Class Details
This course on the methods and historiography of art history is designed to offer art history majors an overview of the discipline since 1900. The course will survey influential concepts of the discipline, the evolving tasks it has set itself, and methods it has adopted for executing them. Works of art will inevitably enter into our discussions, but the main objects of study will be texts about art as well as texts about methods for an historical study of art. Topics include (depending on individual instructor): style and periodization; iconography, semiotics; narratology, spectatorship; the social functions of images and the social history of art; art and the market; gender and sexuality; and art-historical narrative as representation.
