That connection goes far beyond capturing a few images as memories. Hammelburg shows that for many people today, there is simply no experience of liveness without a phone. She talks about eventspheres: hybrid events that take place simultaneously in physical locations and in media environments. For makers, programmers and other professionals, she drew up ten practical design principles to make the hybrid live experience for visitors as powerful as possible. With her innovative and practice-oriented research, Hammelburg places, in the jury's opinion, the functioning of art and culture par excellence in the contemporary social context of concert-goers and festival-goers.\"\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boekman Dissertation Prize is awarded once every three years by the Boekman Foundation and the NWO Social Sciences and Humanities Domain. The prize awards the best Dutch dissertation at the intersection of art, culture and society, and aims to bring recent scientific insights to wide attention. The prize comes with a cash prize of \u20ac10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winner will also be invited as a guest editor for a themed issue of the magazine <em>Bookman<\/em>, which focuses on the topic of the winning dissertation. The dissertation prize is in line with the ideas of Emanuel Boekman (1889-1940), who was the first in the Netherlands to do a PhD on the relationship between government and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Jury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury of the 6th Boekman Dissertation Prize consisted of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prof Susanne Janssen <\/strong>(chairman), professor of Media and Culture, Erasmus University Rotterdam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prof Odile Heynders<\/strong>, professor of Comparative Literature, Tilburg University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prof Gabri van Tussenbroek<\/strong>, professor of Urban Identity and Monuments, University of Amsterdam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dr Femke van Hest<\/strong>, strategic advisor culture, municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toef Jaeger<\/strong>, arts editor, NRC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">The full jury report is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boekman.nl\/actualiteit\/de-6e-boekman-dissertatieprijs\/?utm_source=Perslijst&amp;utm_campaign=72478cbbf2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_Boekman_6e-Dissertatieprijs_2025&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-df2e0c28c6-&amp;ct=t(EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_Boekman_6e-Dissertatieprijs_2025)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our website<\/a>.<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prijs voor dissertatie over live-beleving en media bij culturele evenementen Esther Hammelburg is de winnaar van de zesde Boekman Dissertatieprijs voor kunst, cultuur en beleid.
