DESCRIPTION
This course goes beyond the borders of empires, states and political history to discuss and analyze what makes the Middle Ages an artistic, architectural and intellectual momentum from the 5th to the 15th centuries CE. It studies the arts and architecture of various cultures and covers vast geographical and chronological scopes. We will deal with West Europe, the Islamic World, Iran, India, China, the Byzantine Empire, and the so-called Vikings (Danes). Field studies are an integral part of the course.
