International Winter School in History
Narrating History: lexicons, narratives, interpretations
Pavia, 2-7 February 2015
The purpose of the course is to explore crucial aspects of historical
narration, by employing an interdisciplinary approach in order to
discuss a remarkably wide range of historical subjects and periods,
from classical antiquity to present times. Far from focusing solely
on European and Western history, the programme of the course
also covers other areas.
Each day, usually in the morning session, a lecture on an
important historical subject will be given by an eminent scholar,
soon followed by a debate introduced by a highly qualified
discussant, to which all the participants are invited to contribute.
A workshop will be held later on, connected to the main theme of
the day, during which significant examples of primary and
secondary sources will be examined and discussed together with
crucial methodological and interpretive issues. [see Programme]
The official languages of the course are English and Italian.
The teaching staff of the course combines visiting academics with
members of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici and the
Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e sociali of the Università di
Pavia.
Eligibility and admission
The course is open to MA, postgraduate, and Ph.D students, as
well as postdocs, researchers, and schoolteachers in the fields of
Humanities and Political Science. The application deadline is 10
December 2014. [see: Application]
Since enrolment numbers are limited, only 25 applicants will be
admitted to the course. Admission is based on merit, therefore the
nature and quality of the CVs submitted by the applicants will be
carefully examined.
Attendance at all classes is obligatory. A certificate of participation
will be issued at the end of the course.
Venue
All classes and activities will take place in the charming lecture
halls of the Università di Pavia, except for the official dinner,
followed by an evening lecture, which will both take place in the
equally fascinating setting of the Collegio Ghislieri.
Detailed indications about the lecture halls will be provided in due
time.
