Campus Medius: Digitales Kartografieren in den Kulturund Medienwissenschaften/Digital Mapping in Cultural and Media Studies by Simon Ganahl

The digital mapping project 'Campus Medius' offers a novel approach to understanding the relational patterns of space, time, and value through innovative hypertext and visual strategies. By focusing on a 24-hour period in Vienna during the Austrofascist regime's 'Turks Deliverance Celebration' in May 1933, the project uses digital cartography to reflect upon the 'medial atmosphere' and narrativity of this historical moment. It integrates theoretical frameworks such as Mikhail Bakhtin's 'chronotope,' Foucault-Deleuze's 'dispositif,' and Bruno Latour's Actor-Network Theory to analyze networks of power and knowledge, providing a media-archaeological perspective from the 17th century to the present. The project exemplifies how digital tools can be used to trace and interpret complex historical data, offering significant insights into the intersection of theory and technical implementation in cultural and media studies.
