Ibero-American World in Egodocuments 3305-SILD-SEM-MGR-2U
The multiethnic and multicultural societies of Iberoamerica, based on the Spanish and Portuguese languages and the common experience, have created an extremely original and interesting culture (lifestyle, cuisine, music, dance, literature, customs) and political organisms specific to the region (empire, republic, dictatorship, democracy), which provide many inspiring topics for scientific research. In addition, course participants will become acquainted with methods of in-depth scientific and source analysis of the history of Ibero-America. In addition, students will become familiar with selected readings in the field of methodology and philosophy of history. They will also learn the principles of academic writing, which they will put into practice when preparing a master's thesis on a topic of their choice. One of the elements of the classes will be individual work with each participant on individual master's theses topics. Students will also prepare papers in areas of interest to them, including discussions of their progress in writing their thesis. An additional element of the classes will be screenings of films of a general historical, social and cultural nature; discussion on the mini will allow students to broaden their thinking horizons.
