Die Schulung führt in das technische Setup inkl. OSX, Webex, Mikrofoninierung und Präsentationsmodi für hybride Veranstaltungen (v.a. Ringvorlesungen, Tagungen) ein, die am Herrengarten (insb. in 217/218) oder US-C stattfinden. Für den Herrengarten liegt der Fokus zudem auf das noch bestehende Setup der Conference-Owl.
In Europa und darüber hinaus werden nur unzureichend politische Maßnahmen gegen die Klimakatastrophe, das massive Artensterben sowie die globale Vermüllung unternommen. In jüngster Zeit werden selbst solche Vereinbarungen und Maßnahmen noch aufgeweicht und untergraben. Diese Dynamik fällt mit dem Aufstieg rechter und rechtsextremer Kräfte zusammen, deren rassistische, antifeministische und LGBTIQ*-feindliche Politik auch verstärkt an der Delegitimierung und Diffamierung des Engagements für Klimagerechtigkeit arbeitet. Die Bedrohung einer pluralistischen Demokratie und unserer planetaren Lebensgrundlagen sind miteinander verschränkt. Beide werden durch Medienereignisse und -strategien katalysiert.
Vor dem Hintergrund dieser besorgniserregenden Entwicklungen wollen wir auch als (Medien-)Wissenschaftler:innen aktiv werden. Wir laden Klimaaktivist:innen, Wissenschaftler:innen und Journalist:innen und andere Interessierte zu einem gemeinsamen Wochenende ein, an dem wir uns dem kollaborativen Forschen und kollektiven Organisieren widmen. Ziel ist es Koalitionen zwischen Wissenschaft, Journalismus und Aktivismus zu bilden und nachhaltige Strategien der Zusammenarbeit zu entwickeln. In mehreren Workshops, widmen wir uns u.a. der Delegitimierung von Klimapolitik und –aktivismus, den Strategien von Klimaklagen sowie der Medienarbeit von Wissenschaftler:innen und Aktivist:innen.

Die Skalierungsleistung von Sensormedien steht im Zentrum der 3. Förderphase. Das Forschungsprogramm des SFB umfasst das gesamte Spektrum dieser Skalierungsleistung – von der Ebene des Körpers und der Mikrointeraktion bis hin zu verteilten Situationen von Sensordaten, transnationaler Überwachung und globalen Dateninfrastrukturen.
Die AG „Scales of Cooperation“ diskutiert das skalenübergreifende Kooperationsverständnis des SFB ausgehend von mikro-situativen Kooperationspraktiken bin zur Kooperation transnationaler Infrastrukturen mit ihren Daten und Datenpraktiken. Ziel der AG ist die Entwicklung einer Medientheorie dieser kooperativ verfassten Skalierungsleistung, die 2027 zu einer Abschlusstagung und -publikation des SFB führen soll.

Vorab: Telefonisches Einzelgespräch zum Bezug auf das je eigene Projekt und Absprache von Materialien.
Ziel dieser Meisterklasse ist es, das experimentelle Herangehen der Kamera-Ethnographie kennenzulernen, sowie ein arrangierendes Forschen (mit Bezug auf Wittgenstein) gemeinsam zu erproben, indem wir auf die Diversität der im Workshop vertretenen Forschungsfelder Bezug zu nehmen. Die Teilnehmenden möchten wir ermuntern, von ihren eigenen Forschungsmaterialien etwas in diese Werkstatt einzubringen.
Filmen als epistemische Praxis
In unserem alltäglichen Mediengebrauch nehmen wir an, mit einer Kamera einfach etwas einfangen und mit anderen teilen können. Wenn wir jedoch davon ausgehen, dass das Ziel von Forschung darin besteht, über den Stand des bisher Bekannten und Gesehenen hinauszukommen, dann haben wir es mit epistemischen Dingen zu tun, die zunächst noch nicht sichtbar sind und daher auch nicht einfach mit einer Kamera aufgenommen werden können. Mit dieser Überlegung nimmt Bina E. Mohn, die Begründerin der Kamera-Ethnographie, Bezug auf die wissenschaftssoziologischen Laborstudien der 1980er und 1990er Jahre. Von einer Prämisse des (noch) nicht Sichtbaren auszugehen, markiert die Abkehr von Strategien des Kameragebrauchs, die Sichtbarkeit immer schon voraussetzen. Die Kamera-Ethnographie bietet einen handhabbaren repräsentationskritischen Ansatz auf Grundlage einer situierten Methodologie und kann als ein kontinuierlicher reflexiver Prozess der Arbeit an Sichtbarkeit und Sehen verstanden werden. Kamera-ethnographisch lassen sich auch nonverbale Praktiken und soziomaterielle Konstellationen bestens untersuchen. Darüber hinaus eignet sich die Kamera-Ethnographie besonders für eine Adaption des Formats der „übersichtlichen Darstellung“ (Wittgenstein): Filmische Arrangements dienen in diesem Zusammenhang als Versuch, die Frage zu beantworten, wie soziale Praktiken hier und jetzt und dort und dann gelebt, benannt und verstanden werden können. Für Betrachtende kamera-ethnographischer Veröffentlichungen bietet sich damit die Chance, Unerwartetes über die Vielfalt und Möglichkeit sozialer Phänomene und Praktiken zu entdecken.
Das grundlegende Buch von Bina E. Mohn „Kamera-Ethnographie. Ethnographische Forschung im Modus des Zeigens. Programmatik und Praxis“ (verlinken: https://www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-3531-7/kamera-ethnographie/ ) ist im Jahr 2023 erschienen, open Access zugänglich und liegt dieser Meisterklasse zugrunde. Wichtige Referenzen des kamera-ethnographischen Ansatzes sind u.a. Bruno Latour (science-in-the-making), Karin Knorr-Cetina (epistemische Kulturen), Hans-Jörg Rheinberger (Experimentalsysteme), Clifford Geertz („thick description“), Ludwig Wittgenstein (Sprachspiele und „übersichtliche Darstellung“) und Karen Barad (agential realism und intra-action).

Christelle Gramaglia (Montpellier): Anthropology and/as Citizen Science III: Collaborative Sensing of Industrial Pollution in the Gulf of Fos (Marseille) – A Return to Common Sense?
All lectures take place in Cologne and also online.
This Lecture Series explores dynamics of sensing and sense making, and thus takes up a topic that is at the center of interdisciplinary work at the CRC “Media of Cooperation” (Siegen/Cologne). At the same time, it introduces the research of the CRC to researchers at the University of Cologne and various international working groups in and on the Mediterranean by using the well-established “60 Minutes” in Ethnography, Theory, Anthropology as a forum.
The increasing spread of sensor technologies and the equipping of smart devices with sensors restructures forms of perception, sensing and knowledge making. Sensors measure movements in the city, record air quality, temperatures and energy consumption, control production and logistics processes in interaction with algorithms and learning systems, track the behavior and well-being of people, recognize people in images and video recordings or re-organize (digital) terrains. Sensor data, their collection, analysis, and integration with other data formats, and their interaction with various forms of practice are constitutive not only of sensing, but also of sense making.
In this series of talks, we are interested in forms of sensing and sense making vis-à-vis major dynamics of socio-political and environmental crises in and beyond the Mediterranean, in particular (1) mobility and related border regimes, (2) growing environmental crises and their (non)management, and (3) forms of social mobilization (activism) and their control. All three areas are characterized by specific forms of socio-technical sensing and the engagement with it – sense making, both distributed among multiple actors, including humans, machines, and the environment itself. Sensor media are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and come with a number of ethical and political challenges – such as the erosion of privacy, new forms of surveillance, and socio-technical proliferation of prejudices and various forms of bias. Often they are perceived as both – as drivers of, but also as possible solutions for different forms of social, political, technical and environmental crises.
In this lecture series, Sensing and Sense Making will be explored praxeologically – and thus in its various forms and formats. Part I will investigate forms of sense making in the context of deadly borders regimes, in hazardous environments and as part of social activism. Part II will look at the challenges and opportunities of ethnographic research and public interventions to engage with situations of crises and collaborative knowledge production.

In my presentation based on recent theoretical work, I offer a navigational matrix for interface critique based on three orientations: identifying traps and enclosures, surfacing asymmetries and augmenting alternatives. Aiming to bridge a range of practices and conceptual contributions from HCI, media art, vernacular critique and practitioner-based design, this framework nevertheless is elaborated mainly in terms of experiments with the specific design-abilities of apps, social media platform infrastructures and the web.
This workshop invites participants to consider how this conceptual matrix, along with related work in the interdisciplinary field of interface critique, can be extended and refined through exploration of other forms of interface relation, including, for example, idioms of voice interfaces, capture of gestures, conversational design of chatbots, immersion of virtual and augmented reality consumer devices, and onto-epistemologies of environmental sensors, among others. What are the changing stakes for testing user-experience design as it proliferates into settings of urban design, healthcare, automobiles, money or the cognitive assemblages of machine-learning systems? How have forms of criticism and critique been elaborated in such contexts? What (extra)disciplinary forms of expertise are mobilized, and what kinds of collective critical knowledge, concepts and methods might be established in support of new common literacies, technologies and infrastructures?
Michael Dieter will be in Siegen
*As the workshop is an internal event, external guests please contact Dr. Johannes Schick by email for registration, indicating their academic title, full name, their institution, their official email address and the title of the event they wish to attend.
This talk will discuss how to understand the role of critique in relation to the increasing proliferation of interfaces across everyday life from apps to sensors. While theorizations of interface critique can be readily be found in HCI proposals such as reflexive design or humanistic HCI, or broadly within the interdisciplinary field of media art, these cases are not always considered within broader ecologies of practice or ‚critical technical cultures‘ from industry practitioners to vernacular subcultures that also grapple with the asymmetries and exploitative aspects of interaction design.
Drawing from software studies and media theoretical accounts of the interface as a techno-fluid milieu, I offer a navigational matrix to contextualize modes of interface critique at large, namely specifying traps and enclosures, surfacing asymmetries and augmenting alternatives. I argue that these orientations provide an invitation to develop new metacritical theories and common capacities, particularly through the possibilities of grappling with systems of domination otherwise built to prefigure our experiences of them.

Rites of passage which contain dying and death or dissolve what Freud has called “the ambivalence of feelings toward the dead”, have been investigated by anthropologists for ages. However, it is only quite recently that we pay attention to the long farewell in the Internet – although the first virtual tomb stone was already set in 1993. Research on digital mourning quite often has to deal with the virtuality of survival, with accounts and footprints left in the Social Networks which can hardly be cancelled (Sisto 2018). The entire space of the Social networks seems to abound from ghosts and spirits, similar to the one which is increasingly occupied by Artificial Intelligence: by Chatbots for instance which are equipped with memoirs, argumentation strategies and even the voice of the person who in lifetime has decided to talk to us from beyond the grave (Mason-Robbie & Savin Baden 2020). It is at this very point that the questions of “virtual death” and of the Posthuman intersect (Stokes 2021).
The intention of our workshop in Siegen is thus twofold: we want to know which are contemporary forms of mourning, how digital techniques (smartphone photography e.g.) change the way we see death, how the ‘Farewell’ and its ‘rite de passage’ in the www are organized, by which medias and devices, how the respective media artefacts do enter the virtual space, what is their effect in the offline-world, and which are the social groups one could consider as the avantgarde of “virtual mourning”?
Furthermore, we would like to go on asking what follows from these practices for the conception of the human itself. The extensions of the Self in space and time, its multiple ways to instantiate itself and the possibility of merging with (virtual) others could also open up spaces to re-think the divide made between Westerners and ‘indigenous’ people and could invite us to reconceptualize ideas of personhood ascribed to the cultural other in the past (analogous to Marcel Mauss’ classical reconstruction of “personhood”, 1938).
The first section of the workshop shall be dedicated to projects in the realm of (secular) mourning and grieving, to practices of digital commemoration, the circulation of images etc. The second part should deal with the digital practices of Farewell, with funeral rituals and the Internet, or with digital heritage. The third section will rather raise treat conceptual questions as mentioned above.

ORGANISATORISCHE HINWEISE
Wir bitten um Anmeldung zur Tagung bis zum 20. November 2023 an Philipp Meinert (philipp.meinert[æt]student.uni-siegen.de).
Im Rahmen des Forschungsforums des SFB 1187 Medien der Kooperation stellen wir am 29. November die aktuelle ZfM 29 „Test“ vor. Zu Gast sind Beiträger*innen des Themenschwerpunkts: Oliver Heise, David Bucheli, Gabriele Schabacher, Sophie Spallinger, Daniela Holzer und Philippe Sormani. Die Herausgeber*innen Sebastian Gießmann und Carolin Gerlitz führen in das Schwerpunktthema ein, bevor einzelne Beiträge und deren Entstehungsprozess thematisiert und von den Autor*innen vorgestellt werden. Wir laden alle Interessierten zu einem regen Austausch über mediale Testpraktiken, -gewohnheiten und -geschichten ein, auch und gerade unter den Bedingungen Künstlicher Intelligenz.
„Das vorliegende Heft der Zeitschrift für Medienwissenschaft fragt, wie sich Medien und Tests wechselseitig konstituieren. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren dabei Politiken des Testens. Wir schlagen vor, Tests als offene Situationen zu verstehen, in denen mit teils etablierten, teils sich erst während des Testens etablierenden Maßstäben soziotechnische Bewertungen erfolgen und Entscheidungen getroffen werden. Für einen medienkulturwissenschaftlichen Begriff des Tests gilt: In den Mikroentscheidungen des verteilten und verteilenden Testens steht das Soziale selbst auf der Probe. Die in diesem Heft versammelten Beiträge verdeutlichen: kein Test ohne Medien – kein Medium ohne Test.“
