Europe
This course aims to provide an overview of the
rich cultural diversity of the Slavonic-speaking
countries of south-eastern Europe (the
‘
Balkans’). Focusing primarily on Bulgaria and
the countries of the former Yugoslavia, the
course combines elements of history, cultural
tradition and contemporary art to illustrate some
of the distinctive aspects of the various nations
of the region. It also places the work of many of
the internationally celebrated writers, filmmakers
and artists of south-eastern Europe in their
broader cultural contexts.
The course consists of a one and a half hour
lecture per week. Lectures are delivered by staff
of Trinity College Dublin and special guest
lecturers.
