Past and current lectures and seminars

School of (Un)thought: Tools and technologies of study (SoSe 2024)

Following the concept of "critical pedagogy" formulated by bell hooks (1994, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom, New York: Routledge), in this seminar we offer to dedicate ourselves to the university as a place where people critically and collectively think, research and produce knowledge.

Research Studio: Extractive Pasts, Sustainable Futures?

March 11 - 18, 2024: The Chair for Digital Cultures, the Chair of Micro-Sociology and Techno-Social Interaction, and the Department for Speculative Transformation organize an interdisciplinary research studio on energy transition in Dresden and Lusatia for early-career researchers and practitioners interested in post-mining landscapes and the development of renewable energy infrastructures. The program is aimed at fostering exchange between social sciences, humanities, architecture, engineering, art, and design.

Intro to Digital Cultures (WT 23/24)

Today we live in a world that is fully visual and sensory: inundated by images, sounds, and interactive experiences and saturated by digital media that shapes minds, bodies and our daily habits. From geo-politics to the Coronavirus Pandemic, to Artificial Intelligence, digital media is transforming society. This course is an introductory survey into how digital technologies and cultures are impacted and shaped by society and history.

2023|1973 Age of Radical Uncertainty (Summer Term 2023)

In this seminar we ask if history just repeats itself or if in fact we never arrived in the future. Full speed ahead we’ll travel back to 1973. At the height of the environmental movement and counterculture, amidst cold war politics, the vietnam war and oil crisis; at the dawn of the information age and the end of the industrial age, this year is emblematic of the politics that profit from the condition that Alvin Toffler called future shock: “the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.”

The seminars of the Chair for Digital Cultures are open to students in the consecutive Master's program "Literature and Culture in Social Change" (LiKWa), "Digital Humanities" (DM), and the Bachelor program "English and American Studies".
