HSEM113 Всекидневният живот в Югоизточна Европа през XV-XIX в.
Анотация:
• The course examines, from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, several aspects of everyday life in South-Eastern Europe in Ottoman times. Everyday life in the region is presented in the larger historical context of the economic, political and cultural development in South-Eastern Europe during the 15th – 19th c.
• On the basis of the analysis of a variety of written, oral and material sources and using the macro-historical as well as the micro-historical approaches, it aims at giving a wide panorama of everyday life in the region through the presentation and discussion of the daily experiences of its inhabitants in the 15th – 19th c.
• Along the lines of the Annales history school and that of micro-history, the course focuses on long-term trends, on continuity and gradual change, on mutual influences in everyday life but also on the personal experiences of concrete people, groups and communities (as revealed by the sources), in which the macro processes are reflected.
