CANCELED! Planetary Power: The Geopolitical Imaginary (Kolloquium)

Inhalt: This seminar explores the entanglements of digital technologies and geopolitical thought from a historical and critical media studies perspective. It traces how power over space and people is exercised through media infrastructures, visualization techniques, and knowledge formations— i.e. maps and globes as tools of territorial and colonial governance; satellites and drones as instruments of surveillance and control; climate models as a form of governmental control; the sovereignty of digital stacks and algorithms as new spatial regimes. The seminar is both designed to give theoretical input for the analysis of the emergence of a planetary perspective and its media while helping attendants to develop a research project, that can be developed into a bachelor thesis, but can be scientific or artistic in nature (i.e. essayfilm, photographic or literary project). Please be prepared to pitch a research idea in the lightning round in the first session, ideally bring some material to look at (but if you are out of ideas you can research and present an item from the "Whole Earth Catalogue", which we will discuss beforehand ). Each session combines: (a) theoretical input and discussion (b) student research presentations (developing: early ideas in lightning talks (5 min) → literature presentation (10 min) → preliminary outline (15 min).
