Course aims

The main goal of this subject is to make students acquainted with the historiography and ethnography and its position in the system of science and society. The students are led to that to acquire basic knowledge about the historical development of ethnographical processes in various regions of our country, to know to characterize (outline) these processes and compare them with one another, to define the expressive differences in the evolution of these processes in particular areas of our country. The students are led to that to know how to explain the importance of these ethnical processes by use of an analysis not only for the region where they had came into being and proceeded, but also for the other regions in our country. The students have to be able to point out these processes, customs and traditions, which are so meaningful, that run over the frontiers of region where they had originated and, nowadays, they form and affect life of our all society. The students will also learn to investigate these processes within the frame of tutorials and field research using various kinds of special literature and archival materials.
