The lecture series #zukunftderkunstgeschichte will explore new perspectives for a modernizized, contemporary approach to the Humanities, which draws upon ideas from social, political, technological and interdisciplinary contexts, without sidelining traditional methodologies.
The lectures will be given by specialists from LMU's School of Arts and external experts and scholars, and are open to all those interested.
The “Transformation of the World in the 19th Century” (the title of Jürgen Osterhammel ‘s book, first published in 2009) was accompanied by a radical change in perspectives on objects and images fashioned by artists, and on artistic ideas. Since then, interest in artistic creativity and the crafting of art beyond the confines of the Western canon has continued to grow. The participants in this evening’s event will discuss transcultural and (post-)colonial developments and the impact of forced migrations on non-Western art – in the context of the question of whether a truly global approach to the history of art is at all possible.
