Learning outcomes
|
The course is a continuation of Bc. course Historiography of Art History - Methodology I. The course will provide basic introduction to the development of the methodology of art history from the 1960s to the present and the influence of other disciplines on art history. The aim is also to develop the ability to read critically and to acquaint students with key approaches to 20th century art history, especially current trends in the Anglo-American area. The selection of texts includes texts from methodology, art history, visual culture, cultural studies and art theory and criticism. It will focus on demonstrating the diversity of the discourse on art and the roots of current trends (new art history, visual culture, post-isms, contemporary art criticism, paradigm shifts - the visual, performative, material and object turns). The selection of texts loosely follows the older approaches discussed in the subject Methodology I, but focuses on gaining a basic orientation in contemporary Anglo-American writing about art and related cultural topics. A critical approach to the text will be stimulated by the group's discussion of the texts and the final independent written work on a selected direction or topic. The course requires an active student approach and reading texts. The seminar will focus on texts from the anthologies of D. Preziosi, E. Fernie, R. S. Nelson - R. Shiff and the trio of editors Cheetham-Holly-Moxey, and will be supplemented by author's texts on the electronic teaching system jcu - moodle.
The student will gain orientation in the ways of thinking about art of the 20th and 21st century.
