Interdisziplinäre Tagung am Zentrum für Kulturwissenschaften und am Institut für Germanistik

Mit einem Vortrag des Philosophen und Bildtheoretikers Prof. Dr. Lambert Wiesing von der Universität Jena wurde am 6. November 2013 an der Uni Graz die interdisziplinäre Tagung „Wahrnehmen – Erkennen – Medialität: Die Episteme der Sinne“ eröffnet. Im Mittelpunkt der dreitägigen Veranstaltung stehen Vorträge und Diskussionen, die sich mit der Frage nach der Erkenntnisleistung der Sinne und der sinnlichen Erkenntnis der Kunst beschäftigen.

Das von Assoz. Prof. Dr. Hildegard Kernmayer vom Zentrum für Kulturwissenschaften und Priv.-Doz. Dr. Robert Vellusig vom Institut für Germanistik konzipierte und organisierte Symposium soll die Erkenntnisse, die in den verschiedenen Wissenskulturen über das Phänomen der Wahrnehmung gewonnen wurden, vernetzen.

Vizerektor Martin Polaschek unterstrich bei der Eröffnung der Veranstaltung die Bedeutung der interdisziplinären Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema, das auch im Hinblick auf die Rechtswissenschaften besonders spannend sei, so der Jurist. „In der Justiz geht es darum, Wahrnehmung in Regeln zu pressen und aufgrund von Wahrgenommenem gerechte Entscheidungen zu treffen.“

„Die Sinne erschließen uns die Welt, aber sie sind in ihrer Erkenntnisfähigkeit an ein schmales Spektrum der Wirklichkeit angepasst“, beschreiben Kernmayer und Vellusig das Problem der Wahrnehmung. "Das mikro- und makrokosmisch Dimensionierte wird nur mit Hilfe technischer Medien anschaulich oder lässt sich überhaupt nur mathematisch fassen."

Mittelfristiges Ziel, so die WissenschafterInnen, sei der Aufbau einer interdisziplinären Wahrnehmungsforschung, die Ergebnisse und Einsichten, die in den empirisch-experimentell, philosophisch-begriffsgeschichtlich, kunst-, literatur- und medientheoretisch verfahrenden Disziplinen und in der Kunst über das Phänomen der Wahrnehmung gewonnen werden, dialogisiert.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.

Well prepared: start your studies with the Welcome Weeks

Three newly designed degree programmes in art history offer contemporary perspectives on artistic production – from the Old Masters to AI art. First-year students in particular can immerse themselves in university life and gather all the essential information even before the semester begins: during the Welcome Weeks starting on 1 September.
