The Institute of Theatre Studies in the Faculty of Philology is seeking to fill the position of an
Academic Councillor (Akademische/r Rätin/Rat) (m/f/d), A13, 100% (41 h per week)
for a period of three years. There is a possibility of extending the position for another three years.
The Institute of Theatre Studies in Bochum addresses the entire spectrum of scenic and performing arts: theatre, dance, musical theatre, performance, puppetry, audio drama, scenography, conceptual art, installation art, site-specific works of art and interactive art in the public space, as well as the manifold intersections between and dissolutions of boundaries amongst the different art forms. Theatre studies in Bochum has expanded upon the established areas of the field – the history, theory, aesthetics and analysis of performing arts – by enquiring into the situatedness and function of art in social, political and historical contexts. In order to carry out contemporary analysis of developments in art and society, investigating aesthetic forms (in the broadest sense of the term) is just as important as issues relating to the processes of economic and political control in cultural contexts. Based on our knowledge of the ongoing interdisciplinarity in the realm of performing arts since antiquity, we strive to develop theoretical structures and methodologies that consider the scenic and performing arts in their contextual relationships with media and society, making reference to ritualistic, religious, historical, psychoanalytical, political and philosophical factors.
