Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will give students an opportunity to develop skills in visual analysis and contextual interpretation of a selected image from medieval Europe. Each student will be asked to focus on the image and its multiple contexts in historical reality and theoretical reflection.

Assessment and permitted materials

The students will be asked to critically reflect on the selected example in the light of a good research literature sample. The discussions in class will be aimed at finding individual ways in making decisions which lead to a final essay. To achieve this goal, each participant will regularly make a short presentation of the most important preliminary results.
