The Dean decides
- The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will temporarily transfer to distance teaching and examination by using the online platform Canvas or the tool Zoom. Exceptions are possible with consideration to e.g. group sizes. The change will occur starting March 18 2020 and will persist until the recommendations relating to the corona epidemic change.
The course will discuss the emergence, development and contemporary legacy of nationalism and communism as the two major political ideologies in the twentieth century Central Europe. A particular focus will be directed towards Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
Communism will be further explored as a political and cultural system that dominated the societal transformation of these states in the period between the Second World War and the fall of the Iron Curtain. In this context, the question about the place of nationalism within the communist systems will be elaborated and problematized.
The countries will be discussed comparatively, while similar patterns of development will be highlighted.
