Research priorities and completed projects

Her habilitation thesis is entitled “The everyday life of publics. An Ethnographic Study ” (2014). On the basis of various case studies on the current development of print media in Germany, this examined the question of how it can be possible to give shape to the abstract idea of ​​the public in everyday life and in social relationships from a cultural-anthropological perspective .

Your dissertation with the title “Overwriting borders? German-German Correspondence 1948–1989 ” (2004) examined the question of how East-West German letter writers had managed to keep up correspondence with friends and family over the years and decades. She also examined how social processes and events, the inner-German border and the integration of GDR and Federal Republic into two different political and economic systems were discussed and how personal conflicts and differences of opinion were dealt with. She showed how letters helped, to what extent East and West Germans still saw themselves as members of a common cultural community that was fundamentally in question in view of the German-German division.
