| The course focuses on the modes, customs and traditions of the lives of people in early modern and modern Europe. The main subjects of Social History are the reaction of different sub-groups of society to the emergence of the modern state, the relations between city and country and the conflicts between social strata. Their life styles changed considerably parallel to the growth of urbanization: the development of the guilds and their transformation into trade-unions, changes in agriculture and their repercussions on peasantry, belief systems and folk practices as well as gender issues are among the topics to be studied. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
