French Intellectuals in the Short Twentieth Century, 1918 - 1989 (Dissertation) (HIST0841)

This module explores the role of intellectuals in French political and cultural life during the short twentieth century (1918-1989). It will explore the different waysthat intellectuals understood their responsibilities as public figures, their role in shaping debates over issues such as fascism, communism, collaboration and resistance, feminism, decolonization, and the Cold War. In addition to studying the political engagements of intellectuals, we shall also pay some attention to the wider cultural impact of intellectuals' innovations in fields such as literature, philosophy and anthropology

Seeing Through Materials: Matter, Vision and Transformation in the Renaissance (HART0142)

The module investigates the multiple ways that the experience of looking, of vision and understanding were informed in the Renaissance by material concerns and the effects of how materiality was staged in the visual field. Focussing on a wide range of artworks, sites and sacred objects (in paint, stone, metal and glass), 'seeing through' is interpreted in relation to artistic practice, theories of vision, reception and systems of knowledge and belief. While the course primarily addresses the late fourteenth to the early sixteenth century in Europe, especially Italy, we pay attention to how what is seen, and how it is understood, is transformed by the contemporary encounter.

A major objective is to re-connect questions of artistic labour with theoretical speculation, the physical matter of art with art's historical functions, especially the idea of its transcendence, and the understanding of works in multiple media as both historically situated and surviving into the present. So 'transformation' will refer to those changes of state staged in and through media and images in the period, but also to the changes worked on them over time, including how present day conditions and technologies of vision have changed them. What aspects of both surface and signification have become more opaque even as hidden layers and structures can come into view?
