Im Sommersemester 2025 widmen wir uns den gänzlich irrationalen Aspekten von Technik, also Emotionen und Affekten in der Herstellung und Anwendung von technischen Artefakten.

Die „mächtigen Gefühle“ (Ute Frevert) sind einerseits involviert in die Genese von Technik, sind mitentscheidend darüber, welche… 2024W/2025S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

This seminar explores the political dimensions of photography, examining how the medium operates as a space for civil encounter, a site of power, and a form of resistance. Photography, since its inception, shaped public perceptions of reality, mediated collective memory, and served as a battleground for ideological struggles whilst always resisting a total integration into the paradigm of the discourse… 2025S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

trans is booming: numerous publications and debates suggest an epistemological shift: in politics, theory and in the form of writing. Trans is also a prefix that frames numerous concepts: transculturality, transdisciplinarity, transnationality, transspecies, translation, transhumanism and many more (trans+). The Latin prefix trans stands for over, across, beyond, to the other side. It indicates movement. However, what underlies the prefix… 2024W, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS

The establishment of photography in the 19th century decisively transformed visual culture. A lively interaction between the disciplines of painting and sculpture and the new medium quickly emerged, and the study of architecture and the academic subject of art history have since relied heavily on photographic motifs. The “objective” technical image also opened up completely new perspectives for the sciences… 2025S, Vorlesungen, 2.0 ECTS

What is capitalism? A horrendous, universal nightmare, a crisis-ridden system of valorisation that structurally expands its own limits through their reproduction, and thus relentlessly encroaches on all processes, both human and non-human, an enemy to be identified? Marx does not understand capitalism as a unified whole, but rather through a series of tensions that have led to various implementations. But… 2025S, scientific seminar, 4.0 ECTS
