International Winter School unipv_lettere International Winter School in History Narrating History: lexicons, narratives, interpretations Pavia, 2-7 February 2015 The purpose of the course is to explore crucial aspects of historical narration, by employing an interdisciplinary approach in order to discuss a remarkably wide range of historical subjects and periods, from classical antiquity to present times. Far from focusing solely on European and Western history, the programme of the course also covers other areas. Each day, usually in the morning session, a lecture on an important historical subject will be given by an eminent scholar, soon followed by a debate introduced by a highly qualified discussant, to which all the participants are invited to contribute. A workshop will be held later on, connected to the main theme of the day, during which significant examples of primary and secondary sources will be examined and discussed together with crucial methodological and interpretive issues. [see Programme] The official languages of the course are English and Italian. The teaching staff of the course combines visiting academics with members of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici and the Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e sociali of the Università di Pavia. Eligibility and admission The course is open to MA, postgraduate, and Ph.D students, as well as postdocs, researchers, and schoolteachers in the fields of Humanities and Political Science. The application deadline is 10 December 2014. [see: Application] Since enrolment numbers are limited, only 25 applicants will be admitted to the course.
