InhalteIn this three-week summer school, a global pop icon will serve as the common starting point for cultural analysis and for the transdisciplinary production of new artistic and journalistic works seeking to deconstruct, remix and expand the influence of the chosen icon. Participants from Europe and Asia will collaborate through using various methods of research (ethnographic field research, pop culture theory, reception theory, discourse analysis) and through co-creation in various formats. Students are offered a unique opportunity to experience new creative fields in transcultural collaborations and to learn about cultural concepts in global contexts, global mainstream and transcultural adaptation. In tandem with the Shared Campus- Global Pop Cultures-Festival “Out in the Loop”, participants will conduct practice- based research on this year’s theme “The Natures of Pop”. Collaboration will result in a final presentation at the festival in multiple artistic formats (e.g. fiction and documentary film, interactive media, performances, creative nonfiction, short stories, comics, podcasts, discourse analysis, spatial installations, art in public space, songs, music videos, etc.)
