Learning outcomes
|
The Slavs have appeared in written sources since the 6th century A.D. Relics discovered by archaeologists can give us further information. Yet, questions about Slavic ethnogenesis, like an exact localisation of Slavs' original homeland and their expansion mechanism, have not been fully answered. Therefore, there is a whole range of various and often even contradictory opinions and hypotheses. The above mentioned questions remain open and they belong to the most complicated problems which can only be solved on a holistic basis and on the co-operative basis of other historical, anthropological (etc.) and natural (archaeology, folkloristics, linguistics, religionistics, paleozoology, paleobotanics, climatology etc.) sciences.
The goal of this course is to map the present state of research and to analyse older and more modern hypotheses and methodological attitudes. Simultaneously, a special attention will be paid to the comparison of older history of other contemporary nations.
