Description

Introduces art history and cultural analysis as forms of narrative, which aim to explain and integrate cultural objects into historical or other order. Draws upon and critically assesses the key methodologies (such as connoisseurship, periodisation, formalism, iconography, historicism and historical materialism, social history, psychoanalysis, semiotics, high culture/popular culture, ethnocentrism, and feminism). These methodologies will be examined by reference to such historians as Wolfflin, Panofsky, Gombrich, Baxandall, Fry, Antal, Clark, and Pollock.
