Sammeln (Entsammeln)

Edith Futscher

Ob Ramsch oder Preziosen: Was tun wir, wenn wir sammeln? Ist die Tätigkeit, Dinge dem ökonomischen Kreislauf zu entziehen, ästhetisch, sozial oder wissensstrategisch motiviert? – Es kann exklusiver Geschmack anschaulich gemacht, soziale Zugehörigkeit hinausposaunt werden, im Vermehren einer vielleicht eleganten Kapitalsorte kann ein Weltverständnis untermauert und propagiert werden – und vieles mehr. Jedenfalls wurde und wird in Hinblick auf Abrundung… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Sammeln, Ordnen und Benennen

Shakespeare in love with the camera

Singularity. Die Auflösung der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft und die neuen Kriege

Jan Völker

In this seminar, we want to explore two developments that, at first glance, seem incompatible: On the one hand, our societies are becoming increasingly intertwined; symbolic differences are disappearing, spheres are blending, and boundaries are being dissolved. We work in our free time, the private sphere is considered political, and life is becoming art. On the other hand, new wars… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Sprachmaschinen und Wissensproduktion: Künstliche Intelligenz als Kulturtechnik

In this seminar, we will explore these questions together from perspectives in media studies, cultural studies, and literary studies. Drawing on both classic and contemporary texts, we… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Textilbasierte Kunst 1900-1940

Lilien Lisbeth Feledy

Angeregt durch die Arts-and-Crafts-Bewegung rückte das Medium Textil zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zunehmend in den Fokus künstlerischer Praxis und theoretischer Reflexion. Dieses Interesse manifestierte sich in einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit textilen Produktionstechniken wie der Weberei oder der Stickerei und ging mit dem systematischen Sammeln textiler Muster einher, wie es sich etwa auch in Wien anhand der Textilsammlung von Rosalia… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS

Theorien zeitbasierter Systeme

Wolfgang Fiel

This seminar explores artistic practice not as the production of static objects but as the unfolding of dynamic, time-based processes.

Drawing… 2026W/2027S, Lecture with Practical Exercises, 1.0 ECTS

Was heisst Krieg?

Antonia Birnbaum

The present day is characterised by a proliferation of wars. This reveals that, in our world without an ‘inside’ or an ‘outside’, the supposed ‘commerce between nations’ has cast off its mask in favour of a new entanglement of aggressive sovereignty with global commodification. The two ‘will to power’ – the state and the economy – are knotted in a… 2026W, Academic Seminar, 4.0 ECTS
