by Simon Ganahl
DOI: https://doi.org/10.14361/9783839456019

Abstract: Campus Medius (campusmedius.net) explores and expands the 
possibilities of digital cartography in cultural and media studies. 
Simon Ganahl documents the development of the project from a historical 
case study to a mapping platform. Based on the question of what a media 
experience is, the concepts of the apparatus (dispositif) and the 
actor-network are translated into a data model. A time-space of 
twenty-four hours in Vienna in May 1933, marked by a so-called "Turks 
Deliverance Celebration" (Türkenbefreiungsfeier), serves as an empirical 
laboratory. This Austrofascist rally is mapped from multiple 
perspectives and woven into media-historical networks, spanning from the 
seventeenth century up to the present day.

The ebook is already available open access, the print version will 
appear in May. On June 8, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. (UTC+2), there will be 
a (German) book presentation with livestream at the University of 
Vienna: https://bibliothek.univie.ac.at/events/014759.html
