Course Content (Syllabus)
The seminar is a short introduction to the study and the methodologies applied in examining material culture, with an emphasis on art and architecture, of the Western World during the Middle Ages. The course explores the material as part of a parallel phenomenon to the artistic production and the material culture of Byzantium and the East with a focus mainly on religious art and architecture. The course examines the factors that shaped the trends of artistic production which are usually common or project a similar course of development both in the East and West, while on other occasions we can detect influences and the dissemination of formal characteristics both ways. Besides presenting the material itself, the course examines issues of the methodologies applied and problems that are surfacing in the research concerning it. Moreover, it explores established notions that appear frequently in the bibliography. These notions have also influenced the development in the study of Byzantium's Art and Archaeology which was mainly shaped with methodologies borrowed from the study of the culture of Western Middle Ages.
