- Learning outcomes: The course is intended as an English-language introduction to the historiography and theory of history in the 19th and 20th centuries. Students attending this course will get a clear overview of the development of the discourse of history from the beginnings to the early 21st century: both as far as historiography is concerned and as for the theory of history. The stress, however, will be on the 19th and – especially – on the 20th century.
