Scopic media are display and monitoring technologies which visually project distant events and activities into social situations. They enhance the situation informationally, epistemically (they allow further scientific processing of the information) and interactionally (they allow interaction at a distance). Scopic media transform a basic concept of sociology, the face-to-face situation, into a "synthetic situation" enriched by information and communication technology components. Our central questions are i) how this form of mediatization of a basic sociological concept becomes articulated across domains, ii) how the notion of the social situation can be adapted to its massive mediatization; iii) and which theoretical and empirical characteristics of synthetic situations emerge in the process. The proposed research project shifts the level of investigation from the micro-level of the face-to-face situation to the meso- and institutional level. It investigates how the synthetic situation becomes upgraded compared to the "naked" face-to-face situation for institutional and actorial functions when scopic media make it possible for these functions to be picked and placed into synthetic situations. It asks 1) if the social situation can become a locus of institutional realization; 2) how synthetic actors emerge and how their presence changes our concept of the interaction order; 3) if the notion of attentional integration can be seen as a basic mechanism of integration in a mediatized world; and finally 4) what we can learn systematically and theoretically from the empirical evidence collected in a variety of domains in order to "update" the sociological notion of the social situation for the increasingly global and increasingly mediatized societies in which we live.

视距媒体是一种显示和监控技术，它可以直观地将遥远的事件和活动投射到社会情境中。它们在信息上、认知上（它们允许对信息进行进一步的科学处理）和互动上（它们允许远距离互动）改善了情况。视域媒体将社会学的一个基本概念——面对面的情境——转变为一种被信息和传播技术成分丰富的“综合情境”。我们的核心问题是：1)一个基本社会学概念的这种媒介化形式如何跨领域地表达出来；2)社会状况的概念如何适应其大规模的媒介化；Iii)在这一过程中出现了哪些综合情况的理论和经验特征。提出的研究项目将调查层面从面对面的微观层面转移到中观和制度层面。它探讨了当媒体使这些功能被挑选和放置到综合情境中成为可能时，与制度和行为功能的“赤裸裸的”面对面情境相比，综合情境是如何升级的。它问：1)社会情境能否成为制度实现的场所；2)合成行为者如何出现以及他们的存在如何改变我们对互动秩序的概念；3)注意整合的概念是否可以被视为中介化世界中整合的基本机制；最后，我们可以从各个领域收集的经验证据中系统地和理论上学习到什么，以便“更新”我们所生活的日益全球化和日益中介化的社会的社会状况的社会学概念。
