Learning outcomes

The course focuses on the period of the so-called long 19h century, i.e. in the context of the Czech lands as part of the Habsburg monarchy from the era of Josephism or Enlightenment absolutism, through the period of the revolutionary years 1849-49 to the events of the First World War, together with the preconditions for the establishment of an independent Czechoslovak state in 1918. this is the stage of our history in which the foundations of modern society were laid, which is reflected not only in the expansion and strengthening of modern forms of state power with a functioning bureaucratic and financial system, bud also in changes in the organisation of production, banking and social and economic theories. With regard to the specific development of Centra Europe, special attention will be paid to the question of nationalism, or the transformation of Czech-German relations in our countries and the Habsburg monarchy as a whole. Relations with other Slavic nations and the beginnings of Czech-French contacts will also be discussed. A characteristic problem of this period is also the struggle for the promotion of democratic rights and the political emancipation of all social classes, therefore, increased emphasis will be placed on the issue of creating a civil society with all aspects of thi process (secularization, urbanization, medicalization, bureaucratization, etc.). The overall framework ofthis course is a reflection on the process of modernization of society and the application of this process in the environment of the Czech countries of the period under study.
The student will gain the ability to make logical connections to previous time periods. The student will demonstrate knowledge of borader temporal and spatial contexts with analysis of previous and assumptions of future developments. The students will not only be oriented to the given issue within the historical development of the Czech lands, but also be able to compare it with other parts of the Habsburg Monarchy and Europe. The student will acquire the ability to analyse relevant sources, mainly focused on their evaluation with the necessity of a critical approach. The student will gain an overview of the historigraphy of the period under study, focusing on the most recent scientific results in comparison with the ongoing development of solutions to the relevant problems. The acquired competences include successful geographical orientation of specific historical events. The student will demonstrate the ability to concisely present the results of his/her own research activities in the field. The student is able to place the material he/she will work with in a broader European/world history context and to cooperate with foreign researchers on thi basis. He/she will also have the competence to cooperate internationally and to create joint projects.
