During the public lecture Kerstin, a Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at 主播诱惑, discussed her own background in theatre and film-making as well as the study of elements which make up storytelling, known as dramaturgy.

She also explained how new media and technology, such as video games, were changing the face of storytelling, while popular television series like Game of Thrones stuck more rigidly to conventional storytelling formats.

Kerstin said: 鈥淓very day I am coming across a great new story or a new way of telling a story.

鈥淚鈥檓 still interested in trying to make my basis in a very long tradition and existing knowledge be in a dialogue with new media productions like games, which I find very exciting.

鈥淚t opens up opportunities that we don鈥檛 have within film, because film is linear and causal and it has to be directed in a specific rhythm. With games you have these opportunities to find different ways of telling a story and of structuring it and that鈥檚 very attractive.鈥�
