🎓Theorie-Ästhetik. Formen und Format reflexiver Kommunikation von Wissenschaft.

Doctoral project at a glance

As part of her research work at the Rhine Ruhr Centre for Science Communication Research (RRC), ALEKSANDRA VUJADINOVIC examines what the humanities and social sciences understand by the term ‘theory’. To this end, she investigates concepts, ideas and materialities that revolve around this discourse and which continue to shape the corresponding research and publication culture to this day. Drawing on selected contemporary examples and discourses, she asks how theory is given form and takes shape: as a paperback in the publication series of academic and general-interest publishers? As a theory podcast? As a theory blog? As a theory meme? The aim of this work is to illustrate the role of aesthetics in the process of communicating theory.
