Learning unit contents

"Basic concepts of Religion and Politics through Sculpture and Painting". This second year course presents around ten sculptural and painting monuments which are representative of Greek and Roman civilisations. The monuments will be touchstones for the study of both religion (poliad and pan-Hellenic, oracular and mystery, royal and imperial religions) and politics (monarchical or tyrannical systems, oligarchies and democracies).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The BLOC 1 (HAAR0066-1) and the BLOC 2 (HAAR0069-1) courses include two additional sections in the same vein. These consist of strengthening basic knowledge about the study of Antiquity (historical references and geographical information, political institutions and religious behaviours). The major learning outcomes can be summarised in three precise points: analytical note-taking in class - analytical and verification work in the library - ability to use encyclopaedias and basic publications.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None - bearing in mind that the History of Art and Archaeology of Greek-Roman Antiquity is only one element of the indissociable whole of the Sciences of Antiquity (history, philology, and the history of religion).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

For BAC students, regular presence in class is required, as well as analytical study and verification work in the library, which is required in order to cover all the material presented. These hours of personal study throughout the year should be equivalent (or greater than) the number of hours in class. It is also advised the the foundations are laid on the basis of bibliographical and iconographical information.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
