Outline (in English)

Habsburg Monarchy was a mere amalgam of defferent territories acquired and inherited by the house of Habsburgs through marriages and wars. Therefore it was anachronistic exixtence by itsself, lacking a potentiality to develop to an integrated modern state. The Long Nineteenth century was for it a process of decay leading to an inevitable dissolution, a process driven by nationalism, nationality conflicts... Such an argument is based on a view which presupposes a centralized homogeneous nation-state as a normality of modern state, and depicts history the Habsburg monarchy as an anormality deviated from the "normal" development of European modernity. As its succeeding states in Central and Eastern Europe legitimates their existing by stressing their "national" characters, such vision of history often constructed basic pattern of historical narrative. Can we still understand history of the Monarchy in such a way? In this course, first, we will briefly sketch a historical region "Central Europe", then the building of the Habsburg monarchy from the Middle age to the Enlightenment. After summarizing historiography of Habsburg monarchy and more important theoretical problems, we will investigate some of the most essential topics of the Monarchy in "the long 19th. century".
Following the course last academic year, the main object of the analyse is history of Bohemian Lands and Galicia (today, south-eastern part of Poland and western Ukraine).
