Quebec: from New France to the challenges of today 3304-1DZXW-KHK-11
The goal of the course will be to familiarize students with the basic historical periods of Quebec from the establishment of the French colonies in America to the present day with emphasis on the cultural and social transformations that have occurred over the centuries up to the beginning of the 21st century.
Quebec can be viewed as a miniature of the transformations that have been taking place in societies of Western civilization from the Renaissance to the present day. Political and economic tensions, as well as changes in the mentality of Quebecers, illustrate the main socio-cultural trends that have marked the Western world over the
centuries. Topics of the course will include such issues as colonialism, the formation of language, modernization of state and society, migration and identity issues, and contemporary challenges, including environmental, political challenges facing Quebec.
