Daniel Winkler completed extended research stays in Marseille and Turin and wrote his PhD thesis on Marseille as a cinematic city and his Postdoctoral project on Italian tragedy in the Age of Enlightenment,
The focus of Daniel Winkler's working group is on the question of the societal role and relevance of literature and media with an emphasis on Italy and France, the Mediterranean region, the Alps and Canada. In terms of Romance Media Cultural Studies, this means not only a theoretical and cultural-historical contextualisation of representations, but also their concrete formal-aesthetic, affect-poetic and media-specific analysis. This implies a critically distanced reflection of one’s own approaches, personal positions and ideological contemporary trends in identity politics, into which students shall gain their own insight,
At the same time, in the sense of the societal mission of foreign language philologies as teaching subjects, this area of research strives to dovetail teaching with cultural, educational and academic practice, as well as to critically bring it into perspective against the backdrop of the increasing political functionalisation and economisation of these areas.
