本課程以近代早期（16至18世紀）歐洲文化發展為主要討論對象，內容包含三個面向，簡稱「3M」：禮儀（Manners）、物質（Materiality）、男子氣概（Masculinity），這三者牽涉的是此時代社會文化、物質（視覺）文化及性別文化的發展，它們在文藝復興（the Renaissance）的影響下，有多元且精彩的發展，可幫助學生掌握近代早期歐洲歷史發展的重要課題，也能精進文化史與歐洲史的研究能力。 *選課注意事項：大學部大三以上及碩士班皆可修習，欲加簽者可於開學前寫信給授課教師，並請務必出席第一週課程。

1. 本課程透過三主題引導學生關注近代早期歐洲重要文化史議題，也協助學生瞭解此三者彼此連結的關係，使禮儀史、物質文化史，與男性史研究，不再是分立的三個議題，而是相互補充、彼此透視的三個面向。 2. 本課程以研討（seminar）方式，帶領學生共同閱讀經典史料及重要學術專著，將可提升學生對史料及學術作品的掌握，也能協助學生設定自己的研究議題、蒐集和分析相關材料。 3. 鼓勵跨域連結：本課程牽涉性別、物質文化、藝術、圖像、文學等多元領域，修課學生可嘗試結合多元材料，發展具創意的研究課題。
