Course description
This is an interdisciplinary course which provides an overview of European intellectual and cultural history, looking at Europe and its history from a range of disciplinary perspectives. It focuses on constructions and representations of identity, the emergence of the idea of Europe, political symbolism and nationalism, symbolic geographies and so on. The course builds on the inclusive, interdisciplinary approach of Trinity's undergraduate European Studies programme, but with a higher level of intellectual sophistication and breadth.

Course content:
The course consists of a compulsory two-semester module, a number of optional one-semester modules (each carrying 10 credits), and a dissertation. The compulsory (core) module, 'Europe and its Other(s): Ideas, identities and symbolic geographies in Europe', introduces a number of theoretical approaches to European intellectual, cultural and political history. Four optional single-semester modules are chosen from the lists below; these encourage students to apply and develop these approaches, with a focus both on distinct national or regional cultures and histories on the one hand, and/or specific issues and problems in European history and culture(s) on the other. Up to two of the optional modules may be taken from those offered in other programmes in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at postgraduate level; alternatively, a module from the list of those offered in other Schools may be substituted for one of these.

Core component: 'Europe and its Other(s): Ideas, identities and symbolic geographies in Europe' (two semesters)

Optional modules:
- Figurations of European National Identities
- Cultures of Memory and Identity in Central Europe
- Representations of the Other Europe: Cinema in Communist and Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe
