Learning outcomes
|
The first teaching cycle focuses on the political, economic, social and cultural development of the First Republic, the tragic nature and internal contradictions of the Second Republic and the difficult period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It aims to provide a general overview of a wide range of contemporary issues, a more detailed knowledge of the literature and to place domestic developments in a broader Central European context. Listeners will become familiar with different points of view on the development of the Czechoslovak state (Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, Rusyns), as well as the changes in mutual coexistence in the common state. The topics of the exercises are chosen by the students themselves according to their own interest, followed by a debate on the chosen topic after the home preparation; "academic arguments" between students and efforts to get closer to the essence of the matter are welcome.
The listener is able to critically evaluate relevant literature and sources and is able to formulate and defend his/her own opinion in individual debates. At the same time, he/she is able to navigate the main issues of the time, including methodological and heuristic issues. Students will prepare a seminar paper based on archival sources. and pass a written test.
