612001 VO Culture and History of Eastern Europe
summer semester 2017 | Last update: 27.09.2017 | Place course on memo listStudents will get in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and the historical background of Eastern European cultures, especially Russian culture
In this lecture course students will get basic information about the cultural and historical characterstics of Eastern Europe. Topics are: spacial constructions (such as the “invention” of Eastern Europe), religions and nation building. We will focus also on socialism as it has influenced Russia for many decades and – although only temporarily – made even Eastern Europe a political and cultural block.
The lecture course will provide students with basic knowledge but will also underscore, that the assessment of nations and spaces has to be critically reflected.
Lecture and discussion in class. Students are expected to prepare for each class and complete the weekly reading in advance.
Active participation is expected; written exam at the end of term.
