Marginal Social Groups: Jews, Lepers, Prostitutes and Other Outcasts. Discrimination and Integration Instructor: Mónika Mátay ELTE (Budapest) Economic and Social History Department E-mail: matay.monika@btk.elte.hu Aim of the course: The course is aimed to introducing students into the history and historiography various marginal social groups, including some female groups, Jews, gypsies, disabled, poor people, and criminals. The major text of the lessons, readings, online class discussions and tasks provide a short overview of the parallel history of these marginal groups in Europe where we try to understand how they faced permanent challenges from the world around them, and how they were able or unable to meet the requirements of larger societies and the state. We also try to reconstruct to what extent they managed to integrate themselves into various European countries. The wide range of different social groups and identities provides us to pose questions about similarities and differences. In addition, the lessons and the readings focus on cultural, social and theoretical issues, among others, historical memory, nationalism and national symbols, oral history, modernization, historical anthropology and representation. During the classes we incorporate the findings of the latest historiographical trends into our work, and we use various historical sources. Besides scholarly essays, we analyze memoirs, literary texts, microhistorical studies, visual images and documentaries. The course combines the grand narratives, the macrohistorical approach with microscopic topics, such as case studies which allow us to follow social, cultural and historical changes more closely.
