Current research topics
Focus of research
Heike Greschke's research interests focus on empirical analyses of media-related transformation processes of sociality and culture. Here, the focus is on studies of processes of techno-social hybridisation (Greschke/Motowidlo 2020) in the context of global forms of community (Greschke 2009) and trans-state family organisation (Greschke/Dreßler/Hierasimowicz 2017; Greschke/Ott 2020) as well as the differentiation and transformation of forms and norms of presence (Greschke 2021). Furthermore, she is interested in the relationship between social and cultural differentiation in processes of global socialisation/communitarisation. In the context of a junior research group on the cultural interpretations of climate change impacts (link to the final report and a scientific short film on the project), she investigated the question of how orders of belonging and claims to validity of cultural knowledge are transformed in the paradigm of the Anthropocene (Greschke/Diaz 2012, Greschke 2015). Recently, she has increasingly devoted herself to the tension between social (global) inequality and cultural difference (marking) from an invective-theoretical perspective. Here, for example, she focuses on the role of cultural institutions in the context of polarisation processes in urban society (Greschke et al. 2020). In a comparative study of intercultural training and integration courses, she examines how society deals with conflict risks in situations of anticipated cultural foreignness (Greschke/Fouad 2021a) and communicative practices of cultural comparison (Fouad/Greschke 2021b). In the latter topic area, she has recently devoted special attention to the role of media in dealing with risks of public shaming and disparagement (Greschke 2023).
