Transnational Media Histories
This cooperative project involves the Research Centre Media History at Universität Hamburg, the Centre for Media History at Macquarie University and the Center of Information and Communication Studies at Fudan University. It aims to establish close collaboration between Hamburg, Sydney and Shanghai in research and teaching in media history. It will facilitate frequent exchanges of senior and junior researchers, including postgraduates, to discuss and explore “transnational media histories”.
Thus, this project is linked to work on "entangled media histories”, drawing upon and contributing to histoire croisée, connected history, and Verflechtungsgeschichte in the field of media and communication studies.
By doing so, the new trilateral network will extend the research on media history beyond national boundaries and enable transnational research from a globally “entangled” perspective.
