課程概述

本課程以近代早期(16至18世紀)歐洲文化發展為主要討論對象,內容包含三個面向,簡稱「3M」:禮儀(Manners)、物質(Materiality)、男子氣概(Masculinity),這三者牽涉的是此時代社會文化、物質(視覺)文化及性別文化的發展,它們在文藝復興(the Renaissance)的影響下,有多元且精彩的發展,可幫助學生掌握近代早期歐洲歷史發展的重要課題,也能精進文化史與歐洲史的研究能力。

*選課注意事項:大學部大三以上及碩士班皆可修習,欲加簽者可於開學前寫信給授課教師,並請務必出席第一週課程。 

課程目標
1. 本課程透過三主題引導學生關注近代早期歐洲重要文化史議題,也協助學生瞭解此三者彼此連結的關係,使禮儀史、物質文化史,與男性史研究,不再是分立的三個議題,而是相互補充、彼此透視的三個面向。
2. 本課程以研討(seminar)方式,帶領學生共同閱讀經典史料及重要學術專著,將可提升學生對史料及學術作品的掌握,也能協助學生設定自己的研究議題、蒐集和分析相關材料。
3. 鼓勵跨域連結:本課程牽涉性別、物質文化、藝術、圖像、文學等多元領域,修課學生可嘗試結合多元材料,發展具創意的研究課題。
