Description of the research programme of the research group 

This project is devoted to the organization of a monthly seminar exploring the philosophical and film- and media theoretical dimensions of contemporary audio-visual culture, both in artistic and popular forms of expression. Close readings of primary texts, and in depth analyses of media objects, introduced by a member of the seminar or by a (international) guest speaker will provide the basis of our discussions and reflections.
