Main themes
Attentive to spatial and temporal changes, the course will be based on a documentary corpus available in translation. It will develop, for the contemporary/modern period, the knowledge of institutional frameworks, in the sociological sense of the term: constituted by a set of tasks, beliefs, rules, practices and behaviours instituted between people, these institutional frameworks have a particular purpose and a certain stability over time. These institutions can be political, social, religious, economic, cultural and religious. Their knowledge is essential for research on the contemporary/modern period and will introduce them to recent historiographical problems and methods.
