Learning outcomes
|
The seminary aims to acquaint students with the problematics of European medieval cities from the socio-historical point of view. Our focus point will therefore be the townsmen and women and relations between the inhabitants of the city, not the city itself as a type of a human seat or its functions in the structure of a country. Male and female town inhabitants will be examined in a wide range of social roles from the so called Patricians (or more precisely: urban elites) to beggars, juggles and prostitutes, for whom the description "people on the margins" was adopted by the historiography.
Student is able to characterize the urban society of the Middle Ages regarding its structure through social strata and its organization at the level of political representation, municipal corporations as well as households.
