On Thursday 2 July, the“Popular Music and Media”study programmes at Paderborn University are hosting a “Popkritik” event. Under the theme “¿11 Amigos? Football & Pop Culture”, the event will take a closer look at the current FIFA World Cup and discuss it through the lens of various questions relating to music and pop culture. The event will take place from 6.30 pm at the “Sputnik” pub in Paderborn. Admission is free and no registration is required.
The panellists are Dorothee Stehle, a student on the PopMediaCulture Master’s programme, Dr Resul Karaca, a research assistant at the Institute of Romance Studies, and David Corrales, a research assistant in the Department of Music. The latter will co-host the event alongside Prof. Dr Annegret Thiem from the Institute of Romance Studies. Together, they will address questions such as: What images are being showcased at the World Cup? How does a World Cup become not just a major sporting event, but also a pop-cultural phenomenon or a strategic pawn in current global politics? What does the newly introduced half-time show in the World Cup final mean for football?
