Historiography of Performing Arts

The course problematises historical writing as a scholarly and academic subject.

During the course, different aspects of how historical knowledge is structured and constructed will be taken up. In other words, the course will examine the science of writing history: historiography. The joining of aesthetic theories with the historiographical principles that shape the representation of the arts is of particular interest. Different key terms, central to historical material, will be studied. The focus of the study is selected by the individual student.
