Weimar-Princeton Summer School "Problems of Media Anthropology", Weimar, Germany

In 2017, the Weimar-Princeton Summer School, a joint project of the Bauhaus University in Weimar and Princeton University, will open for the seventh time. The seventh summer school is dedicated to the relationship between human nature and the media. Particular attention will be paid to the issues of coexistence and co-development of human nature and the media, since without realizing this connection it is impossible to study humanity and media as separate objects.

The Summer School lasts a week and opens on June 10, 2017 in Weimar, Germany.

Applications for the Summer School are accepted from outstanding doctoral students with degrees in media or related fields such as film studies, philology, philosophy, art history, architecture, sociology, politics, historyscience and cultural studies.
