| Course contents : | This course presents a synthesis of Early Modern History (15th-18th century), mainly in Europe, taking into account its political, cultural, social, religious and economical dimensions. It will give the opportunity to understand the main stakes of the modernity from the Italian Renaissance to the European Enlightenment.
The goal of the first year of Bachelor in History is to gain useful basic knowledge for your future training. Therefore, this course is foremost a structuring course, intended to fix and to capitalize the knowledge. Its other goal is to introduce you to the understanding of historical phenomena (explanation, links, classification...). For these two reasons, the course is also open to the other students of the Faculty: everybody will find here the opportunity to organize and complete his/her knowledge about the early modern period and to improve his/her approach of history. |
|
| Course objective : | With this course, you will gain knowledge with :
- characteristic doctrines and concepts of the Early Modern period (Humanism, Renaissance, Enlightenment, tyrannicide, despotism, mercantilism...)
- definite chronology and geography of the Early Modern period
- European - and sometimes worldwide - approach of the Early Modern period.
At the end, you will get a general mastery of the Early Modern History, necessary precondition to continue your history training. You will be able to define precisely the main intellectual, cultural, religious, social, economical and political movements of this period. You will be able to place on a European map the main states and cities of this period. You will be able to explain the causes and consequences of the main events of this period. You will be able to link these events between each other and to underline the main stakes of Modernity. |
|
| Prerequisites : | None. However, it is advisable to have a good command of French. To help you, you can contact the departmental teaching assistant, Brigitte Stas. E-mail and telephone number below. |
|
| Organization : | The course will be hold during the first term, each Monday, in two sessions :
- 11.00-12.30am : Salle Kurt (Building A2, level +1)
- 5.30-7.00pm : Salle Wilmotte ((Building A2, level +3)
It is necessary to attend to the two sessions. The first meeting will be organized on Sept. 20, 2010, at 11am. Owing to annual leaves, the lessons of Sept. 27 and Nov. 1 will be suspended. The calendar is regularly updated on the online course. |
|
| Written notes : | All the documents showed during the lesson (iconography, maps, slides...) as well as a detailed table of the contents and a glossary will be available on the online course (see below).
This online course is a full-fledged component of my teaching. It is necessary to consult it regularly : I will often insert announcement, new data, new events...
Moreover, you can find useful supports with
- Jérôme Hélie, Petit Atlas historique des Temps modernes, 2nd ed., Paris, Armand Colin, 2007 or 3d ed., Paris, Armand Colin, 2010 (textbook with illustrations and maps).

All these books are available in bookshops of town centre. The 100 fiches are also partly digitized on Google Books. |
|
| Assessment : | January session:
Writing exam on the matter of the course and the manual. Knowledge (chronology, geography, events...) and understanding (causes, consequences...) will be assessed to an equal extent. Indeed it is necessary to command these two skill levels in order to reach the next year of your curriculum.
