On 3rd of November I will take part in the Lunchtalk series of the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Salzburg, together with my colleague Maren Schuster (MLU Halle-Wittenberg). The series runs almost weekly through each semester, every session given over to a single theme.

Our session on ACCESS/EXCESS: Working on (Media) Agency asks, through two media productions, how authors meet the tension between access and excess in dramaturgical terms — and how agency is distributed between those who produce a work, those who take part in it, and those who watch. I will present the short film Protokolliert, benutzt, vergessen (2026) by Carolin Körber and Lea Büttner, on the systematic forced prostitution in the camp brothel at Buchenwald.

The talk takes place on 3 November 2026, 12:00–13:00 at HS 209
