Annotation

The critical, historically informed and theory-driven examination of the complex exchange relationships between written and visual media, between analogue and digital technical media and between everyday, academic and artistic language and knowledge cultures from the early modern era to the present is at the centre of the Master’s degree programme. It thus opens up a dynamically evolving interdisciplinary field of knowledge with a wide range of opportunities for both research and later professional practice in today’s rapidly changing knowledge and media society.
