WiSe 18/19: Rethinking a medieval polity – The Mamluk Empire

Konrad Hirschler

Information for students

The module "Islamische Geschichte" consists of 2 parts. Seminar 1/reading course 1 in winter semester, seminar 2/reading course 2 in summer semester. On completion of both you will get 15 LP.

Additional information / Pre-requisites

You are expected to attend all sessions and you should notify me in advance if you are unable to attend a session for good reason. If absences persist you will not be able to take the final oral examination (10 mins). You are expected to read the Required Reading (primary and secondary sources). As we will discuss the Required Reading in detail please bring paper copies to class or have the texts onscreen. It is expected that you participate actively in the seminar discussion, which is a crucial element of the course. You should make your contribution through the critical assessment of the reading assignments, consideration of peer comments and the discussion of ideas and arguments presented in class. close

Comments

The seminar introduces students to the main debates on Mamluk history, the main new fields of research and, for those taking the Lektürekurs, principal source genres.
