ARTH 89.02 Senior Seminar in Art Historical Theory and Method

This seminar, the Department of Art History’s “culminating experience,” helps students to locate contemporary theories and methods for the analysis of art and visual culture within a critical historiography of the discipline. Rather than concentrating on objects, a period, or a nation/region, we instead focus on how scholars have approached writing about art. The goal is not to be comprehensive, but rather to touch on key issues and problems that continue to animate the practice of art history.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
