Course content

The course addresses how discourses of art are established through text and image, and how different actors influence art-historical and public debate. Central to the discussion of visual arts and / or architecture is the question of reception and historical background. The focus will be on art as rhetorical or identity-creating instrument in the context of societal change processes. The course theme varies depending on the person who has course responsibility, and can for instance address questions related to word and image, history, modernity and identity, epoch-making reviews, etc.
