莱顿大学社会艺术中心(LUCAS)是一个多学科学术社区的所在地,有助于深入分析和欣赏过去和现在的文化产品(文本,物体,实践)的力量和动态。通过高质量的研究,教育和价值评估,该研究所有助于更广泛地了解人类生活的文化,艺术,认知,历史和社会方面。
自1575年成立以来,人文主义者对语言、文学、艺术和文化的兴趣一直是莱顿大学的核心关注点;该中心以这一传统为基础。几个世纪以来,这已经转变为对世界每个地区的文化研究。虽然LUCAS成员有助于更深入地了解欧洲文化,但多元化的学者社区超越了以欧洲为中心的观点和话语。
LUCAS是艺术和文化研究跨学科研究领域的杰出参与者。该研究所的研究集群探索和分析广泛考虑的艺术与社会之间的复杂关系。研究人员强调合作和价值,与当地和国际机构和合作伙伴合作,并在学术和公共社区保持高调。
LUCAS是世界上为数不多的研究机构之一,文学,艺术,建筑和媒体领域的专家共同研究从古典古代到今天的数千年文化生产。将多样化的研究集群联系在一起的是所有人理解文化产品(文本、物品、实践)及其社会和历史背景之间的共同努力。重要的是,虽然研究议程有一个单一的计划伞(艺术与社会之间的互动),但它鼓励在三个集群内和之间对这一核心主题进行丰富多样的探索,并有自己的研究议程、方法、理论和对象。
The Centre for Social Arts (LUCAS) at Leiden University is home to a multidisciplinary academic community that contributes to an in-depth analysis and appreciation of the power and dynamics of past and present cultural products (texts, objects, practices). Through high-quality research, education, and value assessment, the Institute contributes to a broader understanding of the cultural, artistic, cognitive, historical, and social aspects of human life.
Since its foundation in 1575, humanists' interest in language, literature, art and culture has been a central concern of Leiden University; The Centre builds on this tradition. Over the centuries, this has translated into the study of cultures in every region of the world. While LUCAS members contribute to a deeper understanding of European culture, the diverse community of scholars goes beyond Eurocentric perspectives and discourses.
LUCAS is a distinguished participant in the interdisciplinary field of research in arts and cultural studies. The Institute's research clusters explore and analyze the complex relationship between art and society that is widely considered. Researchers emphasize collaboration and value, collaborate with local and international institutions and partners, and maintain a high profile in the academic and public community.
LUCAS is one of the few research institutions in the world where experts in the fields of literature, art, architecture and media come together to study thousands of years of cultural production from classical antiquity to the present day. What binds diverse research clusters together is a joint effort between all people understanding cultural goods (texts, objects, practices) and their social and historical contexts. Importantly, while the research agenda has a single programmatic umbrella (the interaction between art and society), it encourages a rich and diverse exploration of this core theme within and between the three clusters, with its own research agenda, methods, theories and objects.
