univie: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies
The Discovery of Modernity - Vienna Around 1900
ONLINE PROGRAM
February 5 - 18, 2022
The
winter school courses provide a well-structured introduction into one of the
most fascinating periods of Austria's intellectual history in a short time. The culture of the fin-de-siècle is
one of the highlights in the history of the Habsburg Monarchy.
The
two-week program
offers a variety of academic courses taught live online. The courses are held
by distinguished scholars
with international
teaching experience. The interdisciplinary lectures will lead
to a thorough understanding of the input of the fin-de-siècle on the
modernization of Europe.
The live online
courses encourage interactive
participation. These courses with international participants
offer the possibility to discuss the influence of developments in Vienna (e.g.
the famous psychoanalyst Freud, painters like Klimt and Schiele, musicians like
Mahler and Schönberg or philosophers like Wittgenstein) on different cultures
in Europe and other continents.
A welcome session
will introduce the participants to the winter school and give them the
opportunity to meet informally with the staff and each other.
The winter program also includes an online
tour of Vienna's Ringstraße and Art Nouveau in Vienna.
Social online gatherings as well as group work in breakout rooms
will encourage intercultural and social exchange between the students.
Participants thus broaden their horizon, meet
colleagues from different fields of study, and make new friends.
Given
the interdisciplinary aspect of the program our course offerings are, without
question, of interest for students from all fields of study, but certainly of special interest for students who
study one of the following fields: History, Cultural Studies, Art, Literature,
Psychology, and Political Science.
All
courses are taught in English. The winter school offers six courses with 4 ECTS
credits per course. In the course of the two-week program students can attend
two courses and obtain up
to 8 ECTS credits.
