The programme combines study of the arts and their audiences in Europe with those in non-Christian cultures (Islam and China). The main focus is on issues stemming from consideration of cultural exchange and interaction between West and East.
One example is the practice of exchanging gifts, its traditions, diplomatic significance and intellectual consequences. The programme will also consider issues concerning pilgrimage and conquest, and will address questions arising from study of the rise of global trade and travel. These embrace such topics as:
* material exchange (e.g. ivory, pigments and silks);
* pilgrimage;
* travel;
* literature and its uses;
* artistic and technological exchange; * the taste of the exotic.
The programme includes the possibility of taking an internship in a museum, public institution or similar organisation.
The programme aims:
* to introduce students to research in medieval History of Art at the highest level;
* to open up issues of global cultural exchange for academic debate;
* to draw attention to contemporary resonances stemming from study of medieval visual culture;
* to prepare students for further scholarly research, or for a career working with medieval objects, images or works of art, in museums, libraries, archives, and other collections.
