Scaling. What happens when we scale things up or down?
Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018
The 2018 session will be devoted to the investigation of scale and scaling as operative concepts for the analysis of media. What happens when we scale? Does anything really change? Can scaling ever impact the inner blueprint of an object? Are there laws of scaling? Or does scaling resist any attempt at calculability, such that, to investigate it, we can only ever look at individual events of scaling? As a media practice, scaling is widely used. But, in contrast to the ubiquity of operations, scaling is hardly ever viewed on its own terms as a basic concept of media analysis. The Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018 will attempt to map out approaches to scaling as a basic media-analytical tool.

French-German interfaces in popular culture and the media
Intercultural mediation and the forms of perception of the other
Au-delà des médiatieurs individuels ou institutionnels « classiques », les mass média font eux aussi partie des vecteurs centraux de transfert interculturel de la culture et du savoir. Ces « instances médiatrices non intentionnelles » (Umlauf / Colin) seront au centre de l’intérêt du colloque. Du fait qu’elles focalisent et transmettent souvent des formes culturelles populaires, elles peuvent être considérées comme agissant dans la largeur du champ culturel. De ce fait, elles ouvrent également des contextes et des espaces nouveaux à des processus de médiation interculturelle. Ceux-ci en sont souvent exclus par la notion de culture parfois exclusive des instances de médiation intentionnelles, mais laissent néanmoins des traces profondes dans la mémoire collective.
