Inhalte:
The (media) technologies that encircle us today in planetwide layers do not only have a wide-ranging history, they are also characterized by transformative potentials. In the seminar we will turn to historical, as well as to theoretical and practical appropriations of (media) technologies, with a special focus on their current hybridisation, respectively their structural embedding in our daily routines. By using examples, such as the (magical) history of cinema, the emergence of the comic genre respectively of image animation, the history of cybernetics and AI research up to the so-called Internet of Things and latest developments of human-machine interfaces, the students will be guided to develop a cultural science perspective on technology developments. They will be trained to contextualize those technology developments in a wider historico-cultural framework.
The seminar "Introduction to issues in cultural studies" so aims to address both - historical reference systems and relevant systematic approaches to currently virulent technocultural phenomena.
Lernziele:
The seminar is an introduction to cultural research, reading and writing.
