The aim of the seminar is to teach students the basic knowledge about the development of culture in the central Europe in the second half of 19th and the first half of the 20th century. The course understands culture as a widely defined social space, alternative to politics. Art styles covered by the course are literature, but to some extent also film, photography or architecture.
