Course objectives
The seminar offers students to deepen and systematize their professional knowledge in the field of history of literature and visual arts. The main purpose of the seminar is to introduce the relationship between text (or writing) and image as it has developed historically within literature and the visual arts from the earliest period to the present. The main focus of the seminar is on the period from the 1950s to the 1980s.

In the course of the seminar, students will become familiar with concepts such as Lettrism, conceptual art, visual poetry, etc.
Learning outcomes
