Forschungsgebiete

Meine Auseinandersetzung in Forschung und Lehre verortet sich am Schnittpunkt von Medienwissenschaft, Organisationsforschung und Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung. Ich möchte für soziotechnische Gemengelagen sensibilisieren, die sich aus der Verflechtung von Medien, Technologien, Institutionen, Normen und Diskursen ergeben. Zusätzlich zu einer konzeptuellen oder historischen Betrachtung orientiere ich mich am reflexiven Empirieverständnis, wie es u. a. die Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung geprägt hat.

The class brings together students from the MA "Media and Digital Cultures" and the MA "Culture and Organization" and is focused on the organizational powers of media technologies. ‘Media organize’, as the architectural theorist Reinhold Martin put it, and this is particularly true for digital media, according to the media theorist John Durham Peters. The class thus focuses on the way media organize, i.e. on their organizational capacities, on the kinds of organizational forms and processes associated with particular media technologies, as well as on the way these media technologies themselves are organized.

The course is broadly split into three parts: in a first part the class explores histories of media technologies of organization; in a second part students embark on a group exercise in which they research particular media technologies and their associated organizational forms and processes; and in a third part the class explores current instantiations of media technologies of organization in writing about them.

This course is dedicated to primary research methods for studying the arts and their organization. It gives an introduction to crafting your own research projects, a capacity that will be needed for future term papers, but especially when it comes to writing your bachelor thesis. Beyond that, developing an understanding for research methods is essential for dealing with the research literature you will be confronted with throughout your studies.

This course increases awareness for the basic operation of identifying a research question while at the same time reflecting on the information needed to answer the question and the availability of this information. What kind of procedures or techniques do I know of and are doable for me to gather the information? How do I have to adapt a certain method to make it work in a certain context?

We will focus on three methods: the qualitative interview, participant observation and its digital variant that I will call, following Rosenblat’s study on Uber, digital muckraking. There will be a general introduction to each approach as well as exemplary studies. This will be followed by a micro-exercise for each method to be worked on immediately and handed in prior to the next session.
