Learning unit contents

"Basic concepts of History and Geography through the intermediary of Town Planning and Architecture". This first year course presents a dozen town planning and architectural monuments which are representative of Greek and Roman civilisations. These monuments are touchstones for the study of both history (from the end of the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic era on the one hand and from the Iron Age to the end of the Roman Empire on the other) and geography (the basins of the Mediterranean and the Black Seas essentially).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The BLOC 1 (HAAR0066-1) and the BLOC 2 (HAAR0069-1) courses include two additional sections in the same vein. These consist of strengthening basic knowledge about the study of Antiquity (historical references and geographical information, political institutions and religious behaviours). The major learning outcomes can be summarised in three precise points: analytical note-taking in class - analytical and verification work in the library - ability to use encyclopaedias and basic publications.
Des travaux pratiques (6h) - organisés en bibliothèque sur les encyclopédies et les ouvrages fondamentaux - permettront de mettre à l'épreuve les acquis d'apprentissage liés à ce cours d'introduction.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None - bearing in mind that the History of Art and Archaeology of Greek-Roman Antiquity is only one element of the indissociable whole of the Sciences of Antiquity (history, philology, and the history of religion).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

For BAC students, regular presence in class is required, as well as analytical study and verification work in the library, which is required in order to cover all the material presented. These hours of personal study throughout the year should be equivalent (or greater than) the number of hours in class. It is also advised the the foundations are laid on the basis of bibliographical and iconographical information.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Lectures (illustrated with slide shows).
