How to do European History? Current approaches and controversies - Detailseite

In this course we aim to inquire a variety of approaches to the study of European History. We will tackle with different concepts of European History and observe European History in the longue durée. What are currently the major controversies in the field of European History? How are its margins defined? How may periodization be envisioned? How can we write about European History? These and further issues will be discussed in this course. The discussion will be based on the reading of key texts on different aspects of European History from the Early Modern period to Contemporary history embracing a wide range of methodological approaches: from political history to intellectual history, from gender history to historical anthropology or cultural history. The course addresses mainly students from the European History Master programme, but welcomes all other Master students with a special interest in reconsidering European History. It is intended to question historiographical presumptions and to refine methodical skills.
