Content
The professor in charge of the seminar will define its topic and propose a theme related to his research, guiding the students through printed and archive sources.

Presentations of contextualisation, meetings with witnesses or site visits provide additional indications throughout the first term.
Teaching methods

Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment (35%) based on student participation in seminar sessions (submission of reading reports) and final essay (65%).
