Master – Analysis of Cultural Practices
Basic Information
Duration: 2 years
The "Analysis of Cultural Practices: Stage and Media Cultures in Transnational Space" Master is an integrated Franco-German course at the Franco-German University (UFA).
This trinational course starts in Düsseldorf, continues in Vienna, then in Nantes and ends with a compulsory 4/6 month internship.
- At the University of Düsseldorf, the relationship between sensory experience and language, the cultural and media influence on affects, the transculturality intrinsic to any cultural process are at the heart of the curriculum.
- In Vienna, students focus on questions of subjectivity, their cultural alterations and idiosyncrasies as well as transnational processes in the performing arts.
- Nantes places the techniques and epistemology of translation, cultural transfer and the sociology of culture (film / theater / performance) at the centre of its offer.
From the first to the third semester, the participants of the course form a "cohort" of 5 to 10 students from each partner university. In the fourth semester, the course participants write their research thesis, preferably at their home university. Every two years, they organize a study day (location of their choice) and participate in a research workshop organized by one of the partner institutions.
