Cíle předmětu
This course offers a critical account of art and architecture in Austria-Hungary from 1873, the year of the World Fair in Vienna, to 1918, when Austria-Hungary collapsed. Its main focus is on Vienna, but it will also discuss examples from other sites in the Habsburg Empire, e.g. Prague, Budapest, for comparison and context.

It examines the ways in which art and architecture both reflected and also shaped the cultural politics of the late nineteenth-century in Vienna and elsewhere in Austria-Hungary. The course considers not only central and well-known individual artists and architects such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner and Koloman Moser, but also broader thematic topics, including, for example, museums and exhibitionary practices, debates on folk and vernacular culture, historicism and national traditions, gender and sexuality; urbanisation and the experience of modernity; photography and mass media.

Being delivered in English, the course will also include a session on the use of academic English and styles of writing.
