On Wednesday, 12 November, music journalist, presenter and author Markus Kavka will be a guest at Paderborn University for two events. The events are being organised in cooperation with the C:POP. Transdisciplinary Research Centre for Popular Music Cultures and Creative Economies at Paderborn University.

As part of the seminar "Post Punk, New Wave and Synthie Pop: Subcultures, Mainstreams, Gender and Zeitgeister" by Prof. Dr. Christoph Jacke, an open talk will take place from 2 to 4 pm in room H7.321, in which the cultural and media significance of the 1980s will be discussed. The topic is the influence of music journalism, fashion and medialisation on pop culture in the 1980s, when pop, politics and aesthetics came together in a new way. The event is open to the public and free of charge. 

In the evening, Kavka will read from his book "Markus Kavka über Depeche Mode" at Deelenhaus Paderborn (Kr?merstra?e 8-10, 33098 Paderborn) from 7.30 to 9.30 pm. In addition to a classic reading, the former MTV presenter will combine passages from the book with songs by Depeche Mode as well as videos, private photos and excerpts from interviews he conducted with the band. Tickets for this event are available on the Deelenhaus website and cost 20 (regular) or ten euros (concessions). Paderborn University students receive free admission as part of the AStA culture ticket on presentation of their student ID.
