The seminar and lecture provide a diverse introduction to Estonian culture and history (from the 20th century to the present day): an overview of the most important events in history, music, literature, visual and performing arts. The following aspects are covered: Nordic nature as the cornerstone of Estonian culture, historical milestones as shapers of Estonian identity, traditional culture in the present day, etc. In order to gain an insight into the various aspects of Estonian culture, examples from literature, folklore, music, film, theatre, and the visual and performing arts are analysed. Active participation by students, e.g. in the form of seminar presentations, is expected. No prior knowledge of the language or participation in the course ‘History and Culture of Estonia I’ is required.
