Stefan Schweigler (Vienna University)

The webinar will explore the cultural-theoretical, philosophical, aesthetic, historical and political dimensions of intergenerationality—a timely topic at the intersection of media studies, ageing, and communication research.

Stefan Schweigler's interdisciplinary work spans media studies, affect theory, ageing care, gender, queer, disability, and postcolonial studies, offering perspectives from across the arts and humanities on how different generations relate, communicate, and are represented in contemporary media and culture.

In this talk, Stefan Schweigler discusses the 2016 short documentary Papa Weifeng and its relational integration into Chinese media activism.

Organized by the STORYline project (Universidade Lusófona), the webinar is supported, among others, by the  ECREA's Children, Youth and Media section and Temporary Working Group on Aging & Communication.
