We would like to draw your attention to the following Call for Applications for the summer school Viadrinicum, organized by the European University Viadrina.
Transsectoral DigitalLab: (Dis-)Assembling the (Post-)Digital Social.
Frankfurt (Oder)/Online, 16 – 29 August 2021
Viadrinicum is an annual summer school devoted to the countries of the Eastern Partnership, and the larger context of Central and Eastern Europe. This year’s edition is designed as a transsectoral DigitalLab, aiming to explore social and political dimensions of digital transformation from multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives. With the help of academic seminars, the school will allow its participants to critically engage with the notions of the digital self and the (post-)digital social, datafication and algorithmisation of life, as well as digital infrastructures and smart technologies.
Parallel to that, the school also features three Lab.Workshops (Art.Lab, Doc.Lab, Research.Lab), where the participants will be able to enhance practical and methodological skills, by means of developing their own small (team) projects under the close guidance of facilitators from the respective fields. The results will be presented in a public exhibition in cooperation with the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art (BLMK).
Besides that, there will be round tables with researchers from the Center for East European and International Studies (ZOiS, Berlin), artistic contributions, an online film screening and an Open Space session, where participants will have a chance to discuss their own scientific or cultural projects with others.
Depending on the epidemiological situation, the school will take place in a hybrid format or entirely online.
Deadline: 31 May 2021.
