Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the main contours of the development of modern historiography, with an emphasis on trends in the development of historiography in the 20th century, taking into account intersections with other disciplines (philosophy, sociology, economics, anthropology, geography). The central point of the interpretation is the search for the possibilities of interdisciplinary approaches (as a way out of the crisis of historicism and historical positivism, or ideological dogmatism), which has been present in various forms in the works of prominent authors since the beginning of the last century. Emphasis is placed on the following themes forming the content of the lectures. In the seminars, interpretation is supplemented by reading assignments in the literature, which are then interpreted together.
The student is oriented in the problems of modern historiography and its genesis and can explain its institutional anchoring. The student will explain the importance of the Annales journal and school and describe the contribution of the first generation of its representatives. The student will be able to name the main directions of interdisciplinary overlap into other fields. Identifies important historians of the interwar period and analyses key features of their work. Explains the basic principles of quantitative history and lists its major exponents. Describes the main features of the third generation of the Annales school, microhistory and historical anthropology. Characterize the influence of selected foreign historians on the formation of modern Czech historiography.
