Saskia Jaszoltowski
As an interdisciplinary musicologist, she deals with current and historical issues relating to music and media culture. She devotes particular attention to researching film music, which extends to the areas of intermediality and so-called screen-media musicology. She attaches great importance to a historical foundation and the consideration of socio-cultural, political and economic contexts. In her habilitation thesis, for example, she examined cultures of memory using examples from the 18th century to the present day(Erinnerungsorte in der Musik, Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter 2022: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110767483).
In her current research, she explores the discourses of posthumanism and discusses contemporary phenomena of musical culture against this background.
