Monash University Arts Undergraduate Handbook, 1997 - Art history and theory studies in combination with other subject areas

Art history and theory studies in combination with other subject areas

Students are encouraged to consider combining their art history and theory studies with other relevant and compatible disciplines and subject areas taught in the Faculty of Arts. Examples are film and television studies (also taught in the Department of Visual Arts), comparative literature and cultural studies, classics and archaeology, history, performing arts, women's studies, and a range of relevant European and Asian languages.

Particular attention is drawn to the following subjects:

ANY3390 The anthropology of art (not offered in 1997)
CLS1010/1020 Text and context I and II
CLS2130/3130 Culture and society: Introduction to cultural theory
CLS3110 Cultural studies: the consumer society
WMN2240/3240 Introduction to contemporary feminist theory

Students interested in construction of interdisciplinary courses should consult the relevant entries for American studies, Asian studies, Australian studies, European studies, Women's studies and Comparative literature and cultural studies. Art history and theory subjects are also relevant to the degrees constructed around European and Australian studies, and the major stream in American studies; ie VSA1010, VSA2230/3230 and VSA2270/3270 are of relevance to a degree in Australian studies; VSA2150/3150 is of relevance to a degree in women's studies; VSA2110/3110, VSA2130/3130 and VSA2790/3790 are of relevance to a degree in European studies; VSA2130/3130 is of relevance to a degree in American studies.

Possibilities also exist for combining art history and theory studies with studio practice, as taught in the College of Art and Design. Interested students should consult this handbook under the entry for painting and drawing or the handbook for the College of Art and Design for 1997.
