Research

At the intersection of Aesthetics and German linguistics

Anne Koskinen, Meisterschülerin, MA, MA, is a doctoral researcher in Aesthetics in the Doctoral Programme in Philosophy, Arts and Society, and a grant-funded researcher in the Department of Philosophy, History, and Arts at the University of Helsinki. She is also a member of the Comparing and Contrasting Languages and Cultures – CoCoLaC Research Community and the Helsinki Inequality Initiative (INEQ).

At the intersection of philosophical aesthetics and German linguistics, her research focuses on the theory of image production and the visual constitution of meaning in the multimodal and multilingual contexts of everyday life, art and philosophy. At the same time, the relationship between language, thought and power is an important topic, without forgetting the concepts of intercultural and transgenerational communication.
