PhD Courses in Denmark

Dates and time: 13, 14 and 15 November 2024 from 8:45 to 17:00

The PhD course Cultural Analysis Now facilitates the development of participants’ research ideas by focusing specifically on possible analytical strategies in terms of the particular cultural objects under study. The course offers participants a platform to discuss central questions relating to their own doctoral research under the guidance of senior researchers in the field of cultural analysis. Each course day starts with a collective discussion of one major, highly innovative, and contemporary account of cultural analysis by a distinguished and internationally renowned cultural studies scholar. While the course is dedicated to the interdisciplinary analysis of culture at large, special emphasis is placed upon the analysis of cultural objects traditionally belonging to the aesthetic disciplines and cultural studies.

Academic Aim
 - To reflect upon and critically discuss contemporary accounts of cultural analysis by internationally renowned arts and cultural studies scholars.
 - To share, reflect on, and get/give feedback on one’s own and the other participants’ cultural-analytical approach/methodology.

Target group
PhD candidates from the Humanities, particularly from the aesthetic disciplines and cultural studies.
