documents) and film. The main subject of the course is the issues of Czech-German relations and the periods between 1933 and 1946 with contextual overlaps.
The graduates demonstrate knowledge of various types of sources and are capable of outlining the possibilities of their use and interpretation. They are orientated in the structure of archives, the main collections concerning the followed period, editions and other materials. They are familiar with the basic professional literature to the followed subjects, are orientated in them and demonstrate knowledge of both the essential and causal associations and understand them in wider historical context. They can satisfactorily explain and interpret significant concepts such as, for example, historical source, archive collection, edition and methods of a historian?s work. They can present the acquired knowledge via texts or, eventually, via presentation and discuss them.
