Jochen Hörisch (born August 3, 1951 in Bad Oldesloe ) is a German literary and media scholar.

Life

Hörisch studied German literature, philosophy and history at the universities of Düsseldorf , Paris and Heidelberg from 1970 to 1976 . After his habilitation in 1982, he was a private lecturer and professor at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf .

Since 1988 he has been professor for modern German studies and media analysis at the University of Mannheim . In May 2018 he gave his farewell lecture on the subject of “Goethe's Faust or The Ir / Rationality of Science”. As part of his teaching activities, he regularly offered a seminar on current productions at the Mannheim National Theater in cooperation with the Mannheim National Theater . He was visiting professor in 1986 at the University of Klagenfurt , in 1993 at the École normal supérieure in Paris, in 1996 at the University of Virginia , in 1999 at Princeton University and in 2002 at Indiana University .

Jochen Hörisch is married and has three children. He is a member of the Free Academy of the Arts Hamburg .

The main focus of his scientific and journalistic activities concern the diverse dimensions of "understanding" every type of media, starting with texts in books up to the new media . Hörisch asks questions about the function of the media in the same way when it comes to objects such as bread and wine (as the media of the Lord's Supper ) or money (as a medium of barter).

His scientific publications are supplemented by extensive and regular public appearances. On these occasions Jochen Hörisch often deals with other areas from his spectrum of interests, such as B. Questions of the history of philosophy and musical topics, such as the work of Richard Wagner . He also commented on the Münkler Watch blog and described this form of criticism of a university professor as an “absurd event”. In the Nordwestradio he always looks at the media events of the previous week in the column “Das Medienecho” on Mondays.

In connection with a review of his book The Knowledge of Literature by Burkhard Müller in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, there was a publicly documented argument between the author and his critic in Perlentaucher .

In 2000, Hörisch received the Aby Warburg Foundation's Science Prize . In 2010 he founded the Deutsche Tilgungsinitiative with Alexander Dill , with Hörisch being the first Tilger.
