The seminar offers students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the historiography of Byzantium. The first section of the course is devoted to the establishment of “Byzantine studies” as an independent academic field during the second half of the 19th century mainly under the influence of Romanticism and the rising nationalistic movements. In the second section selected contemporary historiographical debates about Byzantium are analyzed. During the current academic year the following issues will be expored: i) Byzantine Identities, ii) The Byzantine society of the 11th – 12th centuries, iii) Byzantium and the Crusades.
Learning outcomes:
Students are expected not only to familiarize themselves with the broader conceptual framework within which the Byzantine studies were established as an academic field in the 19th century but also to be able to analyze some of the contemporary historiographical debates about Byzantium. Moreover through studying historical works and discussing them in the seminar they get familiar with the working methods of an historian. The students learn to analyze the context of the historical writing while they also develop their own writing skills.
