International summer school: (Moravian) Middle ages in the Mirror of the 20th century

Between 9th and 12th of September, the International Summer School "(Moravian) Middle ages in the Mirror of the 20th century" will take place at Masaryk University in Hans Belting Library. The summer school will be held in cooperation with University of Lausanne in Switzerland and University of Zagreb in Croatia. The main goal is to create a mutual international dialogue among the PhD students of the history of art. The program will focus on the evaluation of historiographic approaches in the Czechoslovak history of art within the European horizon.

The schedule of the programm is divided into two sessions. First, two all-day excursions to Brno and Olomouc will acquaint the group with the most important medieval works of art. The visits will be organized by the students of the Brno Department of Art History. This first part is followed by a series of lectures from scholars from the Czech Academy of Sciences, the Masaryk University in Brno and some selected PhD students. The summer school program will end with a group of foreign students presenting their own research from a historiographical point of view.
