Three master theses on Lautarchiv-related subjects in 2024

In 2024, three students successfully completed their Master’s degree with a thesis on a Lautarchiv-related topic.

At the University of Amsterdam’s Department of Cultural Analysis (Prof. Rolando Vázquez), Marie Baur completed her Master’s thesis on ‘Return(s) Listening to and beyond Voice Recordings of Martinican and Guadeloupean Prisoners of War in Germany during the First World War’.

At the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Dominik Biewer completed his Master’s degree with a thesis on ‘Die Stimme im Vollzug. (Re-)Figurierung einer “kriminellen Stimmaufnahme” im Archiv’ (Prof. Silvy Chakkalakal).

In the Language and Communication degree programme of the Technische Universität Berlin (Prof. Thiering), Luise Haubenreiser completed a linguistic thesis on ‘Das koloniale Archiv als Hort der Macht. Auf der Suche nach dekolonialen Resonanzen in der linguistischen Praxis’.

Congratulations!

All three works can be found in the Lautarchiv’s reference library and can be viewed and read on site by appointment.
