Project description

The goal of this project is to analyse how, in today’s highly digitized and networked (post-)covid mediascape, key stakeholders in arts and science are revisiting their traditional ways of mediating their content and are adopting virtual platforms and novel audiovisual media formats. Drawing on linguistic ethnography, I set out to 1. Document novel ways of mediating arts and science and examine shifting underlying conceptualizations of the two, 2. Unravel the potentially complex discursive processes of negotiating boundaries between arts and science and of managing artists’ and scholars’ fluid identities as these new mediation formats take shape and 3. Analyse new practices of participation, collaboration and engagement as they emerge on the borderline between arts and science.
