PRESENTATION

The PhD program in Theories and History of Arts focuses on interweaving the disciplines of history of architecture and of cities, philosophy and history of the arts, aesthetic theory, and the conservation of architectural heritage.

Coordinated by Prof. Donatella Calabi, the PhD program's faculty body is comprised of professors and researchers from the departments of History of Architecture and of Arts and Industrial Design of the University Iuav of Venice, as well as from other Italian universities (Pisa, Verona, Udine) and international universities (Duke University, New York University, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Université de Genéve).

Although the program is based prevalently on the academic program of the Iuav of Venice, it also relies on a number of international agreements and partnerships with American and European universities and research institutes.

research areas

The PhD program is focused on conducting research that is directly connected to the historical-critical analysis of artistic practices, in all their various forms (architecture, visual arts, cinema and photography, music, theatre, dance, etc...), as well as in the complex relationships that exist among them. The themes have been organized in three broad areas of theory and criticism: the history of artistic systems - systems which intercept, organize, and guide artistic theory, practices, and products; the history of knowledge which allows artistic practices to be set in place; nd the individuals and professionals in the field, including producers (creators and executors), dealers, critics, historians, collectors, and users.
