Online Lecture Series: Manga, Film und Instagram – Klöster und Klerus in medialer Vielfalt
For most people in the 21st century, nuns, monks and monasteries are phenomena that they know not from their own experience, but primarily through media presentation.
After the first part of the lecture series "Monasteries in Modern Media" was held last semester under the title "Of beer-brewing monks and warlike nuns. Monasteries and Clergy in Analogue and Digital Games", the focus will now be expanded. In this way, the impressive media diversity in which monasteries and clergy are present in modern day will be addressed. In addition to Japanese manga and social media such as Instagram or Twitter, a special focus will be on the presence of monastic life in film. It will be shown that these various forms of representation of nuns, monks and monasteries are not only an important part of modern (church) historical cultures, but also convey values, norms and ideas of their respective contexts of origin.
The events take place online via Zoom on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. (exception: on 13.12.2023 the event already starts at 3 p.m.).
