Cíle předmětu
This course is an encapsulation of the history of Britain and its former colonies, with particular attention paid to the developing role of monarchical institutions and their impact on mechanisms of power, social conditions, and cultural production. Emphasis is placed on the changing discourses of British life (social, medical, ethical, religious, legal, political, monetary, scholarly, and familial), complex discourses which arose from the first Roman interchanges with the Celts, matured throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, were advanced by the establishment of Britain's almost-global dominance during the reign of Victoria, were impacted by the two World Wars, and continue to develop into the Britain we see today.
At the end of the course, students will be able to discuss historical events with greater sensitivity and appreciation, and will have an understanding of the contexts from which those British events arose.
