About the Program

The 'Kultur & Identität' (Culture & Identity) module explores how belonging, representation, and public identity emerge in modern societies and the role media plays in these processes. It combines cultural studies perspectives with practical design tasks. Students analyze digital environments (feeds, profiles, memes), traditional cultural practices, and mechanisms that create visibility. Key learning objectives include developing the ability to analytically describe cultural phenomena: How do media structure social spaces? Which role models are repeated or marginalized? How do algorithms, platform design, and production practices affect visibility and invisibility? The work includes observation & field research (feed analysis, interviews, micro-ethnography), image and discourse analysis (semiotics, discourse analysis, visual methods), contextualization (historical and sociocultural embedding of media phenomena), and practical reflection (translating analysis results into design or communication decisions). Typical assignments include creating visual case studies of community phenomena, projects on representation in social media with prototyping of counter-strategies, or visual essays tracing the historical and media development of youth cultures. The expected learning outcome is for students to analyze media identity processes, critically evaluate them, and respond through design or curatorial strategies while developing sensitized perspectives on diversity, power, and visibility.
