1. Two PhD fellowships on Arabic Media Studies at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen
.
The Graduate School at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for 2 PhD fellowships expected to begin on September 1st 2009 within the following areas:
a) Syrian TV-serials: Since the early 1990s, a private Syrian TV industry has emerged producing serials for Arab satellite TV. The PhD project proposal should be centered on this new phenomenon. The project can analyze the production environment, the production and content of the serials themselves, or the reception of the serials by Arab audiences.
This PhD fellowship is co-financed by the new Islamic Public Sphere Programme (CNIO), the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen and the Danish Institute in Damascus, Syria. The selected candidate will primarily be affiliated with the Danish Institute in Damascus where most of the allotted work that the candidate has to fulfil will take place. The selected candidate will also be affiliated with and receive supervision from the staff at CNIO.
b) Islam in Arab Media: The project proposal should have a special emphasis on how various expressions of Islam affect the Arab Media. Potential studies could take up production environments, e.g. specific TV channels or web portals. It could also be centred on particular genres, media-personalities or audiences.
This PhD fellowship is financed by the New Islamic Public Sphere Programme (CNIO) at the Department of Cross Cultural and Regional Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen. The selected candidate will be affiliated with and receive supervision from the staff at CNIO.
