PhD | Dr. des.

Dr. des. Vera Klocke is a researcher in the fields of media and popular culture as well as a cultural critic and cultural producer who combines ethnographic methods and artistic approaches. In her doctoral thesis, she researched processes of media appropriation in the domestic sphere and most recently expanded this perspective on media use in the research project “Moving Publics and Private Spheres at the Margins: Homelessness in Times of Mobile Media” at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

She produces the podcast “Fashion The Gaze”, which deals with the political potential of contemporary phenomena, and analyses (pop) cultural events as a cultural critic for the radio station Deutschlandfunk Kultur. As an author, she has transformed her academic research processes and results into feature-length radio pieces (also for Deutschlandfunk Kultur), video installations and theatre performances.
