Profile
The programme Visual Culture and Art History provides advanced historical and theoretical analysis of art and other related forms of visual representation and communication, but situates that analysis within the wider field of cultural production, under the term of “visual culture”. In the past 30 years or so, the meaning and identity of “art” has been a central topic of investigation and, consequently, traditional practices of art history.The programme takes such scrutiny as its starting point. Hence, while the study of works of art will form the backbone of the programme, traditional stylistic, iconographic, semiological and aesthetic modes of analysis (and their assumptions) will be viewed in the light of other modes of inquiry.The primary focus is on Mediterranean, Caucasian, Euro-American art and visual cultures, but students will also be encouraged to engage with wider theories of globalization and their pertinence for understanding economies of visual representation. This will include both specifically post-colonial perspectives to wider methods addressing issues in cross-cultural analysis.This programme is divided into two main study directions: a more traditional teaching of lectures and seminars and interactive teaching including laboratories of humanities and professionalizing activities. The student writes a Master’s thesis based on the relevant coursework.
