Virtual Disputes and Controversies: Forums and Tribunalization (D01)

• Subject Area: Theatre and Media Studies
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 470106373

The research project D01 builds on wide-ranging studies of dispute and controversy but focuses on the processes and operations between human and material actors as well as on the media conditions of virtual forums and their dynamics of tribunalization. In doing so, it refers to established praxeological as well as discourse-analytical approaches of media studies to examine dispute and controversy as inbuilt elements of virtual lifeworlds.
