Main themes

This seminar is designed as a preparation for the corresponding master's seminar. During the group working sessions, based on preliminary personal work, each participant presents his analysis of an aspect of the chosen theme, paying particular attention to the heuristic and critical aspects. The procedures and stages of the treatment, as well as the global synthesis and conclusions, are brought out together. The seminar will include, with this respect, an introduction to the type(s) of source(s) studied and a practical introduction to the reading of ancient writing.

Aims By the end of this seminar, the student should be capable of putting the historian's procedure into practice in the context of the documentary and critical study of a precise question in medieval history.
Evaluation methods

Evaluation based on an oral presentation completed by a written one which will take into account observations made by all the members during the oral presentation.

Content

This is a simulation seminar, preparatory to the master's seminar. But also apt to give those not centring their research and their master's memoir on the Middle Ages an as concrete as possible notion of what the medieval world was and the work of those reconstituting it. Based on a proposed theme, the procedures and stages of treatment are determined (questionnaires, heuristics, critique, analysis, synthesis and presentation of results). Thus each of the participants carries out his own research, with close accompaniment.
