Schools of Art History
The aim of the course is to explore what defines and characterizes a school of Art History. The language of instruction is English.
Within the broader field of Art History, several different schools are active. Among the most famous ones are the Vienna School and the Warburg Institute. Other are less known or formalized, such as the school of French Semiotics or the tradition of writing catalogue raisonné. The aim of the course is to explore what defines and characterizes a school of Art History: How is it established and developed? Is there a certain ideology or politics to it? What kind of study objects are preferred? Does it exercise a particular style of writing? Students will be able to focus on a certain school that interests them and through presentations and seminars there will be made room for comparisons, discussions and general conclusions.
