Výběrový seminář Matěje Spurného
Seminář je určen pro studenty bakalářského a magisterského cyklu.

Klíčovými tématy jsou moderní nacionalismus a etnicita, urbánní a environmentální dějiny.
Seminář probíhá dialogickou formou, prostřednictvím kritického rozboru předem zaslaných odborných textů - a to jak textů z pera studentů a studentek, tak i jiných inspirativních převážně historiografických textů a historických pramenů.
Poslední úprava: HSDSPURN (29.01.2020)
The aim of this course is to produce a bachelor’s, or, diploma thesis. Students can define the theme of their work relating to the issues of social protection of the population and everyday life together with the help of their thesis supervisor. The specific topic can be drawn from the broad field of social development, economy and policy. Students can also ask the supervisor to assign a given relevant theme.
The thematic plan of the seminar is subordinate to the goal of achieving a professional text on the adequate heuristic and methodological level. Therefore, each lesson will be dedicated to the reading of contemporary theories in historical science and to the discussion of their content. On average, the student will need to present the theme of their thesis and specific results achieved once during the semester. Afterwards, the results will be discussed in a group discussion. The partial problems and procedures are discussed at the beginning of each lecture.
Diploma seminar of MATĚJ SPURNÝ (thursday 14.10 – 15.45)
Inhabitants of Czech lands and their worlds of meanings
This seminar is offering critical reflection for students working on their bachelor or master diploma in the field of modern and contemporary history of central Europe. Especially welcomed are themes as nationalism and ethnicity, identities, forced migration, modern dictatorship, urban and environmental history.
The seminar form consists in regular discussions about texts, which are distributed in advance, so that students can read them and prepare their argumentation. Partly, these are texts writen by students themselves, partly texts by other (mostly contemporary) historians on issues, which are close to the focus of most students visiting the seminar.
