A journey from the hunko to the counter-ethnography and back N2 - A complex artistic research on the theme of cultural heritage and (neo)colonial processes of material and immaterial expropriation. Starting from the encounter with a phonographic relic at the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv, the artist embarks on a journey to her own roots embodied in the practice of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé. In the form of a theoretical treatise, an archive (photos, diagrams, maps, newspaper clippings, letters, documents), as well as a sound performance in the public space of the city of Weimar, several theoretical and performative elements are brought together in this transmedia artistic research that proposes a true decolonial practice.

Histories of self-production - histories of social rise N2 - Brazilian battlers’ housing discusses the self-production of dwellings in the circumstances of the socioeconomic rise of the so-called Brazilian new middle class, occurred on the first decade of the years 2000. Battlers are a precarious working class of about 100 million people, who have used their recently increased purchase power to informally solve their private housing demands, planning, building and renovating their homes themselves, with limited technical knowledge and almost no access to formal technicians as for example architects. The result is a mode of housing production, which spreads over the territory in micro-local self-initiatives and informal social practices of construction and management. With the support of a controversial manpower, this practice presents all sorts of technical complications, but at the same time expedient ways of affordability and creative spatial solutions for ordinary constructive problems. Such initiatives have consolidated Brazilian informal settlements and peripheral subdivisions, attending a demand poorly responded by the government. This research recognises the benefits of the self-production, but questions the conditions under which it happens and asks if it really collaborates for a true social rise of those who are engaged in it. With an empirical and qualitative approach and taking dwelling construction processes leaded by battlers as main information sources, the academic work responds if and how the socioeconomic rise of the Brazilian battlers has exactly affected the self-production of dwellings. For that, battlers’ self-production of dwellings is analysed and discussed in five main aspects: 1) acquisition of land and real state, 2) building overtime, 3) space and creative power, 4) technical complications and building materials and 5) manpower and know-how.

Brazilian cities have also adopted this approach, like the case of Florianópolis. Florianópolis has promoted advertising campaigns on the natural resources of the Island of Santa Catarina as well as on its quality of life in comparison to other cities. However, due also to such campaigns, it has experienced a great demographic growth and, consequently, infrastructural and social problems. Nevertheless, it seems to have a good image within the national urban scenario and has been commonly considered an “urban consumption dream” for many Brazilians. This paradoxical situation is the reason why it has been chosen as the research object in this dissertation. Thus, the questions of this research are: is there a gap between the promise and the performance of the city of Florianópolis? If so, can tourists and residents recognize it? And finally, how can this gap be demonstrated? Accordingly, the main objective of this research is to propose a conformity assessment approach applicable to cities, by which the content of city advertisement campaigns can be compared to its performance indicators and satisfaction degree of its consumers. Therefore, this approach is composed by different methods: literature and legislation reviews, semi-structured and structured interviews with experts and inhabitants, an urban centrality development analysis, a qualitative discourse analysis of advertising material (including images), a qualitative content analysis of newspaper reports and a questionnaire survey. Finally, the theses are: yes, there is a gap between promise and performance of Florianópolis; this promise is a result of city marketing campaigns which advertise its natural features and at the same time hiding its urban aspects, supported by some political and private actors, mainly interested in the development of tourism and real estate market in the city; this gap has been already recognized by tourists and more intensively by residents; the selected methods worked as a kind of conformity assessment for cities and tourist destinations; and last but not least, since there is a gap, it designates the practice of “make-up urbanism”. Research limitations are the short time frame covered by this analysis and small and non-representative samples. However, its relevance lies in the attempt to fill in two disciplinary lacunas: a conformity assessment approach for cities and the creation of knowledge about Florianópolis and its further presentation at an international level, on the one hand. On the other hand, the transfer of this approach to other cities would help explaining a (common) contemporary urban phenomenon and appeal for more ethical conduct and transparency in the practices of city marketing. N2 - In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten sahen sich viele Städte zunehmend einer Veränderung ihrer ökonomischen Basis ausgesetzt, was zum Aufgreifen unternehmerischer Ansätze mit Strategien des Stadtmarketings führte. Brasilianische Städte wie Florianópolis haben diesen Ansatz ebenfalls adaptiert, u.a. durch Werbekampagnen über die natürlichen Ressourcen der Insel Santa Catarina und eine höhere Lebensqualität. Diese trugen allerdings auch zu einem demografischen Wachstum mit begleitenden infrastrukturellen und sozialen Problemen bei. Dennoch scheint Florianópolis insgesamt ein gutes Image zu haben. Diese paradoxe Situation ist der Grund, weshalb die Stadt als Fallstudie für die vorliegende Dissertation ausgewählt wurde. Die Forschungsfragen sind deshalb folgende: Gibt es eine Diskrepanz zwischen dem Versprechen und der tatsächlichen Performanz der Stadt Florianópolis? Falls ja, können Touristen und Einwohner diese wahrnehmen? Der Hauptfokus liegt auf dem Erarbeiten einer auf Städte anwendbaren Konformitätsbewertung, durch die der Inhalt von städtischen Werbekampagnen mit ihren tatsächlichen Performanzindikatoren und dem Zufriedenheitsgrad ihrer Konsumenten verglichen werden kann. Der Ansatz basiert dabei auf mehreren Methoden: der Auswertung von Literatur und Gesetzen, halbstrukturierten und strukturierten Interviews mit Experten und Einwohnern der Stadt Florianópolis, einer Analyse über die Entwicklung der Stadtzentralität, der qualitativen Diskursanalyse von Werbematerial (inkl. Bildern), der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Zeitungsartikeln sowie einer Umfrage mittels Fragebogen. Die Thesen sind dabei folgende: 1. Ja, es gibt eine Diskrepanz zwischen Versprechen und tatsächlicher Performanz der Stadt Florianópolis. 2. Dieses Versprechen ist das Resultat von Stadtmarketingkampagnen, welche ihre natürlichen Eigenschaften bewerben, dabei aber gleichzeitig urbane Aspekte verbergen. 3. Die ermittelte Diskrepanz wurde bereits von Touristen und Einwohnern wahrgenommen. 4. Die ausgewählten Methoden stellen eine Konformitätsbewertung für Städte und Touristenziele dar. 5. Da es eine Diskrepanz gibt, ist diese bestimmend für die Praxis einer ‚Make-up-Urbanistik‘. Als Forschungsgrenzen sind der enge analysierte Zeitraum sowie verhältnismäßig kleine und nicht repräsentative Beispiele zu benennen. Die Relevanz der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt jedoch in dem Versuch, zwei disziplinäre Leerräume zu füllen: Zum einen durch den Ansatz einer Konformitätsbewertung für Städte im Allgemeinen mit der Generierung von Wissen über Florianópolis im Besonderen sowie zum anderen durch den Vorschlag einer weiterführenden Übertragung dieses Ansatzes auf andere Städte, um ein allgemeines urbanes Phänomen dieser Zeit zu erklären und dadurch Anreize zu schaffen für mehr Ethik und Transparenz in der Praxis des Stadtmarketings.
