The aim of the course is to present students the main issues of modern Czech history, which is understood in the wide context of the history of the entire Habsburg monarchy and central Europe. Emphasis is laid on the issues the solution of which is in the focus of both local and global historiography. The subject includes the period of so called "long 19th century"; i.e. in the Czech lands from the era of Josephinism or Enlightenment Absolutism over the period of the revolutionary events in 1848 until the events of the First World War and establishment of the independent Czechoslovak state in 1918. In this period, the foundations of the modern age were created, and this is reflected in the extension and strengthening of modern forms of state power with functioning bureaucracies and in the organization of production, in economic theories and in philosophy, etc. Special attention is paid to the nationalist issue. This particularly concerns the Czech-German relations in our countries, in the Habsburg monarchy as well as outside it, the relations to other Slavic nations and the beginnings of the Czech-French relations. High emphasis will hence be laid on the development of civic society and the struggle for democratic rights and political emancipation of all social strata.
The graduates acquire the capability of logical following-up with the preceding time period. From both the aspect of time and space, they demonstrate knowledge of wide connections to the analysis of the preceding and of the assumptions of future developments. They are not only orientated in the given issue in the framework of the historical development of the Czech Lands but are also able to compare them with other parts of the Habsburg monarchy and Europe. They adopt the skill of analysing relevant sources, mainly focusing on evaluating them and at the same time keeping critical distance. They acquire an overview of historiography relating to the followed period and focusing on the most recent scientific results, and knowledge of the preceding development of solving the corresponding issues. Yet another part of the acquired expertise is successful orientation in particular historical events. Students moreover receive the capability of incorporating the processed material into wider - European / global - context and, on this basis, cooperate with researchers and scholars abroad. |
