[Commlist] Online PhD Course: transnational video-on-demand cultures

Online PhD Course: TRANSNATIONAL VIDEO-ON-DEMAND CULTURES 
(30.05.-01.06.2022) hosted by Aarhus University

We invite applications of Danish and international PhD students and 
early career researchers in the fields of media studies, communication 
and cultural studies to participate in our 3-day online PhD course on 
Transnational Video on Demand Cultures.
The growth and global expansion of video-on-demand platforms has 
fundamentally transformed the production, storytelling, distribution, 
reception and regulation of audiovisual content. This PhD course takes 
an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective on these 
transformations of the audiovisual industry, its products and audiences' 
engagement, asking how exactly we can research the changes that happened 
over the past decade.

The lectures, readings and group activities are led by renown 
international scholars.
- Prof. Susanne Eichner (Film University Babelsberg)
- Reader Janet McCabe (Birkbeck, University of London)
- Associate Prof. Tim Raats (VUB Brussels)
- Associate Prof. Vilde Schanke Sundet (Oslo University)
- Assistant Prof. Cathrin Bengesser (Aarhus University)
- Associate Prof. Pia Majbritt Jensen (Aarhus University)

This course addresses the theoretical, empirical and methodological 
challenges posed by transnational video-on-demand cultures. It covers 
the fields of
- Production studies, with a focus on commissioning and co-production 
practices of VoD platforms
- Audience studies, with a focus on innovative methods for studying 
young audiences
- Textual analysis, with a focus on genre, representation, diversity and 
(trans-)national culture
- Media economy, with a focus on local media industries' position in the 
global market
- Policy research, with a focus on European reactions to the dominance 
of US-based services

The course takes place on 30.05, 31.05 and 01.06. via Zoom (Central 
European Summer Time, approx. 10:00-17:00). Participation in the course 
is free of charge. Participants are expected to engage in ca. 35h of 
preparatory activities and documentation of the course, which will be 
rewarded with 3 ECTS.

The course is offered by the Graduate School of Aarhus University's Arts 
Faculty and runs as a collaboration between the Centre for Transnational 
Media Research (Aarhus University), the TV Working Group (Birkbeck, 
University of London) and the future Centre for Transnational Research 
(Filmuniversität Babelsberg).
