More art! More ideas! This module deepens your existing thematic and historiographical knowledge building on Art and Ideas 2.
We will be looking back at both `the history of art history` before the twentieth century, and new theoretical approaches to new kinds of art and ideas such as performance and queer art.
The aims of the module are:
1. to equip students with a range of the latest methodologies in art history, visual and material culture, performance studies and the digital humanities;
2. to provoke critical reflection on the social role, meaning and purpose of art and culture.
By the end of the module students will:
1. have a sound understanding of recent methodological turns beyond art history;
2. be able to articulate and critically evaluate a number of central issues in visual and material culture;
3. be able to evaluate the success of theoretical discussions of these issues with regard to a range of case studies;
4. be able to demonstrate all these competences through seminar presentations and discussions combining theoretical and primary source material and in written work.
Also available as an outside option to students on other courses with the Module Supervisor`s permission.
There will be a two-hour combined lecture and seminar each week. There will also be a Reading Week when no teaching will take place, exact week TBC.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
