Kunstgeschichte

This revised second edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the key research fields, methods and concepts of art history. Alongside theoretical and practical foundations, it highlights the discipline’s close connections with neighbouring fields in the humanities. A distinctive feature of the volume is its critical examination of established conceptual frameworks and methodologies, several of which are reassessed and reformulated. The book also addresses current challenges facing art history in the digital age, particularly in relation to media studies and media art history. It is intended for students and lecturers of art history as well as readers from related humanities disciplines.
