Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to introduce students to spatial delineation and physical and geographic conditioning of some historical processes and phenomena. Emphasis is not only laid on the typology of sources but also on the methods of historical geography. Students should subsequently reflect the interdisciplinary character of historical geography and its overlaps to other historical and auxiliary historical sciences (historical demography, archaeology, history of settlement, history of law, economic history and cartography). The subject should thus provide students with geographic context in the framework of their knowledge hitherto acquired in other courses. The course mainly focuses on historical geography of the Czech lands from Middle Ages to the 20th century and will selectively include the issues of wider Central Europe and the world. Formally, the lectures focus on theory while the subsequent seminars mainly pay attention to particular employing of sources and the possibilities of their interpretation. The education also mediates elementary knowledge of historical and geographic research in several subject circles.
The graduates understand elementary methodological processes of historical geography. They can describe the relation between historical geography and other disciplines the outcomes and methods of which have hitherto been employed by historical geography. They can categorize the basic sources of historical geography and interpret map materials dating to various periods. Using a source basis, they can evaluate the historical and geographic development on the level of a region and characterize this development in the Czech lands from Middle Ages to the 20th century. They are also familiar with the historical development of cultural landscape.
