U N D E R G R A D U A T E C O U R S E S (Winter Semester 2015-2016) Section of Ancient and Medieval History Ancient History (ΑΙS) ΑΙS 501 Kostas Vlassopoulos Athenian democracy (Lecture course) 5 ECTS The subject of this module is the political system of ancient Athens. It will examine Athenian democracy as a complex agglomeration of political institutions, practices and ideologies and emphasise both the system's cohesiveness as well as its major contradictions. Equally significant will be the analysis of the relationship between the Athenian political system and the social, economic and cultural framework of the period. Overall, the module will pay particular attention to the role of ordinary Athenians in the changing history of Athenian democracy. ΑΙS 590 Katerina Panagopoulou Politics, society and economy of the Hellenistic period (Lecture course) 5 ECTS Focus in the present course will be shed on distinctive themes of the politics, society and economy of Hellenistic states from the end of the fourth through to the late first century BC. The new Hellenistic kingdoms, the function and role of cities in the new political environment, civic economies and the level of monetization of Hellenistic economies, aspects of demography, the relations between the indigenous people and the Greeks, population and military movements, the slave trade and legislation matters are among the topics which will be discussed, in order to understand fully the new world of the Eastern Mediterranean states subsequent to the transmission of Greek institutions and civilization through to the easternmost end of the East.

This seminar sets out to examine aspects of Alexander s era through detailed study of ancient testimonies (literary, epigraphical, papyrological and numismatic) concerning his rise to power and his undertaking of the Asia Minor campaign. Priority will be given to the analysis of primary sources rather than to the most prolific secondary bibliography concerning the personality of Alexander the Great. Our aim is to reconstruct in as objective a way as possible the historical context within which the uniform Hellenistic world was created and to understand better the limits between historical reality and the construction of a myth concerning a historical figure.

VIS 400 Demetrios Kyritses From sources to synthesis: the craft of the 5 ECTS historian of the Byzantine Middle Ages (Lecture course) The course examines how the science of history locates, evaluates and processes the traces left behind by the activity of humans in the past, in order to produce a synthesis that is both logically arranged and documented. We will focus on the specific issues related to the writing of Medieval and, more particularly, Byzantine history, and we will survey the different kinds of sources, as well as historians varying methodological approaches. VIS 363 Demetrios Kyritses Poetry and history in Byzantium (Seminar) 10 ECTS In the course of the seminar we will examine Byzantine poems with historical content as sources for Byzantine history. We will attempt to locate useful historical information, cross-reference it, and place it in context. In the process, students are expected to become familiar with basic bibliography and research tools, as well as the method of basic historical research. Knowledge of classical Greek is required. Medieval History (IMCH) ΙΜCH 205 Eleni Sakellariou Society and Economy in Western Europe, 1000-1500 (Lecture course) 5 ECTS Signs of significant change around the year 1000. Demographic and economic growth in town and countryside from the eleventh to the late thirteenth century, and its interrelation with social change and institutional development. Increasing population pressure at the end of the thirteenth century leads to conditions of crisis in the first decades of the fourteenth. The protracted late medieval demographic recession as a cause of structural economic and social transformation (rising living standards, economic specialization and diversification, fluctuations in the volume of trade; change in the relationship between peasants and landlords, the question of popular revolts). The role of the emerging regional or territorial states. Particular emphasis will be given to the latest historiographical debate on these issues. ΙΜCH 331 Eleni Sakellariou War, state formation and society in Europe (8th - 14th centuries) (Seminar) 4 10 ECTS In the medieval world, there was a close relationship between the way war was waged and the emergence of the ruling social group, the aristocracy; on the other hand, sizeable portions of society were excluded from military action: not only women and children and, at least in theory, the clergy and members of monastic communities; but also the majority of the male population, peasants and simple townsmen, who were not recruited but as auxiliaries and servants of the nobility for several centuries. Besides, next to the ideology of a military aristocracy that dominated social order in medieval Europe, there existed parallel ideological

systems that rejected war and violence: Christian ethics mainly, but also, from the twelfth century, the ideological mantle of new social groups that were nurtured by economic development in the towns and cities. As the Middle Ages were waning, there were fundamental changes in the way war was waged, which reflect the radical economic, social and ideological transformation of Europe in the transition to the early modern period. Students are called to explore this changing world through their own reading and creative writing. 5

Section of Oriental and African Studies Turkish Studies (ΤΟΥ) TOY 186 Antonis Anastasopoulos Religion, state and society in the Ottoman Empire (Lecture course) 5 ECTS Course summary The aim of this course is to study the role of religion in the Ottoman state and society. Religion was a legitimising factor for the Ottoman state, which also identified its subjects on the basis of their religious identities. For Ottoman society, religion was closely associated with morality, while the legal character of Islam meant that the legal framework within which society functioned was religious in nature. The course will deal not only with Islam and the Muslim population of the Ottoman Empire, but also with the other two major religious communities, Christians and Jews. Course structure Week 1: Introduction. Week 2: The Islamic concept of state and its application in the Ottoman case. Week 3: The House of Osman and Islam. Week 4: The ulema, part I: training, hierarchy, careers. Week 5: The ulema, part II: the şeyhülislam, the kazaskers, the kadıs. Week 6: Sufism dervishes. Week 7: The Christian Orthodox Church.

Dealing with the art and architecture of these periods, lectures attempt to place these subjects in their historical, social, and literary contexts. With the accent on the visual world of Early Greek culture, origins of all sorts of momentous developments constitute a central point of research, for

during this long period representational and narrative art, monumental sculpture and architecture, (epic and lyric) poetry, the city-state (polis), tyranny and early democracy, and natural philosophy were all born.
