Course content and focus areas |
The research-oriented Master’s degree programme Theatre, Film and Media Studies deals with presentation formats in the area of theatre, film and the media. Its objects are their aesthetic phenomena, theory, history, social and institutional prerequisites, technical conditions and modes of action. It integrates philosophical, art and cultural theory, historical, sociological and cultural economic questions in the subject-specific discussion. The programme of study pursues a critical-theoretical confrontation with artistic and media phenomena and is characterised by a decidedly international orientation. The central point of the study programme is education to develop the ability to undertake independent problem-oriented reflection about current presentation formats in the area of theatre, film and the media. This capability is developed in an archeological and genealogical perspective and requires knowledge of the history, structure and systematics of the current forms of theatre, the performance, the dance, the film as an artistic and scientific-technical practice as well as technical and digital media. The study programme provides a humanities and theoretical and not a practical art education and sharpens the sensitivity for artistic procedures and strategies. In contrast to practical art education programmes the Master’s degree programme qualifies one for a wide spectrum of activities and not just for certain narrow occupational fields. It imparts competences which enable one to take on demanding positions in the areas theatre, film, media, providing cultural knowledge as well as organisation and lays the foundation for scientific further qualifications as part of a doctoral studies programme. |
