Bildwissenschaft & Visual Culture IKK-Lecture Series 2013-14 HUM-Campus, Copenhagen
The Department of Art and Cultural Studies (IKK) of the University of Copenhagen provides an important framework for international research and high education within the areas of Art History and Visual Culture, Theatre Studies, Dance Studies, Modern Culture, Literature and Musicology. These curricula build an accumulation of core competences, the most of which are tightly linked to the concepts and practices of the Image, Visiblity and Visuality in their widest sense. In 2013 and 2014, the Department of Art and Cultural Studies organizes a lecture series 'Bildwissenschaft & Visual Culture' as a starting point of the newly established Strategic Partnership in Arts and Culture between the Goethe-Institut Dänemark and the Department for Art and Cultural Studies (IKK). Today´s German-language visual studies or Bildwissenschaft on one hand and the Anglo-Saxon Visual Culture on the other are standing before the substantial challenges after their ca. 2 decades-long history. In particular the creation of a new academic environment has remained an important desideratum of the ambitiously formulated programs to provide an optimal methodological model for the study of images of all kinds. The lecture series has therefore set a goal to deepen an interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue between the two cultures of image-oriented studies by presenting the paradigmatic positions and discussing the current thinking focused on Images, Visiblity and Visuality. The lecture series begins with a lecture of Oliver Grau: “Strengthen the Humanities. MediaArtHistories, Image Science & the Archive 2.0”.
