Abstract

Advanced Research Methods in the History and Theory of Art and Architecture

Objective

Acquiring insight in the different possible research methods available to PhD-researchers in the fields of the history and theory of art and architecture.

Content

Mannerism - baroque - rococo The seminar will treat the history and historiography of European architecture of the 16th up to 19th century, with a central focus on the uses and meaning of these three notions. The aim is to confront historiographic reflection with historical enquiry, in order to familiarise participants with key moments in architectural history, while provoking a critical reflection on how this history is written. The seminar will consist of collective readings of key texts as well as guest lectures by leading scholars.
