先修課程
課程簡介	The core discipline of iconography delves into the meaning of subject matters and motifs in artworks, prioritizing this aspect over formal and stylistic considerations. However, this does not imply a mere decoding of themes or symbols in an artifact. Instead, it entails the reconstruction of the intellectual background of a work to comprehend its intricate meaning. In our course, we will explore both common formulas and visual traditions, as well as specific developments and intentionally hidden subjects, to strive for a comprehensive understanding of a work’s substance. In the first step, an introduction will be given to explain the field’s development as it evolved into a major discipline within art history. It will be necessary to define what ‘iconography’—and the closely related term ‘iconology’—means and to learn about the field’s diverse strategies. This will be achieved by discussing a couple of seminal texts on methodology—by Erwin Panofsky (1892–1968), Aby Warburg (1866–1929), Jan Białostocki (1921–88), and other scholars—that were formative for the field. Concerning Erwin Panofsky’s approach, whose introductory article Iconography and Iconology (1939) will be analyzed, we shall also ask for the difference between ‘iconography’ and ‘iconology.’ In addition, we shall follow the development of iconographic studies until nowadays and ask the question, of how relevant this branch of art historical research still is. In the more practically oriented second part of the course, it will be asked which subject matters were represented by artists and which literary sources were used. We shall deal with common as well as extraordinary sources for Western religious and secular art. Furthermore, important manuals and emblem books, which were especially popular during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, will be explored. The course encompasses two primary objectives: Firstly, to equip students with the skills to comprehend the fundamental content of artworks; and secondly, to enable them to approach more complex subject matters once they have acquired knowledge of sources and research techniques. Students are asked to apply iconographic methods themselves in presentations and term papers to train research methods and the use of respective literature. Particular attention will be given to writing skills and research techniques. This seminar is an EMI course using English as a Medium of Instruction. This means that it will be fully taught in English. Special attention will be given to everyone’s needs to learn and improve the language.
