Inhalt/ COURSE DESCRIPTION
This seminar aims to highlight the impact of various forms of governance in Europe throughout the 20th century, such as authoritarian and totalitarian, on heritage politics. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and through comparative analysis of various case studies (such as Fascism, Nazi regimes, and Soviet dominance), students will critically examine the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of these regimes and their lasting impact on contemporary European societies. This seminar aims to foster a critical understanding of the ways in which heritage is shaped, manipulated, contested, and used as a tool for political and ideological purposes. Invited experts will contribute to various topics in the field.
