Objectives

Through this seminar, students:
a) – enter into contact with the international Artistic studies agenda of themes, theories, problematics and methodologies.
b) – acquire debating and analytical skills within the heterogeneous context of international research on artrelated issues.
c) – recognise and identify the specific features of their research projects, observing points of contact with research projects originating out of other academic and scientific realities.
d) – become able to clearly and thoroughly chart the prevailing international research dynamics in their fields and their interrelationships with the respective artistic institutions: institutions for production, circulation, exhibition, curating as well as the scientific.

Prerequisites

Subject matter

This seminar runs in partnership with the Education Service and the Centre of Modern Art, of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, whose support for this Doctoral Degree Program enables the contracting of specialist international members of staff.
Correspondingly, two such specialists are invited for each degree program with both exploring their own specific research agenda. These two participations are differentiated in time and take place in the format of two five-week long residences throughout the course of which seminar teaching duties are undertaken in conjunction with student research support initiatives, specifically aligned with their respective supervisors.
Given such reasons, we cannot further discriminate the program contents and would instead emphasise how this seminar serves as an essential point of contact between the Doctoral Degree Program and the international Artistic Studies agenda.
