The students will be able to expand their knowledge of the most central theories and concepts in relevant art science and will develop their ability to relate art to other media expressions. | Contents
The course provides the in-depth study of the theory and methodology of art science. The dimension of historiography - the history of art history - is closely discussed in studies of central concepts of the field. Furthermore, different methodological and theoretical starting points for the understanding and interpretation of works of art and other types of pictures and visual objects, including the contemporary world of pictures and objects, are discussed. The focus will be on contextualisation in various respects, where, among other things, interpretation with gender perspectives as a starting point is given special attention.
