ARTH 504
Methods of Art History and Criticism
Fall 2009
Division I
This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
This is a seminar in the intellectual history of the history of art, with some concentration on the ways in which this disciplinary tradition has been challenged by recent critical theory. It will begin its study with the “founders” of the field and end with issues and problems that generated the “new art history” twenty years ago and “visual studies” in the last decade. Topics to be covered include: style, iconography/iconology, semiotics, identity politics, formalism, deconstruction, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, feminism, Marxism, and gender studies. Resident Clark Fellows will occasionally talk to us on perspectives of their choice.
