Learning outcomes

The seminar deals with the concept of "lieux de memoire" / "Erinnerungsorte"/ "places of memory" in both theoretical and practical terms. The introductory seminars will outline the history of the scientific interest in this phenomenon, while the second part will introduce students to some places of memory and try to describe them as well as to systematize them.
- gain insight into the theory and practice of cultural memory research - works with texts - learn to structure and present a chosen topic
