Organisation of the program of study

Transcription

1 Organisation of the program of study The Department of History & Archaeology offers two study orientations, linked to two specializations: Specialization in History Specialization in Archaeology and History of Art. Upon completion of his/her fourth term each student registers his/her selection of study orientation at the Department secretary. Independently of specialization, the programme includes compulsory subjects for both orientations, aiming at providing an encyclopaedic knowledge and facilitating the employment of the Faculty s graduates in the field of secondary education. With his/her specialization, each student engages in an in-depth approach, according to the requirements of the current state of research, in various eras or aspects and acquires specialized knowledge, stimulation and familiarization with the interpretive tools and methods of the historical and archaeological disciplines. The minimum duration of studies cannot be shorter than eight terms, during which students are free to develop their own programme of studies. Subjects are divided into base, core, specialization as well as (free) elective subjects. Basic subjects consist of courses in Literature, Philosophy and Education Studies. These courses are compulsory for our students, so as to enable them to acquire the knowledge that will allow them to approach, in the broadest manner, the specialization of their choice and to meet the requirements of a prospective career in secondary education. Core subjects include courses in History, Archaeology and History of Art and are compulsory for students of both orientations. With these courses our students acquire a common corpus of knowledge, which will serve as a basis for the subsequent, more in-depth study in the specialized branches of their discipline, provided by the specialization subjects. This latter category includes both compulsory and elective subjects. From the available Elective Specialization subjects, students are obliged to choose at least two seminars before completing their studies, in which their performance is evaluated on the basis of a seminar essay, proving their skills in the use of interpretive tools, in the choice of a significant subject of research and in their critical approach towards their subject of choice. Students may also choose from among Free Electives, which may be offered by the other study orientation (History or Archaeology compulsory or elective courses), by a different department or faculty at the University of Athens. Courses from the Faculty s programme are offered to other Faculties in the School of Philosophy, either as compulsory or as elective (joint teaching) courses.

2 Courses are supported by a webpage and offer training in the use of bibliographic databases and other search tools. The Faculty also has a digital teaching lab, housed within the archaeological museum, on the second floor of the building and exclusively used for courses requiring the use of computers by teachers and students. Practical training of students (ESPA ) This programme aims at acquainting a large number of our students with the physical locations of their future professional work and to create an interaction between academic education and relevant services. Participation in the programme is voluntary and is carried out in the ephorates of the Archaeological Service, in historical archives, museums, libraries, research centres and in the ministries of culture and education. Participants are engaged for a term of one, two, three or four months. The programme is funded by the programme ESPA (financed by the European Union and the Hellenic Republic). The academic responsibility for the Programme of Practical Training lies with associate professor G. Kourtessi- Philippakis. Students interested in the programme may address themselves for additional information to Ms. M. Charissi in the office of the Department of History. Practical training of students (voluntary) The Department of History runs a programme of voluntary work for students of the Faculty of History and Archaeology in archives and research centres. Students interested in this programme may address themselves to associate professor M. Efthymiou, who is in charge of the programme. The Department of Archaeology and History of Art also offers additional courses and free tutorials. Libraries The two departmental libraries (History and Archaeology and History of Art) comprise around 70,000 volumes of specialized books and periodicals.

3 Review of the curriculum and recommended curriculum Overview In the recommended curriculum that follows, general and mandatory courses precede specialized courses, so that students acquire a foundation of basic skills that will enable them to better assimilate specialized courses. Therefore, the first teaching terms comprise general courses and the last terms consist of specialized courses. The distribution of courses into teaching terms is indicative rather than mandatory for the student, who may combine his/her courses freely, depending on their availability. It is recommended that general precede specialized courses. Students should draw up their weekly schedule keeping in mind that their classes should not overlap. The organisation of the curriculum has been adapted to the minimum number of eight teaching terms and to the minimum number of required courses, as analysed above. Students may choose those selective courses which suit their interests, if these are available. Twice a year, in the winter and spring semesters, students must state all the courses for which they intend to take exams. These statements are submitted through the following internet address: They may use their own computers or the computers in the Library of History, the Library of Archaeology (6th floor), the Faculty IT lab (8th floor) or the University Club (15 Hippocratous St.) Failure in a mandatory course implies that the student must retake the same course. If a student fails a selective course, he/she may take another course. Students who have graduated wishing to register in the alternative studies orientation are not permitted to take the selective courses they have already passed in their first round of studies. A recommended curriculum by teaching terms along with useful notes are listed below.

11 Distribution of Courses To obtain a degree, students are required to successfully complete 52 three-hour courses, which correspond to 156 teaching hours (each course corresponds to three hours of teaching per week throughout the semester). The minimum period of study for graduation is 8 semesters. In accordance to current legislation ( 3374/ ), the program of study is structured on the basis of the principle of transferring and accumulating credits (ECTS). The number of credits represents the workload required to complete all necessary coursework, which is estimated at thirty (30) credits per semester. Overall, during their studies, students must accumulate at least 240 credits (ECTS). Note: In the indicative program of the Department of History and Archaeology, the numbers of 30 credits per semester as well as the overall 240 credits are approximate. Organization of credits Teaching hours and credits correspond to three-hour semester courses distributed in the following sections: 1) Courses mandatory for both majors a) Core courses: 11 courses x 3 teaching hours = 33 teaching hours plus 40 credits (9 courses from the department of Literature x 3.5 credits and 2 courses from the department of Philosophy, Education and Psychology 4 credits and 2.4 credits respectively). b) Core courses: 20 courses 3 teaching hours = 60 teaching hours and 5 credits = 100 credits More specifically: History courses: 10 courses 3 teaching hours = 30 teaching hours and 5 credits = 50 credits Archaeology and History of Art courses: 10 courses 3 teaching hours = 30 teaching hours και 5 credits = 50 credits

The issue remains central in research, prompting several discussions and disagreements, despite the fact that scholars on both sides consider the matter permanently resolved. The seminar aims at providing a first point of contact with the topic and at the same time investigate the main facts, which provide the basis for proving the presence or absence of a feudal system (of western type or equivalent) in Byzantium. More precisely, the course will examine specific information stemming from written historical sources as well as modern bibliography on the most important parameters of the topic, including the constitution/system of government, society and economy of the Byzantine era.

SI 78 Byzantine History Cultural relations between the declining Byzantium and Renaissance Italy. This seminar will focus on the removal of the cultural alienation between the two sectors of Christendom (Eastern and Western) and on the emergence of a new dynamic in the relations between the two as a result of their inevitable coexistence in the East after 1204, as well as on the phenomenon of mutual influences which this coexistence brought about on the political, social and economic level. From 1261 onwards and as a result of a series of factors and conditions, a number of intricate channels of communication are formed between the two worlds (like, for example, the turn of Byzantium towards the West for reasons of political expediency; the exceedingly intensive and imaginative Byzantine diplomacy targeting the major centers of Europe; the city of Constantinople as a pole of attraction for Italian humanists;

26 and the unique contribution of charismatic Byzantine intellectuals to the mutual cultural rapprochement of Byzantium with the West) - channels which will lead to cultural relations, of essential quality and proportions, between the declining Byzantium and Renaissance Italy.

27 and experience during the late medieval and early modern periods, its eventual discovery and perceptual endowment, its social dimensions, its control and management by the authorities, its ambivalent and questionable nature as perceived by the authorities, its regularization as well as its various facets and stages of development during the period in question. Katerina Konstantinidou, 3 hrs. SI 214 The Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman Empire between religious communities (millets) and nations (ca ) The seminary focuses on the description ans analysis of the legal status, the political organization, the ideological orirntations, as well as the social stratification and the economic situation in which were living the Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman Sultans during the period that begins with the foundation of the national Greek State (1830) and ends with the dissolution ao the Empire at Particular interest will be accorded to the orthodox Ottoman subjects living in Southeastern Europe and Anatolia and were, as members of the Greek nation, claimed by Greek nationalism. The Orthodox Ottoman subjects were, at the beginning of the 19 th century, under the authority of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople and belonged, according to the Ottoman legal order, to a religious community recognised by the Ottoman state (Greek-Orthodox millet or Rum milleti), independently of their ethnic origins, maternal language, geographical distribution or social strata.
