The Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturforschung (ZMK) was a German specialist journal in the field of media studies , which was published by Lorenz Engell and Bernhard Siegert at the International College for Cultural Technology Research and Media Philosophy (IKKM) and edited by Harun Maye and Leander Scholz . It was published twice a year by Felix Meiner Verlag .

The ZMK aimed at the interdisciplinary discussion of a theory of cultural techniques and media-philosophical problems. In doing so, she assumed that the evolution of media-cultural contexts can only be adequately captured if the role of artefacts, apparatus and devices in cultural services and their reflection is taken into account. The focus of the technical contributions was therefore on the analysis of the interrelationships between actions, findings and works in ensembles of human and non-human agents. The journal thus also offered an international forum for media research in cultural studies, which has now become a specialist discipline.

At the end of the IKKM project in spring 2020, the ZMK was also discontinued.
