Course objectives
The aim of the lecture cycle is acquaintance with the main events, personalities and specific relations between the Czechs and the individual nations and countries of Southeast Europe (the Balkans). The mutual political, economic and cultural relations will be examined. The main attention is concentrated on the 19th and 20th centuries.
Learning outcomes
The students will be acquainted with the basic facts of Czech-Balkan relations, receive information on the source and historiographic bases of this issue. They will acquire the ability to be aware of the historical and cultural differences between the individual South Slavic nations (Slovenes, Croatians, Serbs, Bosnians, Montenegrans, Macedonians, Bulgarians). In a synoptic form, they also learn the existing development of the relations of Czechs with the non-Slavic nations of Southeast Europe; they will be capable i.a. of critically dealing with some continuing prejudices concerning Balkan Muslims. They will acquire interesting stimuli for their own research activity.
