Rassismuskritische Arbeit an/in der Medienwissenschaft. Das Forum Antirassismus Medienwissenschaft (FAM)

This article documents the founding of Forum Antirassismus Medienwissenschaft (FAM) in fall 2020 and its activities since then. Various working groups took on topics such as critical diversity, canon critique, and prevention of violence, while also aiming at interventions in social debates beyond a professional public sphere. Critically examining junctures of media and racism, colonialism, sexism, classism, and antisemitism is connected to the question of how intersectional relations of power historically and currently shape media studies through their entry into media technologies, subjects, and institutions.
