| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the course is to broaden the students' understanding of Czech culture in the 20th and 21st centuries with an overlap into the more distant past (the Middle Ages). Students will be introduced to audiovisual and performative works, events and phenomena that are presented in their aesthetic, socio-political and historical contexts. Frontal teaching is complemented by non-frontal activities, especially class discussions on particular issues and works, in order to give students a more personal and concrete experience of the topics discussed.
