Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: This course offers critical overview of women's art, art criticism / art theory and design in the interwar period in Vienna.

Content: This course examines how women fashioned their own artistic languages by subverting accepted norms of style and aesthetics and further redressing topics of social relations and self-representation. In connection with the repositioning of women in Viennese society this course asks what possibilities were present for women in the public discourse through expansion of the cultural and artistic language in this period? Reviewing the special contributions of women to Viennese culture in the interwar period reconsiders the critical reception of socialist and conservative political views of women's roles in society. Questions to be address are how did a group of professional women offer new scholarship and art to challenge patriarchic perspectives and practices? And, more specifically, in achieving these ends do they not only engage aesthetics but also with sociological and psychological theories?

Methods: Art Theory, Gender Studies, Art and Sociology, Hermeneutics.
