Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the seminar is to develop the ability to read critically a scholarly English text and to introduce students to key texts in 20th century art history, especially current trends in Anglo-American art. Text selections include texts in methodology, art history, visual culture, cultural studies, and art theory and criticism. Part of the course will be devoted to historiography of Czech art history.
Students will gain a deeper understanding of 20th-century methodology and current trends in thinking and writing about art, and will deepen their critical thinking about texts representing different approaches.
