The objective of this PhD dissertation is to analyse and compare representations of France as a civilizational great power in at least two Central European national communities, considering geopolitical changes in the first half of the 20th century. The dissertation will scrutinize representations of France as a cultural, social, and political exemplar, identifying continuities and discontinuities and making comparisons among them. A deeper interest in historical anthropology, discourse analysis, and the methodology of historiography is assumed. The specific topic and time period will be determined during the first year of the PhD studies.
Requirements: A knowledge of at least one Central European language, English (min. B2), proficiency in French and reading skills in another Central European language.
