##Researching BWPWAP
International Research Conference and PhD Workshop
Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany
22-24 November 2012 - Centre for Digital Cultures, Lüneburg
Organised by:
Digital Aesthetics/Participatory IT Research Centre, Aarhus University
Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University of Lüneburg
reSource transmedial culture berlin/transmediale festival
##Concept
The international research conference and PhD workshop takes next
transmediale’s thematic framework as a broad starting point, and is a
chance for researchers to share ideas and development processes across
and beyond the time/space of academic research paradigms. The challenge
is to salvage what there is to be salvaged from network culture and
digital media for research, and vice versa.
The conference and workshop, which precedes transmediale, asks how
BWPWAP can be interpreted in the context of research culture that has
been significantly destabilised by network culture and digital media. If
Pluto didn't exactly fall prey to an epistemological break or a
scientific revolution, but rather to a mundane administrative procedure
– a redefinition of what constitutes a planet and the invention of the
category "dwarf planet" – then what does this say about contemporary
research culture? Is research today occupied more with mundane acts of
recategorisation, and – after Bologna – with what Lyotard already called
performativity? Or does it still engage the kind of marvel and wonder
that so many ascribe to Pluto and that BWPWAP captures as a cultural
term? If BWPWAP captures a time when transmedial culture was researched
outside academia, how does network culture and digital media then
contribute to and transform research culture, forcing it out of its
closet and, if not into the solar system, then at least beyond the academy?
Around 20 international PhD students have been selected after submitting
their research abstracts via a public call. Students and researchers
will meet at the Luphana University to present their activities and
reflect on further networked research practices, which will culminate
into the publication of a P2P reviewed newspaper presented in the
framework of transmediale 2013.
The event follows on from similar events organised in 2012 and 2011 at
Universität der Künste (Berlin), and Aarhus University, respectively.
