  • ARHI 34490: Visualizing Modern Ireland: 20th Century Irish Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    AH 30030 Visualizing Modern Art: 20th Century Irish Art at UCD; This module looks at the major developments in Irish art from political independence in 1922 to the emergence of the Celtic Tiger in the mid 1990s. These developments are set within the context of conflicting attitudes towards nationalism and modernism by the State, critics and artists. The course considers the role of official, corporate and private patronage, and the function of exhibition societies in the production and display of modern Irish art. It examines how Irish art has reflected the modernisation of Irish society and how it has contributed to and challenged notions of Irish cultural identity. The last section of the course focuses on key ways in which post 1970 Irish art has confronted the earlier tradition through the use of new media and new forms of practice.

  • ARHI 34515: Museums and Cultural Politics in Britain

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    As I see it, a museum is an answer to a fundamental question; what does it mean to be a human being?...The most vital function of museums is to balance, to regulate what we might call the symbolic ecology of cultures, by putting forward alternative views and thus keeping choice and critical dialogue alive. Neil Postman, "Museums as Dialogue," Museum News 69 (1990) As Postman observes, museums are places in which a society can define itself and present itself publicly. Museums embody culture, endowing it with a tangibility which provides an anchor for an increasingly cybernetic world. They also shine a spotlight on how culture changes. More museums are opening every day; more people are attending than ever before. Why? We shall attempt to answer this question by focusing on museums in London. We shall look at the history of collecting in the West and specific collectors in Britain, at the development of private collections into public institutions, current curatorial practices, and contemporary controversies related to museums. Much of our attention will focus on art museums, but we shall also examine museums of natural history, ethnography and history, as well as house museums.
