Culture UnitAbout Mats Björkin
Mats Björkin is a professor of film studies at the University of Gothenburg. In December 2021, his book Post War Industrial Media Culture in Sweden 1945-1960: New Faces, New Values was published at Amsterdam University Press, which analyzes how knowledge about automation and pedagogy contributed to changing the use of media in Swedish industry and the public sector during the 1950s. His ongoing research focuses on historical and economic perspectives on film distribution, as well as method development within economic, organizational and technological perspectives on media history.
