All academic disciplines are confronted with the new opportunities as well as challenges brought about by digital technologies and methodologies. Regarding research strategies, in this cross-sectional thematic area the Faculty focuses on establishing digital forms as subjects of research in cultural studies and in teacher education. It thus takes a meta-perspective which does not regard digital data as a simple alternative to analogous data, but aims to display their specific cultural logics, which also includes the consequences of the implementation of artificial intelligence. The key question concerns the impact of digital media on cultural processes viewed from a dual perspective: the question as to the specifics of (post-)digital culture and the specifics of (post-)digital cultural studies. The Faculty closely cooperates with the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW).
