BSR Online Lecture | Approaching knowledge networks, art academies and the Grand Tour through the digital humanities

WEDNESDAY 27 MAY 18.00–19.30 CET

Jason Kelly (Indianapolis)

This presentation examines how new theoretical and methodological approaches in the digital humanities can elucidate our understanding of knowledge networks in eighteenth-century Italy and Britain. Using social network analysis tools, it offers insights into the structure of art education among Grand Tour artists by connecting structural processes to the lived experiences of artists and their patrons. Introducing a new VR project, it demonstrates new directions in research-led pedagogy and their implications for the modern classroom.
