  abstract  = {Am Beispiel der Elektrifizierung zweier Großst{\"a}dte an der Westk{\"u}ste S{\"u}damerikas zeigt die Arbeit den globalen Einfluss deutscher Industrie- und Finanzakteure auf technische, st{\"a}dtebauliche und gesellschaftlich-kulturelle Entwicklungen zur Bl{\"u}tezeit des europ{\"a}ischen Imperialismus auf. Damit werden die Regionalgeschichten der chilenischen Hauptstadtregion und der Elektropolis Berlin zu einer Globalgeschichte miteinander verkn{\"u}pft. Ein Hauptaugenmerk der Analyse liegt dabei auf den weltweiten Akteursnetzwerken und Machtverh{\"a}ltnissen sowie dem kulturellen Erbe und seiner gegenw{\"a}rtigen Interpretation.},

  abstract  = {This practice-based research examines platforms and encounters that have a participatory character as a strategy to create lived and shared experiences where new forms of appropriation of the city can emerge. The selected case studies propose and initiate certain urban experiences that induce changes in perception, the exchange of perspectives, and that denaturalize habits and patterns of behavior. I suggest that when these sensitive experiences become imprinted in body memory, they can empower citizens to have more active, creative, and/or critical attitudes towards their environments. Searching for new repertoires of everyday practices that contest commodification of both the body and the city, this thesis is oriented towards open-ended processes of constructing mentalities rather than those of planning changes on the material conditions of public space. It uses forms of academic investigation that merge intellectual debate and experimental practice, joining art, urbanism and social engaged practices in an extradisciplinary (Howes 2007) attitude towards the city. Based on the materials generated by the case studies (combining theoretical knowledge with artistic sensibility), the affective and corporeal involvement of researchers in the situations they analyze and co-create, is sustained in opposition to the traditional academic critical distance.},
