Description:
The Leuphana University of Lüneburg offers a postdoctoral position within the transdisciplinary research project "Television 2.0 - Exploring user-generated moving images and audio-visual participation". The project is part of the large-scale EU-project "Innovation Incubator Lüneburg". Under the direction of Professor Michael Ballhaus and Dr. Timon Beyes, and in conjunction with the "Institute of the Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media (ICAM)", the project aims to develop and explore new processes of collaboration, production and distribution for video content on the Internet.
The project's research focus lies in the forms of organization, interaction and collaboration enacted in the context of the „participatory turn" related to the possibilities of Web 2.0, especially with regard to user-generated moving images. Potential research topics include the emergence of new public and political spaces, the processes of community building and the creation of innovative business models („culturepreneurship"). Besides contributing to the development of social-, cultural- and media-theoretic concepts, a focus also lies on qualitative research methods, which includes the use of audio-visual materials and visual methods.
