In the summer semester 2025, the lecture series "Elementary Ontologies and Media between Politicisation and Depoliticisation" will take place at the Institute of Media Studies. On Tuesday, 24 June, J.-Prof. Dr. Maria Muhle from the Academy of Fine Arts Munich will give the lecture "Mechaniker-Theorie der Kunst" - Technoästhetische Milieus im Ausgang von Canguilhem und Simondon". The event will take place from 6 to 8 pm in room E2.339.
The event will address debates that question the proclamation of the Anthropocene as the geological age of mankind and thematise a shift towards the "natural", material and elementary that can be observed in this context. These approaches, which have been increasingly received in media studies in recent years, will be scrutinised in the lecture series for their potential, but also their problems. The event is organised by Dr. Sebastian Althoff, Birte de Gruisbourne, Prof. Dr. Tobias Matzner, Patrick Henschen and Dr. Christian Schulz.
