Interdisciplinary theory represents a core course in the doctoral program curriculum. The content of the course has been modeled along the fact that in the undergraduate and graduate programs, students obtain general knowledge of art theory and related humanities. Hence each semester of the course is adapted to a certain extent to the current individual focus of the students in the particular year and their research needs and preferences.

Aims
The course aims at intertextualizing and deepening theoretical knowledge from a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from traditional art history, contemporary art theory, new media and visual culture theory, currently formed interdisciplinary field of curatorial studies and a wide spectrum of related humanities which inform postcontemporary artistic practices.
Students will get a overview of theories relevant for the formation of modern and conterporary art, especially theories which were formed in direct relation to the needs of the evaluation and interpretation of art which gradually departed not only from the classical canon, but also from the idea of the specific medium or artifact as the locus of theory.
