On completion of the subject students should: have a rounded picture of a particular past social and cultural context which has left a profound impact upon European culture of the succeeding centuries up to our own; be able to reflect on the nature of the various forms of human association in that society, and the relationship between them and ideas of 'community', 'government' and 'state'; be able to reflect on the nature and role of both verbal and visual rhetoric in expressing and consolidating ideas of social order, both this-worldly and other-worldly. |
Assessment | Written work not exceeding 5000 words. |
