Research
We surround ourselves with smartphone and computer screens, cinema, advertising, and television screens, and virtual and augmented realities. Screen Cultures is an interdisciplinary research area in which we analyse and reflect on the manifold implications of screens in and for our daily lives.
Research topics
Research and teaching are closely coordinated and clustered around four main topics:
Studies
Our international Master’s programme, Screen Cultures, starts in the fall of 2019 and is presently open for applications. We are looking for motivated students with a keen interest in film, television, and digital media.
All courses are in the English language, spanning from the history of screens to their political implications, from technological aspects to the aesthetics on and of screens.
