Cíle předmětu
The course aims to introduce students to key aspects of Scandinavian (Norwegian and Swedish), Dutch, and Belgian history, culture, literature, and society, with a particular focus on their unique characteristics and contributions. It also examines the linguistic situation in these countries, considering their current state in relation to historical and cultural development, as well as their impact on European culture.
The course is divided into twelve lecture units, each focusing on different themes. Topics include Norway (Ibsen, Nobel Prize winners, the Sámi people, politics, society and culture, traditions and habits), Sweden (variations in Swedish humour), the Netherlands, and Belgium (postcolonial literature, language variations, children's and young adult literature, and animal studies).
