Intercultural Dialogue and Interdisciplinary Convergence:
Toward Plural Media Studies

Wu Jingwei, Jens Schröter, Song Sijing (Translator)

Journal of Communication Innovation Research, 2, 2025, p. 1-13 + 238.

This article conducts an in-depth interview with Jens Schröter, a German media studies scholar. It attempts to define and explore the characteristics, boundaries, current significance and limitations, as well as future developments of media studies. Taking as its starting point the study of the technologies and associated institutions and practices that are necessary to store, transmit, process and display information, media studies is both distinct from other fields of study and also has possibilities that allow for dialogue and integration, presenting itself as a plural discipline. On the one hand, media studies emerge based on the overlapping of different developments, focusing on a specific object (media) with various approaches and perspectives. On the other hand, media studies, which for historical reasons focuses more on technology, can in the future incorporate economic and political issues into its research framework through dialog and integration with other fields, such as economics; German media studies can likewise engage in a dialog with media studies in other countries, such as China and France. In our current technological society, we are dependent on technological infrastructure all the time, and media studies are helping to answer the question of what is happening around us and society.
