The aim of the lecture and seminar is to familiarize students with key theoretical texts in 20th and 21st century art history and to develop their ability to critically read academic texts, with an emphasis on current trends in art history methodology in the Anglo-American region. 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 current discourse on art and the roots of current trends (new art history, visual culture, post-isms, contemporary art criticism, paradigm shifts). Part of the course will also be devoted to selected figures in Czech art history. The seminar is based on reading texts from lesson to lesson and discussing the texts and terms. A critical and analytical approach to the text will be stimulated by group discussion of the texts and a final independent written assignment on a selected direction or topic.
