Dr. Daniela Wentz is a researcher at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, where she serves as Scientific Project Manager for the ongoing research initiative 'Making Sense(s). The Mediality of the Near Senses' (active since June 2019). Her academic work bridges media theory, digital cultures, and sensory studies, with particular emphasis on television seriality and postdigital criticism.
Wentz's research explores:
- The transformation of criticism in digital environments
- Narrative structures in television series (e.g., Stranger Things, Lost)
- Diagrammatic reasoning in visual media
- Sensory mediation and perceptual technologies
- Post-9/11 cultural representations
- Media archaeology and historical transitions in broadcasting
Her scholarly output demonstrates strong engagement with media theory and visual semiotics, particularly through analyses of television seriality and cinematic epistemology. Recent work (2019-2023) shows increased focus on postdigital critique and sensory media.
Wentz frequently collaborates on edited volumes and special journal issues, notably co-editing Kritik postdigital (2023) and Filmische Moderne: 60 Fragmente (2019). She maintains active research partnerships with scholars including Lorenz Engell, Jens Schröter, and Katharina Niemeyer.
