Astrid von Rosen
Professor
Aesthetics UnitAbout Astrid von Rosen
I am full professor of art history and visual studies, scenogaråhy studies, at the Department of Cultural Sciences, University of Gothenburg. I am also director for cross-facult Centre for Critical Heritage Studies. My areas of research are scenography studies and cross-disciplinary performing arts and critical archival studies.
Since the 1960s scenography studies have been part of Swedish art history. My doctoral dissertation from 2010 explors the life and work of poioneering scenographer Knut Ström, both in Germany and Sweden. The Swedish reserach council funded cross-disciplinary research project Expansion and diversity: Digital mapping and analysis of independent performing arts in Gothenburg 1965-2000, forms the basis of my current work.
