Imaging Scotland: Art, Museums and Visual Culture

Course Co-ordinator: Dr J Morrison

Pre-requisite(s): Available only to students in Programme Year 5

Co-requisite(s): None

Note(s): Running in 2nd half-session 07-08

The course examines 'visual culture' in its broadest sense, placing art objects within the contexts of their material and economic production, social function and aesthetic reception. Works of art, museum artefacts and collections, archaeological sites and landscapes and art/archaeology in situ are studied, together with their relationship to the divergent identities of Scotland. The intellectual and aesthetic concerns inherent in the development of these identities and in the creation of the works, objects and collections analysed will also be considered.
