Leiden University, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society (LUCAS), is looking for a
University Lecturer (UD) in the Anthropology of Art
Project description
Alfred Gell, Gregory Bateson, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and several other anthropologists have enriched art history with new methods and methodological insights, offering sophisticated analyses of visual materials and the place of artworks in social networks. Their work demonstrates the centrality of the anthropology of art in both anthropology and art history debates. More recently, closer attention has been paid to the different ideas of aesthetic value in different societies. With this vacancy text, LUCAS and the Department of Art History want to confirm and even strengthen their expertise in studying the anthropology of art. We look for candidates closely involved in the intersection between art history and anthropology and well-informed of the latest insights.
