Brief description of the course

The course will deal with the methodology and history of cultural history. During the course different ways are introduced on how it is possible to study culture in historical terms. The most significant cultural historical works and the views of their authors are introduced. Students must read through three significant cultural historical works and write a review on each of them (see requirements for independent work).

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- explains the main stages in the development of cultural history as a field of study, its major approaches and methods, and relates them to key cultural historians and their works;
- explains and interprets cultural phenomena from a historical perspective;
- independently and critically reads studies in cultural history and analyses them in writing at an introductory level, identifying their main arguments and the methods employed.
