Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Dealing with the theme of transience has preoccupied art for many centuries. However, the focus of the seminar will be less on the present, but rather on the Middle Ages and the early modern period, exploring various forms of these images of death. The vanitas theme will not only be explored in terms of motifs and subjects, but also with regard to the question of how the abstract object can be represented phenomenologically, allegorically or in its performative dimension. Special consideration will also be given to theological and philosophical theories, which are central to a comprehensive examination of this topic.
