Paradigms in Art and Architectural History

Activity: Participating in or organising an event Participation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

The PhD seminar Paradigms in Art- and Architectural History is chaired by prof.dr. Kitty Zijlmans (professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory, Leiden University) and dr. Freek Schmidt (assistant professor History and Theory of Architecture, VU University Amsterdam). Particularly designed for PhD-students in Art and Architectural History, the course will examine and discuss the existence of selections and structures in art and architectural historical research. The main question under examination will be: how does one define his/her field of research? And which rationales constitute that demarcation? From this starting point, the two-day course will provide an in-depth discussion of art historical methodologies, approached from current status quaestionis. The course is suitable for the structuring of any art historical PhD-thesis. Participants are asked to prepare and contribute to a short bibliography, to participate in the discussions and to give a short presentation of their research on the second day, based on the main question of the course and the presentations by the professors on the first day.
