The elective seminars I and II for the Bachelor's degree deepen the student's historical contextual knowledge. The seminars are designed in an interdisciplinary manner, linking history with related disciplines (e.g. art history, literary history, geography, etc.), aiming to encourage students to work independently with different types of sources and to deepen their factual and argumentative skills, to present the results of their work in public and to be able to discuss and defend their conclusions. Elective Seminar II D - Women in History. From Eve's foremothers to 21st century feminists. The seminar focuses on a very broad thematic and chronological scope of women's history from antiquity to the 21st century. History, of course, is concerned with all people, and it is surely impossible to write exclusively women's history without men. Women have always been in contact with men, who - sometimes too often and too explicitly - have (co-)shaped women's lives. Nevertheless, a view of women's history can constitute a specific perspective of historical research that does not have to overestimate gender differences and is based only on the already traditional notion of gender. We can trace themes such as the marginalization of women in "big history", the predominantly negative view of women shaped by antiquity and biblical texts, the assertion of women in economic activities, culture, politics, the changing share of women in education, and their gradual emancipation in the modern era. The everyday life of women is not left out, nor are the rituals associated with specifically female tasks such as childbirth and child-rearing. We can observe women in various social positions, whether they are royal families, nobility, monasteries, the city or the countryside. It is also possible to look at the biographies of individual women. Students will prepare papers and shorter seminar papers. They will work with sources and literature, with an emphasis on consolidating and extending the historical knowledge, methodology and practical skills necessary to produce a historical study, whether at the level of a seminar, bachelor's or master's thesis. The selection of topics and the teaching will also aim at developing didactic skills (oral and written presentations, preparation of class materials - presentations, written hand-outs) and discussing topics appropriate for teaching at different levels (e.g. gender equality, possibilities for the social advancement of women, etc.). Topics: I. Women in the 19th century (1. Women in the 19th century - Czech lands. 2. Women in the 19th century – Europe.). II. Student presentations. III. Women by social groups (1. Queens. 2. Noblewomen. 3. Bourgeois. 4. Serfs, workers.). IV. Outlook to the new era (1. Comparison of the position of women in Europe and in the Czech lands. 2. Women at the beginning of the 20th century. 3. Women in the anti-Nazi resistance 4. Women and girls in the Protectorate 5. Women in communist prisons 6. Women as communist functionaries).

Last update: doc. PhDr. Petr Koura, Ph.D. (21.02.2024)

The aim of the seminar is to introduce the audience to the status of women in the 19th and 20th centuries. Through contemporary sources, students will be introduced to the living conditions of Czech and European women, their everyday life and, last but not least, the attitude of totalitarian regimes towards women.
