CULCORC is a research unit affiliated with the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University in Prague. CULCORC was established in 2022 as part of the Institute’s CEMES research structure.
The objectives of CULCORC are to engage in, and facilitate, research on culture and communication, with an emphasis on the multitude of meaning-generating processes, enabled by communicational exchanges, the power dynamics that characterize them and the conflicts that surround them, the intersections with the material worlds of technologies and infrastructures, and with embodied practices and non-human realities.
Please check the outputs page to see all research outputs published by the CULCORC members.
Through insightful discussions, thought-provoking interviews, and deep dives into pivotal topics, we aim to provoke critical thinking and foster a deeper understanding of the profound role that culture and communication play in our lives.
All publications of CULCORC members are available on Zenodo.
