"Digital Memory Studies" deals with the mediality of structures derived from the past and of memory, the latter on both an individual as well as collective level. Thereby the focus is laid on digital technologies.
Research fields include media representation of the cultural heritage, transmedia strategies and the linkage of computer-assisted processes with cultural science methods within the field of Digital Humanities as well as connections between popular media cultures and processes of knowledge generation. Productive connections are particularly sought in combining scientific and participative approaches, different methods, media and spaces in order to contribute knowledge and gain insights.
