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 These consist of strengthening basic knowledge about the study of Antiquity (historical references and geographical information, political institutions and religious behaviours).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. Ces travaux seront organisés par Charlotte Sohet (charlotte.sohet@student.uliege.be), étudiante-monitrice attachée au SHAARAGR.
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, hybrid learning)
Lectures (illustrated with slide shows).
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Suivant les instructions de la Faculté de Philosophie et Lettres de l'Université de Liège, cet enseignement de BLOC1 continuera a été donné "en présentiel" sous les régimes des codes jaune et orange. Si la contexte sanitaire devait se dégrader durant l'automne et contraindre nos autorités à activer le code rouge, ce cours serait alors donné "à distance" via LifeSize. Et il en sera de même pour les travaux pratiques organisés par Charlotte Sohet (étudiante-monitrice).
Quoi qu'il en soit, l'évaluation du mois de janvier consistera en une épreuve écrite (questions ouvertes et annotation de documents spécifiques) "en présentiel" (codes jaune et orange) ou "à distance" (code rouge).
