Aim of the course -
Last update: PhDr. Iva Beránková (29.10.2019)
The course provides a comprehensive overview of the basic epochs of the history of historiography since its inception, with an emphasis on Czech historiography, but in the Central European and European context. We also observe the social and cultural context of historiography and the transformation of the role of historian. The aim of the course is to practice and systematize the existing factual history of historiography, which the students have acquired in the Introduction to the study of history and in the spine lectures devoted to Czech and general history. 
An integral part of the course will also be discussions over source examples and specialized texts on the history of historiography, in which we will try to present the structure, function and argumentation of historiographic texts and try to approach the understanding of historical thought. Discussions will take place partly in the lessons themselves, partly students will consider historiographic sources in their own shorter essays.

The lecture is given in real time, but the home work is requested as well (homeworks, reading, writing). The basis is formed by moodle for History of historiography, where materials for study are provided and where teacher proposes usually each second week written homeworks. The teacher communicate with the students regularly via e-mail and correct their homeworks.

In the time of various epidemiologic and quarantine measures, the lectures take place online. The explication is given mainly through recordings, partly in the discussion in the framework of MS Teams.
