Cíle předmětu
The main objective of this course is to introduce the students to the very notion of 'visual culture' in the Middle Ages. Starting with a historiographical reflection on the notion of 'visual culture', the course will attempt to present the main issues and methodological tools in the study of medieval 'visual culture'.
The principal axis of the reflection will revolve around specific media used in the Middle Ages, trying to understand the interaction between space, rituals, and visual culture. The overarching objective of the course is thus to show patterns and semantic categories anchored to the premodern visual culture but relevant also for today.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course, a student will be able to:
- understand the notion of 'visual culture' into the context of the premodern Mediterranean and global medieval art;
- analyze current research directions in visual studies with a critical gaze and a clear consciousness of historiography;
- know the main media used in the medieval world and their impact on conception, perception, and reception of visual cultures;
- understand the transcultural dimensions of the medieval period, visible into monuments and objects;
- avoid the colonial gaze on past cultures.
