(11M256, 52Μ029) -  A. Lyberatos, A. Angelidou and D. Kofti

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course aims to present and examine pivotal questions about past and present transformations in Southeast Europe from a historical and anthropological perspective. Departing from the 18th century and reaching the early 21st century, we will discuss key aspects of the political, economic, social and cultural change in Balkan societies and approach critically the ways in which they have been conceptualized and theorized in the social sciences and the humanities. We will critically discuss concepts related to the ‘Balkans’, ‘backwardness’, ‘modernization’, 'transition', 'socialism' and 'post-socialism' and explore new research approaching the above-mentioned transformations in a non-essentialist, comparative and transnational fashion which seeks to promote the inscription of the region and its study into global frameworks and discussions. The language of teaching will be English.
