Learning outcomes
|
The course deals with a specific phenomenon of medieval society, the so-called heresies. Their "existence" is documented in the sources of late antiquity, the early Middle Ages are rather silent in this respect, the high and late Middle Ages, on the other hand, have a large number of heretics. Until the 1970s, the foreign literature emphasized above all the phenomenon of dualism as the basis for the infamous catharsis. In the Czech environment, on the other hand, the exploration of Waldensianism resonated. More recent work has been more critical of both phenomena, and an approach that can be described as a deconstruction of the phenomenon within an ongoing discourse has prevailed. The ancient Manichaeans are no longer seen as the immediate predecessors of the Iberian Cathars, etc. The aim of the course is therefore: a) to introduce students to the framework of church history, b) to indicate the key points (in the geographical sense) of the cultural development of Europe, c) to show the diversity of the phenomenon of heresy, d) to deepen their ability to work with the source or to analyse it critically.
The student can define basic terms such as heresy, Manichaeism, Waldensianism, Catharism, etc. The student is able to work with them as historiographical categories and is familiar with the recommended literature. The student is able to name the significance of the major narratives of European development in the field of the struggle against heretical movements and understands the related paradigms of thought.
