Course objectives
The cycle of lectures will focus on the key historiographical discussions connected with the research into the Czech country. Historians and their work constructing the image of the Czech rural life will play the main role. When graduating from the cycle of lectures the students will have acquired an insight in the history of the Czech rural historiography. They will be able to distinguish individual methodological approaches to the rural history and will be able to take a critical view.
