Annotation
Conventional historiography used to claim that modernity characterized by the rise of nationalism, capitalism and the emergence of powerful state institutions relegated religion into purely private domain. Recent socio-historical analyses have challenged this view of linear secularisation both in Western and Eastern Europe.
The aim of this course will be to present this type of historiographical production with a special focus on the interrelatedness of nation and religion (nationalisation of religion/sacralisation of the nation) in Central Europe.
