Russian Summary/Аннотация

Курс представляет собой введение в текстуальную критику как историческую

методологию. В нем рассматривается широкий спектр методологических стратегий,

многие из которых были выработаны в результате лингвистического поворота в

исторических науках и в качестве реакций на вызов, брошенный гуманитарному знанию

постмодернизмом. В задачи курса входит развитие у его слушателей концептуальных и

критических навыков работы с текстами, анализа явных и имплицитных допущений,

сделанных в данном тексте, умения полемизировать с их авторами, подвергать сомнению устоявшиеся познавательные процедуры и вырабатывать альтернативные

подходы.

Abstract This course is to ground students in forms of critical analysis of texts as historical sources. It uses a wide range of examples of historical work that draws on both different textual material and different methodological strategies. The course views texts as complex and often ambiguous phenomena, as having lifelines and biographies that are socially embedded and situated. Materials of the course reflect on a variety of methodologies of critical analysis that have emerged after linguistic turn and in reaction to the postmodern challenge of the late twentieth century. The focus of the course is equally theoretical and empirical. A large part of the course is designed to incorporate the “learning-by-doing” principle, and therefore maintain a practical focus of theoretical criticism. Students will learn about the interplay between the form and content of texts, as well as about the constructions which build narratives. The workload involves mandatory participation in and preparation for in-class discussions and writing assignments of original essays. Learning Objectives of this course are to give students experience in hands-on exploration of practices of textual analysis, critique and comparison, as well as writing methodology. The course’s learning outcomes are abilities in reading and writing conceptually and critically, unpacking given texts’ both explicit and implicit assumptions, understanding, and debating, their authors’ premises as well as procedures of knowledge. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the course students will be examined in:

• knowledge of how to analyze key features of text and narrative as historical sources, including the issues surrounding texts’ authorship and edition, and its status as original or copy.

• ability to contextualize historical sources, characterize different texts and narratives, and apply various approaches to the textual analysis

2

• understanding theoretical and methodological issues in the analysis of texts and narrative theory, such as fictionality, narrative instances, focalization, plot, discourse, and their implications to historical research

• learned skills of historical analysis of texts in practice of research The courses learning outcomes include the list of competences detailed below in the programme Methods of Instruction The course consists of both lectures and seminars. Seminars will focus on marked* key readings for each of the themes (see curriculum below) Grading System: - seminar participation (15%) - class assignments (35%) - take home final essay exam (50%) - late assignments will be marked down by 10% of the mark per day - if you plagiarize, you fail.
