[Oliver Grau]

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”.
