TY - THES A1 - Motalebi, Mahgol T1 - Immigrant's Home in the Making through Spatial Practice; The Case of Iranians in Berlin N2 - Due to the significant number of immigrants in Europe, especially Germany, integration is an ongoing subject of debate. Since the 1970s, with the emergence of the discussions on ‘place,’ it has also been realized that the immigrant experience is associated with location. Nevertheless, due to the challenges in capturing the place and migration relevance, there is a gap in understanding the role of the migrant’s geography of experiences and its outcomes (Phillips & Robinson, 2015). This research aims to investigate the extent to which both the process of objective integration and the socio-spatial practices of high-skilled Iranian immigrants in Berlin outline and influence their sense of belonging to Berlin as the new “home.” The embedded mixed-method design had employed for this study. The quantitative analysis through Pearson’s correlation technique measured the strength of the association between Iranians’ settlement distribution and the characteristics of Berlins’ districts. The quantitative analysis provides contextual data to get a greater level of understanding of the case study’s interaction with place. The units of place intend to demonstrate the case study’s presence and possible interaction with places around their settlement location that relatively shapes their perception. The qualitative analysis comprises ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured in-depth interviews with a homogeneous sample of Iranian immigrants in Berlin that provide data on individual and ethnic behaviors and trajectories and analyze the complex interactions between the immigrant’s experience and the role of place. This research uncovers that Iranian highly skilled immigrants are successful in integrating objectively; However, in regards to their state of belonging, it illustrated the following: The role of socio-ethnic culture of the case study in denotation of home and belonging; Iranian high-skilled immigrants’ efforts towards reaching a level of upward mobility overshadow their attempt to shape social and spatial interaction with Berliners and Berlin itself, which manifests both in their perception and use of urban space; and finally, the identification practice and the boundary-making as an act of reassurance and self-protection against the generalization of adjacent nationalities, demonstrated in the intersection of demographical settlement distribution of Iranians in Berlin and the ethnic diversity, impact the sense of belonging and place-making.

Der Zugang zum Gegenstand verbindet Fragen der Stadtsoziologie und der Denkmalforschung. Im sozialen Feld der Stadterneuerung wird die Revitalisierung des ehemals von Leerstand und Rückbau betroffenen Baubestandes ausgehandelt. Die Positionen der Akteur:innen im Feld werden durch ihre Ausstattung mit ökonomischem, aber auch sozialem und kulturellem Kapital bestimmt. Angehörige der Planungs- und Denkmalbehörden verfügen über institutionalisiertes Kulturkapital und stehen damit Kleineigentümer:innen, häufig Autodidakt:innen, gegenüber. Baudenkmale können über ihre Funktion als Geldanlage und Wohnraum hinaus Status repräsentieren und symbolisch angeeignet werden. Denkmalschutz dient dem öffentlichen Interesse am Erhalt historischer Bausubstanz. Bei Sanierungen bestehen die Herausforderungen der Vereinbarkeit von Konservierung und Modernisierung, der Finanzierbarkeit für Eigentümer:innen und der Sozialverträglichkeit für Bewohnende. Eine Darstellung der historischen Entwicklung des Leipziger Ostens zu Beginn der Analyse veranschaulicht die Abhängigkeit kultureller, sozialer und ökonomischer Werte des Baubestandes vom jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Kontext. Planerische Konzepte für das Gebiet zeigen, dass eine sozioökonomische Stabilisierung und Imageverbesserung erreicht werden sollte durch das Aufgreifen von Potentialen, wie den denkmalgeschützten Bauten, dem zuziehenden alternativen Milieu und migrantischer Ökonomie. Es wird deutlich, dass nach einer initialen Ansässigkeit von Pionier:innen die öffentlichen Infrastrukturmaßnahmen und Denkmalausweisungen eine Inwertsetzung v. a. durch externe Anlegende vorbereiteten. Darauf aufbauend wurden anhand einer qualitativen Befragung die Erfahrungen von städtischen Mitarbeitenden, Fachleuten und im Quartier Engagierten denen von lokalen migrantischen Hausbesitzenden und im Bereich Sanierung Tätigen gegenübergestellt. Migrant:innengruppen haben den Stadtraum in einer Phase vorherrschender Abwanderung durch die Eröffnung von Geschäften und Institutionen sowie den Erwerb von Immobilien für sich erschlossen. Strukturelle Benachteiligungen, wie Diskriminierung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, ihre Ansässigkeit im sozial stigmatisierten Gebiet sowie geringes ökonomisches Kapital versuchten sie durch den Einsatz von sozialem Kapital auszugleichen. Sanierungen erfolgten mit hoher Eigenleistung und Rückgriff auf private Netzwerke. Die Analyse des Erneuerungsprozesses im Leipziger Osten zeigt, dass in einer initialen Phase Pionier:innen von Planenden und der Denkmalpflege als essentiell für die Entwicklung angesehen wurden. Günstige Instandsetzungen durch Kleineigentümer:innen wurden akzeptiert, um Gebäude vor weiterem Verfall zu bewahren. Mit der zunehmenden Forderung nach Verwendung hochwertiger Materialen werden die Sanierungsleistungen nach ästhetischen und letztlich ökonomischen Kriterien bewertet. Gegenüber sozialen Folgen einer Aufwertung von Bausubstanz lässt sich eine unkritische Haltung der Denkmalpflege erkennen. Bei der Vermarktung der Bestände durch professionelle Investierende findet die Sozialgeschichte des Stadtteils wenig Berücksichtigung, positiv besetzte Merkmale des Quartiers, wie Multikulturalität werden selektiv aufgegriffen. Der Anteil migrantischer Akteur:innen an der Entwicklung wird durch die Öffentlichkeit unzureichend anerkannt. Auch die Wertschätzung von Planenden und im Quartier Engagierten erfolgt v. a. anhand des ökonomischen Status. Hohe Erwartungen an die Geschäftsstruktur und die Erscheinung des Straßenbildes können nicht erfüllt werden. Migrantische Hausbesitzende und im Bereich Sanierung Tätige benötigen für die Auseinandersetzung mit der Denkmalpflege kulturelles Kapital. Sie erkennen die Bedeutung des historischen Baubestandes für die Stadt und die Arbeit der Institution an, kritisieren jedoch Sanierungsauflagen bzw. Mitarbeitende der Denkmalpflege und können sich z. T. gegen diese behaupten. Lokale migrantische Kleineigentümer:innen leisten durch ihre Quartiersbindung einen Beitrag zur ökonomischen und sozialen Stabilisierung. Mit ihrer Aufstiegsorientierung fördern sie in der Vermietungspraxis jedoch nur bedingt die Integration anderer Migrant:innen und grenzen sich von statusniedrigen Gruppen im Quartier ab. Migrantische Hausbesitzende und Unternehmende nehmen sich selbst als erfolgreiche Vorreitende in einer heterogener werdenden ostdeutschen Stadtgesellschaft wahr. Sie erkannten frühzeitig das Entwicklungspotential und gehören zu den Initiierenden und Profitierenden der Inwertsetzung.

The research aims to contribute to the understanding of the "non-hegemonic" versions of Modernity, its territoriality and the productions of geographic imaginaries that they involve. To provide a broad purpose, it raises as an object of study the ways in which "modern" practices, actors, links, discourses and expectations about the territory are mobilized when they are located in a space in "other" water conditions. those that are intended to "civilize" it. The general objective of the research is to analyze time-space controversies around water in the city and valley of Catamarca towards 19th and 20th centuries. The specific objectives derived are a) analyzing how various actors are related to waters behavior - in other words, the local water regime – in Catamarca and the meanings built around it. b) to analyze the controversies about the place of Catamarca and its water regime in the local and national geographic imaginary. c) analyze controversies in which the relationships between actors and materialities involved in modernization projects are put into discussion. These concerns by the experience of the actors and by the historical-spatial imagination of the territory, combined, led to the construction of an interdisciplinary methodology based on tools from anthropology, sociology, geography and history.

Urban-ethnographic analysis on gated housing developments of Guadalajara, Mexico. N2 - The Gated Community (GC) phenomenon in Latin American cities has become an inherent element of their urban development, despite academical debate, their approach thrives within the housing market; not surprisingly, as some of the premises on which GCs are based, namely safety, control and supervision intersperse seamlessly with the insecure conditions of the contexts from which they arise. The current security crisis in Mexico, triggered in 2006 by the so-called war on drugs, has reached its peak with the highest insecurity rates in decades, representing a unique chance to study these interactions. Although the leading term of this research, Urban Agoraphobia, implies a causal dichotomy between the rise in the sense of fear amongst citizens and housing confinement as lineal consequence, I acknowledge that GCs represent a complex phenomenon, a hub of diverse factors and multidimensional processes held on four fundamental levels: global, social, individual and state-related. The focus of this dissertation is set on the individual plane and contributes, from the analysis of the GC’s resident’s perspective, experiences and perceptions, to a debate that has usually been limited to the scrutiny of other drivers, disregarding the role of dweller’s underlying fears, motivations and concerns. Assuming that the current ruling security model in Mexico tends to empower its commodification rather than its collective quality, this research draws upon the use of a methodological triangulation, along conceptual and contextual analyses, to test the hypothesis that insecurity plays an increasingly major role, leading citizens into the belief that acquiring a household in a controlled and surveilled community represents a counterweight against the feared environment of the open city. The focus of the analysis lies on the internal hatch of community ties as potential palliative for the provision of a sense of security, aiming to transcend the unidimensional discourse of GCs as defined mainly by their defensive apparatus. Residents’ perspectives acquired through ethnographical analyses may provide the chance to gain an essential view into a phenomenon that further consolidates without a critical study of its actual implications, not only for Mexican cities, but also for the Latin American and global contexts.

Eine praxis-basierte, (re-)kontextualisierende und diskursanalytische Studie. N2 - Inhaltlich beschäftigt sich die Arbeit, die im Rahmen des Promotionsstudiengangs Kunst und Gestaltung an der Bauhaus-Universität entstand, mit der Erforschung sozio-interaktiver Potentiale der Videotelefonie im Kontext von Nähe und Verbundenheit mit Fokus auf Eigenbild, Embodiment sowie den Rederechtswechsel. Die Videotelefonie als Kommunikationsform hat sich – und darauf deuten die Erfahrungen der Co- vid-19-Pandemie hin – im lebensweltlichen Alltag der Menschen etabliert und wird dort in naher Zukunft nicht mehr wegzudenken sein. Auf Basis ihrer Möglichkeiten und Errungenschaften ist es inzwischen Realität und Lebenswirklichkeit, dass die Kommunikation sowohl im privaten als auch im geschäftlichen Kontext mittels verschiedenster Kanäle stattfindet. Der Videotelefonie kommt hierbei als solche nicht nur eine tragende Funktion, sondern auch eine herausragende Rolle bei der vermeintlichen Reproduktion der Face-to-Face-Kommunikation im digitalen Raum zu und wird wie selbstverständlich zum zwischenmenschlichen Austausch genutzt. Just an diesem Punkt knüpft die Forschungsarbeit an. Zentral stand dabei das Vorhaben einer dezidierte Untersuchung des Forschungsgegenstandes Videotelefonie, sowohl aus Kultur- als auch Technikhistorischer, aber auch Medien-, Wahrnehmungs- wie Kommunikations- theoretischer Perspektive, indem analytische und phänosemiotische Perspektiven miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden (z.B. Wahrnehmungsbedingungen, Interaktionsmerkmale, realisierte Kommunikationsprozesse etc.). Damit verbundenes, wünschenswertes Ziel war es, eine möglichst zeitgemäße wie relevante Forschungsfrage zu adressieren, die neben den kulturellen Technisierungs- und Mediatisierungstendenzen in institutionellen und privaten Milieus ebenfalls eine conditio sine qua non der pandemischen (Massen-)Kommunikation entwirft. Die Arbeit ist damit vor allem im Bereich des Produkt- und Interactiondesigns zu verorten. Darüber hinaus hatte sie das Ziel der Darlegung und Begründung der Videotelefonie als eigenständige Kommunikationsform, welche durch eigene, kommunikative Besonderheiten, die sich in ihrer jeweiligen Ingebrauchnahme sowie durch spezielle Wahrnehmungsbedingungen äußern, und die die Videotelefonie als »Rederechtswechselmedium« avant la lettre konsolidieren, gekennzeichnet ist. Dabei sollte der Beweis erbracht werden, dass die Videotelefonie nicht als Schwundstufe einer Kommunikation Face-to-Face, sondern als ein eigenständiges Mediatisierungs- und Kommunikationsereignis zu verstehen sei. Und eben nicht als eine beliebige – sich linear vom Telefon ausgehende – entwickelte Form der audio-visuellen Fernkommunikation darstellt, sondern die gestalterische (Bewegtbild-)Technizität ein eigenständiges Funktionsmaß offeriert, welches wiederum ein innovatives Kommunikationsmilieu im Kontext einer Rederechtswechsel-Medialität stabilisiert.

T1 - The reverse of urban planning. Towards a 20th century history of informal urbanization in Europe and its origins in Madrid and Paris (1850-1940) N2 - The objective of this thesis was to understand the 20th-century history of informal urbanisation in Europe and its origins in Madrid and Paris. The concept of informal urbanisation was employed to refer to the process of developing shacks and precarious single-family housing areas that were not planned by the public powers and were considered to be substandard because of their below-average materials and social characteristics. Our main hypothesis was that despite being a phenomenon with ancient roots, informal urbanisation emerged as a public problem and was subsequently prohibited in connection with another historical process occurred: the birth of contemporary urban planning. Therefore, its transformation into a deviant and illegal urban growth mechanism would have been a pan-European process occurring at the same pace that urban planning developed during the first decades of the 20th century. Analysing the 20th-century history of informal urbanisation in Europe was an ambitious task that required using a large number of sources. To contend with this issue, this thesis combined two main methods: historiographical research about informal urbanisation in Europe and archival research of two case studies, Madrid and Paris, to make the account more precise by analysing primary sources of the subject. Our research of these informal areas, which were produced mainly through poor private allotments and housing developed on land squats, revealed two key moments of explosive growth across Europe: the 1920s and 1960s. The near disappearance of informal urbanisation throughout the continent seemed to be a consequence not of the historical development of urban planning—which was commonly transgressed and bypassed—but of the exacerbation of global economic inequalities, permitting the development of a geography of privilege in Europe. Concerning the cases of Paris and Madrid, the origins of informal urbanisation—that is, the moment the issue started to be problematised—seemed to occur in the second half of the 19th century, when a number of hygienic norms and surveillance devices began to control housing characteristics. From that moment onwards, informal urbanisation areas formed peripheral belts in both cities. This growth became the object of an illegalisation process of which we have identified three phases: (i) the unregulated development of the phenomenon during the second half of the 20th century, (ii) the institutional production of “exception regulations” to permit a controlled development of substandard housing in the peripheral fringes of both cities, and (iii) the synchronic prohibition of informal urbanisation in the 1920s and its illegal reproduction.

N2 - This thesis is exploring the consequences of uranium mining in the area around the former mining region of the Wismut SAG / SDAG in Ronneburg (East Thuringia), East Germany. The topic is viewed from historical, social, cultural-anthropological and artistic aspects and placed in the context of the worldwide requirements of the nuclear industry and the effects of uranium mining and its consequences. The thesis explains how a uranium mining landscape is created and what knowledge is important for an adequate understanding of the phenomenon. It is examined whether art can make a relevant contribution in dealing with the uranium mining landscape. It discusses artworks that have dealt with related topics. In combination of these two main aspects, the thesis investigates the question which factors shape the uranium mining landscape and whether there are meaningful fields of participation for artistic research and which conditions would have to be met for this. The core thesis of the work is that artistic work in the field of uranium mining can make relevant contributions under certain conditions. It also contains field research, interviews and the description and application of a method called "random-structured landscape observation".

El Caso de barrio Güemes 2000-2016 T1 - Continuities, tensions and breakdowns in the inhabit practices, in the framework of the transformations of 'traditional' neighborhoods. The case of Güemes neighborhood 2000-2016 N2 - El presente trabajo se inscribe en el campo de los estudios urbanos y plantea como ejes estructurantes la intersección entre las políticas públicas, el barrio y las prácticas del habitar (de Certeau, 1996, 1999; Gravano, 2003) en el marco de las transformaciones del espacio urbano en los barrios pericentrales, también denominados tradicionales de la ciudad de Córdoba, particularmente lo acontecido en Barrio Güemes, durante el periodo 2010-2016. El propósito del abordaje se inscribe en conocer y realizar aportes generalizables a la comprensión de las prácticas del habitar como unidad de análisis. En ese marco, el problema de investigación se formula en el siguiente interrogante: ¿cómo se modifican las prácticas del habitar en el marco de las transformaciones urbanas, en un modo de producción capitalista? Se entiende a las prácticas como acciones elementales de las “artes de hacer” que las personas ordinarias ponen en marcha en su vida cotidiana: para circular, cocinar, trabajar, vincularse. También, a través de las mismas resignifican los espacios, les otorgan una valoración (positiva o negativa), se identifican como parte de la identidad y a su vez se reconocen lugares de (des)encuentro y vías de circulación. Para su abordaje se toma como unidad de estudio el caso de barrio Güemes. El recorte espacial (o físico) del trabajo empírico está localizado en la ciudad de Córdoba, y se sitúa en la periferia del área central. Esta localización permite comprender el surgimiento de las primeras expansiones urbanas como consecuencia del crecimiento demográfico y cómo estas, se transformaron en los primeros barrios. El recorte temporal se encuentra delimitado entre los años 2000 y 2016, respaldado intencionalmente por dos acontecimientos significativos: el censo de población (2001) y la celebración del Bicentenario de la Independencia en Argentina. Los cambios materializados en ciertos espacios urbanos, tanto en ciudades latinoamericanas (Buenos Aires, Salvador de Bahía en Brasil, México Distrito Federal, etc.) como en otras partes del mundo (New Orleans en los Estados Unidos, el distrito de Kreuzberg- Friedrichshain en Berlín, el puerto de Hamburgo en Alemania, etc.) demuestran cómo estos espacios se van transformado acorde al modo de reproducción capitalista. Pues, se trataba de espacios que en algún momento cumplieron funciones económicas-sociales jerarquizadas y luego por la dinámica misma del capitalismo, la sobreacumulación, dejan de ser rentables y pasan a ser espacios “obsoletos”. En ese sentido, la omisión de acciones públicas y/o privadas, la desatención y el crecimiento de situaciones sociales conflictivas (delitos, inseguridad, degradación) en estos espacios, funciona como argumento para que los gobiernos locales comiencen a planear el futuro y modernizarlos. De esta manera, se plantean políticas urbanas con el objetivo de impulsar acciones de renovación o rehabilitación para dinamizar económicamente determinados sectores. Dos elementos discursivos aparecen como posibilitadores del proceso de renovación urbana: el turismo y el patrimonio. En ese sentido, bajo la recuperación patrimonial de ciertos lugares se dinamizan los territorios, por lo que el turismo se vuelve una herramienta económica que produce un excedente de plusvalía. La puesta en valor de bienes tangibles e intangibles atrae la afluencia de visitantes y, a la vez, es rentable económicamente. Ahora bien, muchas veces los proyectos tienen en cuenta las variables morfológicas y físicas, dejando en un segundo plano el impacto en el espacio próximo y las relaciones entre los habitantes con su territorio. Actualmente los espacios elegidos por los municipios para la intervención pública y/o privada son los barrios, puesto que son espacios cercanos al centro y considerados estratégicos. Por lo general, el argumento es la necesidad de rehabilitar/renovar zonas poco aprovechadas o degradadas con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida de la población y dinamizar el sector (Brites, 2017; Guevara, 2012). Desde los 2000 el barrio Güemes asiste a un proceso de crecimiento inusitado. La cantidad de artesanos se disparó y variedad de productos ofrecidos, emergieron los comercios que forman parte de la oferta comercial, gastronómica y cultural del barrio. Hace varios años, presenta nuevos actores económicos que se pueden observar en la apertura de galerías comerciales; ubicadas sobre el eje de las calles Belgrano, Achával Rodríguez, Fructuoso Rivera y la creciente aparición de edificaciones alrededor de la feria artesanal histórica; con la venta y exposición de piezas del arte plástico, gastronomía, negocios de diseñadores cordobeses y hasta la inclusión de la idea del del “desarrollo sustentable” en los techos de las galerías. La modificación del corpus normativo, la aparición de edificación en altura y el boom económico tuvieron como resultado, la valorización del suelo urbano, la retroalimentación en el espacio con el emplazamiento de nuevas actividades comerciales y servicios culturales. A la par, en el espacio barrial se presentan nuevos residentes con otros hábitos y prácticas que ponen en disputa los modos de habitar en el espacio. A riesgo de simplificar, estas transformaciones fueron producto de los cambios políticoideológicos, de los modelos e instrumentos de gestión urbana puestos en juego en los diversos momentos históricos y de las propias prácticas sociales y culturales de los habitantes. De esta manera, se centrará la mirada analítica en las transformaciones de las prácticas del habitar de los pobladores de los Barrios Güemes, en el marco de la metamorfosis del espacio urbano (atravesado por tendencias de mediatización y mercantilización de la experiencia) que conjugó un proceso de intersección y asociatividad entre políticas públicas y expansión inmobiliaria. N2 - This work is part of the field of urban studies and proposes as structuring axes the intersection between public policies, the neighborhood and the inhabit practices (de Certeau, 1996, 1999; Gravano, 2003) in the framework of the transformations of the urban space in the pericentral neighborhoods, also known as traditional neighborhoods in the city of Córdoba, particularly what happened in Barrio Güemes, during the period 2010-2016. The purpose of the approach is inscribed in knowing and making generalizable contributions to the understanding of the inhabit practices as a unit of analysis. In this framework, the research problem is formulated in the following question: how are living practices modified in the framework of urban transformations, in a capitalist mode of production? The practices are understood as elementary actions of the "arts of doing" that ordinary people implement in their daily lives: to circulate, to cook, to work, to connect. Also, through them they resignify the spaces, give them an assessment (positive or negative), identify themselves as part of the identity and, in turn, recognize places of (dis) encounter and circulation path. For this approach, the case of Güemes neighborhood is taken as a unit of study. The spatial (or physical) clipping of the empirical work is located in the city of Córdoba, and is located on the periphery of the central area. This location allows us to understand the emergence of the first urban expansions as a consequence of demographic growth and how these were transformed into the first neighborhoods. The temporary cut is delimited between the years 2000 and 2016, intentionally supported by two significant events: the population census (2001) and the celebration of the Bicentenario de la Independencia de Argentina (Bicentennial of Independence in Argentina). The changes materialized in certain urban spaces, both in Latin American cities (Buenos Aires, Salvador de Bahía in Brazil, Mexico City, etc.) and in other parts of the world (New Orleans in the United States, the district of Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain in Berlin, the port of Hamburg in Germany, etc.) demonstrate how these spaces are transformed according to the capitalist mode of reproduction. Since these were spaces that at some point fulfilled hierarchical economic- social functions and later, due to the very dynamics of capitalism, the over-accumulation, they stopped being profitable and became “obsolete” spaces. In this sense, the omission of public and / or private actions, the neglect and growth of conflictive social situations (crime, insecurity, degradation) in these spaces, works as an argument for local governments to start planning the future and modernizing them. In this way, urban policies are proposed with the aim of promoting renovation or rehabilitation actions to economically boost certain sectors. Two discursive elements appear as enablers of the urban renewal process: tourism and patrimony. In this sense, under the patrimonial recovery of certain places, the territories are made more dynamic, so that tourism becomes an economic tool that produces an excess of surplus value. The punt in value of tangible and intangible assets attracts the influx of visitors and, at the same time, is economically profitable. However, projects often take into account morphological and physical variables, leaving in the background the impact on the nearby space and the relationships between the inhabitants and their territory. Currently the spaces chosen by the municipalities and for public and/or private intervention are the neighborhoods, since they are spaces close to the center and considered strategic. In general, the argument is the need to rehabilitate or renovate little-used or degraded areas in order to improve the quality of life of the population and boost the sector (Brites, 2017; Guevara, 2012). Since the 2000s, the neighborhood has witnessed an unusual growth process. The number of craftsmen skyrocketed and the variety of products offered, the businesses that are part of the commercial, gastronomic and cultural offer of the neighborhood emerged. For several years, it has introduced new economic actors that can be observed in the opening of commercial galleries; located on the axis of the streets Belgrano, Achával Rodríguez, Fructuoso Rivera and the growing appearance of buildings around the historic artisan fair; where it is sold and exhibited different pieces of plastic art, gastronomy, businesses of cordobes designers and even the inclusion of the idea of "sustainable development" in the ceilings of the galleries. The modification of the normative corpus, the appearance of high-rise buildings and the economic boom resulted in: the valorization of urban land, feedback in space with the location of new commercial activities and cultural services. At the same time, new residents appeared in the neighborhood space with other habits and practices that dispute the ways of living in the place. At the risk of simplification, these transformations were the product of the political-ideological changes, of the urban management models and instruments put into play in the various historical moments, and of the inhabitants' own social and cultural practices. In this way, the analytical look will focus on the transformations of the inhabitat practices of the residents of the Güemes neighbourhood, within the framework of the metamorphosis of the urban space (crossed by tendencies of mediatization and commercialization of the experience) that combined a process of intersection and associativity between public policies and real estate expansion.

Ob CCTV-Systeme, Biometrie oder Data Mining – unsere Gesellschaft befindet sich in einem ständigen Überwachungsmodus, der sich weit über einen begrenzten Raum oder zeitlichen Rahmen hinausstreckt. Überwacht wird überall: privat, am Arbeitsplatz oder im Cyberspace, und alles: Interaktionen, Äußerungen, Verhalten. Es werden Unmengen von Daten gesammelt, strukturiert, kombiniert, gekauft und verkauft. Dieser Modus stellt mehr als eine bloße Neuauflage des Bentham-Foucaultschen Panoptikons dar: der aktuelle Überwachungsmodus, die informationelle Asymmetrie als ihren tragenden Pfeiler beibehaltend, dient nicht nur der Disziplinierung, sondern viel mehr der Kontrolle, die nicht primär negativ-sanktionierend, sondern positiv-leistungssteigernd wirkt: es ist nicht das Ziel, die Individuen zu bestrafen und ein bestimmtes Verhalten zu verbieten, sondern sie durch Belohnung, Interaktion und spielerische Elemente dazu zu bringen, sich auf die gewünschte Art zu verhalten und im Endeffekt sich selbst zu überwachen. Die Kontrolle wird auf diese Weise zum zentralen Schauplatz der Machtausübung, die sich über das Beobachten, Speichern, Auswerten und Sortieren vollzieht. Diese Prozesse hinterlassen keinen Frei- oder Spielraum für Ambiguität; sie verwirklichen die Diktatur der klaren Kante, der Klassifizierung und Kategorisierung ohne Schattierungen.

Sie fungiert nicht mehr unter dem Signum einer pseudosakralen zentralen Instanz, sondern wird durch diverse Akteure und Assemblages kolportiert. Die durch sie implizierten Praktiken der Selbstkontrolle, kulturgeschichtlich ebenfalls religiös oder zumindest philosophisch konnotiert, sind die neuen Rituale des Sehens und Gesehen-Werdens. Im Zeitalter der elektronischen Datentechnologien gibt es diverse Agenten der Überwachung. Vom besonderen Interesse sind dabei die Wearables, weil sie intim, affektiv und haptisch arbeiten und so, über das Sehen und Gesehen-Werden hinaus, das Berühren und Berührt-Werden und somit die Neuregulierung von Nähe und Distanz ins Spiel bringen. Sie schreiben sich zwar in eine Vermessungstradition eins, die ihre Ursprünge mindestens im 19. Jahrhundert hat, unterscheiden sich aber von dieser in ihrer Intensität und Sinnlichkeit.

Der erste Teil der Arbeit widmet sich Denkmalen und der Denkmalpflege im Kontext künstlerischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Allianzen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Feststellung, dass die Denkmalpflege zwar sehr vieles über Denkmale weiß, aber kaum etwas über deren Rezeption beim breiten Publikum. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie hier Praktiken der bildenden Kunst und Arbeitsweisen der Kulturanthropologie die Disziplin der Denkmalpflege bereichern können, oder sogar müssen. Den zweiten Teil bildet eine empirische Studie, in der die populäre Wahrnehmung von Denkmalen qualitativ erforscht wird. Das Schloss und Rittergut Bedheim im südlichen ländlichen Thüringen dient dabei als konkreter Untersuchungsort. Reaktionen von Besucherinnen und Besuchern werden mit Hilfe von drei künstlerischen Eingriffen angeregt und diese dann ethnographisch-offen dokumentiert und ausgewertet. Auf dieser Basis werden Zugänge zum Denkmal ermittelt. Während die meisten BesucherInnen das Denkmal als „Arbeit“ wahrnehmen, geraten einige ins „Träumen“ oder „Erinnern“, man „genießt“ das Ensemble als authentische und ästhetische Ressource, oder findet Zugang über das spontane „Erklären“ baukonstruktiver oder baulicher Situationen. Für andere bedeutet der Besuch die „Teilhabe“ an einem Prozess. Schloss Bedheim wird als Ort stetiger Veränderung geschätzt. In der Wahrnehmung der BesucherInnen verquicken sich Aspekte des Bewunderns mit solchen des Abgrenzens. Die eigene Alltagswelt und das eigene Zuhause bilden hierbei Bezugspunkte. Schloss Bedheim wird auf diese Weise zum Imaginationsraum, zur Energietankstelle und zur gern besuchten Problemwelt. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit liegen in zwei Erkenntnisfeldern: Auf einer methodischen Ebene zeigt sie, wie in der Denkmalpflege vertiefte Fachlichkeit mit einer tatsächlichen Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Publikum verbunden werden kann und damit soziale Gefüge an Baudenkmalen qualitativ ermittelt werden können. Ebenso wird deutlich, dass künstlerische Eingriffe Auslöser von Gesprächen sind, als Kontaktflächen zur Alltagswelt dienen und so zu einer vielfältigen Auseinandersetzung mit Denkmalen führen. Auf einer inhaltlichen Ebene liefert die Arbeit Erkenntnisse zu Wahrnehmungsweisen von Denkmalen. Neben den erwähnten Zugängen, wird die Existenz und Bedeutung einer regional vernetzten Wahrnehmung von Denkmalen aufgedeckt. Des Weiteren zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass das Öffnen von Baudenkmalen als und im Prozess ungenutzte Potentiale birgt und es wird angeregt, dies in zukünftigen denkmalpflegerischen Konzepten eine größere Rolle spielen zu lassen. Die Vision eines „Kompendiums der Zugänge“ wird entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe sich ein enormes Wissen über Rollen und Bedeutungen die Baudenkmale in unserer Gesellschaft spielen, sammeln ließe.

While former state socialist housing estates have been extensively researched in the field of architecture, urban and sociology studies, there is still a gap in identifying how production processes affect morphological changes during the post-socialist era. This thesis compares the processes in the production of the largest housing estates of Marzahn in GDR and Petržalka in Czechoslovakia from 1970 to 1989 through contextual analysis of primary and secondary sources, which include visual maps, diagrams from professional architecture and planning journals, government documents and textbooks, as well as academic journals, books and newspaper articles. Then it discusses how these processes inadvertently created conducive conditions affecting their development in the market economy after 1989. It then interprets the results through application of Actor-Network Theory and Historical Institutionalism, while conceptualising them through David Harvey’s dialectical utopianism theory. Harvey (2000) delineates two types of utopia, one of spatial form and one of process. The former refers to materialised ideals in physical forms whereas the latter refers to the ongoing process of spatializing. The thesis aims to show how the production of Marzahn in GDR was more path dependent on policies established in 1950s and 1960s whereas Petržalka was a product of new Czechoslovakian policies in 1970s, changing aspects of the urban planning process, a manifestation of a more emphatic technocratic thinking on a wider scale. This ultimately influences the trajectories of development after 1989, showing more effects in Petržalka.

The main aim of this thesis is to reveal ‘the process of totalitarian city making in Pyongyang’, especially in the light of the interaction between the power and urban space. The totalitarian city of Pyongyang was born out of modernization in the process of masses formation. During the growth of colonial capitalism and Christian liberal ideas, Pyongyang was modernized and displayed the characteristics of a modern city with industrialization and urbanization. During the introduction of Japanese colonial capitalism, peasants, women, and slaves became the first masses and urban poor, and they later transformed into the mob; their violence was finally demonstrated during the Anti-Chinese Riot. After the 1945 independence, Kim’s regime formed the one-party state with a cry for revolution. They produced an atmosphere of imminent war to instill fear and hatred into the psyche of Pyongyang citizens. The regime eliminated all political opponents in 1967 and finally declared the totalitarian ideology in 1974. During this process, Pyongyang demonstrated two main characteristics of a totalitarian city: the space of terror and of ideology. The space of terror produces the fear of death and the space of ideology controls the thought and life of citizens. After entry to the market, to keep Kim’s controlling power, the regime used the strategy of location exchange. The camp, market, and Foreign Currency Shop were effective tools to prepare for executives’ gifts. However, the market also produces the desire not only for consumption but also for freedom and truth; it is tearing down the foundation of the totalitarian city of Pyongyang. This research focuses primarily on the interaction between political power and urban space. In the process of making a totalitarian city, the power produced urban space and it influenced the psyche of Pyongyang citizens. Even though this spatial transition has created the totalitarian city and helped maintain political power, it also led and produced intended or unintended social variation in Pyongyang society.

I argue that architectural heritage is a medium where specific cultural and social decisions form its way of presentation, and it reflects the values and interests of the period. By the process of remembering and forgetting, the meanings between inhabitant and object in urban environment are practiced, and the meanings are created. To enable the research in narrative observation, cultural tourism management is chosen as the main research object, which reflects the alteration of interaction between the architectural heritage and urban identity. Identifying the role of heritage management, the definition of social resilience and the prospects of cultural heritage as a means of social resilience are addressed. Case region of the research is East Ger- many, thereby, the study examines the distinct approaches and objectives regarding heritage management under the different political systems along the German reunification process. The framework is based on various theoretical paradigms to investigate the broad research questions: 1) What is the role of historic urban quarters in the revitalisation of East German towns? 2) How was the transition processed by cultural heritage management? 3) How did policy affect residents’ lives? The case study is applied to macro level (city level: Gotha and Eisenach) and micro level study (object level: specific heritage sites), to analyse the performance of selective remembering and making tourist destination through giving significance to specific heritage. By means of site observations, archival research, qualitative inter- views, photographs, and discourse analysis on printed tourism materials, the study demonstrates that certain sites and characteristics of the city enable creating and focusing messages, which aids the social resilience. Combining theory and empirical studies this thesis attempts to widen the academic discussion regarding the practice of remembering and forgetting driven by cultural heritage. The thesis argues for cultural heritage tourism as an element of social resilience and one that embraces the historic and cultural identity of the inhabitants.

MILITARY PROPERTY AS REFERENCE N2 - The thesis concerns a work of urban history intended not to describe the city but rather to interpret it. By doing so, I have interpreted the city by means of the role played by the so-called ‘great property’ in the European city-making process during the last three decades of the 20th century, specifically focused on the concrete case of military properties in Italy. I have also considered the role played by other kinds of great properties, i.e. industries and railway, which previously acted in the production of the built environment in a different way respect to the military one. As all of them have as common denominator the fact of being ‘capital in land’, I analysed great industrial and railway properties in order to extrapolate a methodology which helped me to interpret the relationship between military properties and city-making process in Europe in the late 20th century. I have analysed the relationship between the capital in land and the city-making process on the ground of the understanding the interrelation between the great property, the urban development, and the agents involved in the urban and territorial planning. Here I have showed that urban planning is not the decisive factor influencing the citymaking process, but instead the power held by the capital in land. I have found that is the great property the trigger of the creation of new ‘areas of centrality’ intended as large areas for consumerism. As far as the role played by great property is concerned, I have also discovered that it has evolved over time. Originally, industrial and railway properties have been regenerated into a wide range of new profit-driven spaces; successively, I have found out that most of the regeneration of military premises aimed to materialise areas of centrality. The way of interpreting this factor has been based on focusing my attention on the military premises in Italy: I have classified their typology when they have been built and, most importantly, when they have been regenerated into new areas of centrality.

Exploratory research of strategies used to create acoustic experiences of commemoration, remembrance, mourning and memory N2 - This research seeks to make an exploratory study of the strategies used by the creators of monuments, memorials, and commemorative places located in the public spaces that use sound as one of the primary raw material in their design. The term acoustic monu-memorials was coined in this research to encircle these structures and places. In order to achieve the goal of this research, it was necessary to compile a number of samples, primarily after the digital recording era of captured sound around 1971 to the present. The compilation was relevant because such a compendium was not found in the literature, and to the author's knowledge, a comprehensive investigation of the strategies used in planning acoustic monu-memorials in the urban spaces does not exist. The method used to create such compendium was to send a question to people with different background identities, such as visual and sound artists, musicians, art curators, and heritage scholars among others. This question produced a selection of 51 examples of acoustic monu-memorials located in public spaces. Subsequently, the examples were classified into four major categories according to their form and nature. Additionally, two examples from the main categories were chosen as case studies: The Sinti and Roma Memorial in Berlin, Germany and the Niche monument in Cali, Colombia. These study cases were presented, described, and analysed in detail as they represent the type of what could be defined as an acoustic monu-memorial in general. Lynch’s (1960) five elements that help individuals build the image of the city were transferred and used as a tool to help to build this image into acoustic terms. A thorough analysis of the acquired data yielded found the strategies used by the designers to shape, modify, transform, and structure public space. These strategies are entitled Sound Spaces. Moreover, a list entitled Urban Acoustic Commemoration Code was compiled. This list of suggestions addresses urban planners, architects, artists, designers, and general public interested in the aspects involved when creating acoustic commemoration phenomena in public spaces.

In approaching this process, the research investigates the media discourse based on representations of fashion by cities and of cities by fashion. Moreover, this research focuses on fashion understood as a multidimensional phenomenon that aims to provide an explanation of urban spaces through fashion terms, actions, and garments. Additionally, cities are considered from the cultural geography approach that highlights the cultural component of urban spaces expressed in social and cultural practices in physical reality. Following this idea, it is suggested here that fashion today not only participates in the urban life as its significant component but also creates city images and representations of urban lifestyle through the fashion paradigm. In other words, fashion redefines urban spaces; at the same time, urban spaces are interpreted as a stage for fashion processes. By integrating in social research the fields of urban studies and fashion studies, this dissertation offers the discussion considering the fashion phenomenon not only as an urban phenomenon of modern reality. On the one hand, such discussion concerns the re-conceptualization of urban phenomena by the fashion influence; on the other hand, it relates the re-contextualization of fashion in a city. The empirical focus is based on the media context of fashion magazines in which variety of possibilities to represent fashion and cities lead to promising interpretations and analysis. The idea of representation specifies the ways of constructing the notion of urban space as fashionable space and the notion of fashion as placed in the urban context.

Als theoretische Basis dieser Abhandlung fungiert die Heterotopie – ein Konzept des französischen Philosophen Michel Foucault. Die Heterotopie ist ein inflationär gebrauchtes, oft nur oberflächlich betrachtetes Theorem. Das Konzept wird hier nun mit Blick auf das Gesamtwerk Foucaults en détail untersucht sowie um korrelierende Ansätze (Augé, Lefebvre, Soja ...) ergänzt. Aus dieser Betrachtung lässt sich ein über Foucault hinausgehender, analytisch nutzbarer Katalog ableiten. Verkürzt wird die Heterotopie folgendermaßen bestimmt: Neben der Definition der Heterotopie als Raum des Anderen, als (gesellschaftskritischer) Gegenraum kann sie dem wie auch immer bestimmten Normalraum unterstellt sein. Die Heterotopie ist möglicherweise eine bauliche Manifestation schwarz-weißen Denkens, von Ausgrenzung und sichtbarer Unsichtbarkeit, sie wird zur Realisation wie auch immer definierter Ideale oder Stereotypen. Die Heterotopie ist allerdings auch als ein (hybrides) Dazwischen denkbar, welches sich als katalytischer Raum, im dialektischen Sinne als Ort der Synthese äußert. Es könnte als Niemandsland oder als Phase (im Leben) charakterisiert werden. Analog zum letzten Beispiel lässt sich die Heterotopie als progressiv-seriell beschreiben. Ihre stagnierend bis variierende Serialität kann sich im Betreten identischer Räume äußern – mal als verlässlich oder ermüdend empfunden. Nicht nur die einem entsprechenden Raum entgegengebrachten Konnotationen sind vielfältig bis ambivalent, die Heterotopie ist neben real-räumlicher auch virtueller Fasson: Betonmauer finden bisweilen eine Entsprechung im einfachen Harmoniefernsehen. Einander heterotop gegenüberstehenden Räumen wird etwa mit der Figur Walter White in der komplexen Fernsehserie "Breaking Bad" entsprochen – ist er doch hin und her gerissen zwischen seiner biederen, aber geliebten Familie einerseits und der abstoßend gewalttätigen, aber extrovertierende Potentiale bergenden Drogenproduktion andererseits. Die sogenannte Leihkörperschaft bzw. die Immersion lassen sich zur Beschreibung verschiedener Heterotopie-Erfahrungen nutzen. Dieses Eintauchen/Betreten wird hier als Rezeptionsphänomen zwischen sensomotorischer Illusion und inhaltlich-narrativem Sog, zw. Fixierung des Körpers und Einbezug desselbigen definiert. Die beiden Untersuchungsfelder werden jeweils für sich historisch und theoretisch umrissen. Zum noch jungen Feld serieller Theorie/der Definition narrativer Typen (im TV bzw. dem Qualitätsfernsehen) wird ein einführender Überblick geboten. Die praktischen Arbeiten setzen sich ästhetisch, narrativ und inhaltlich mit der Heterotopie auseinander: In "Habitat" und "Habitat 2" werden serielle Konzepte audiovisuell (u. a. als Fulldome-Version) erprobt. Dabei wird insbesondere das Heterotope im Konzept "Autor" untersucht – der Autor als distinkte und gleichsam konfliktbehaftete, in zahlreiche Subjekte zerlegte Figur. "Habitat 3" ist ein Publikationskonzept, welches mit etablierten (heterotopen) Strukturen des Sammelbands bricht und zugleich die heterotopen Facetten des fiktionalen Fernsehens simuliert. Band I beinhaltet sowohl den theoretischen Teil der Promotion als auch die Erläuterung der praktischen Arbeiten. Band II ermöglicht einen Einblick in die konzeptionellen Prozesse hinter den drei künstlerischen Projekten.

Case Study: Pathok Negoro Area in Yogyakarta, Indonesia N2 - Settlement is human place to live and do various activities (Finch, 1980). Concept of settlement layout is closely associated with human and a set of thoughts and behaviors. In this case, idea of pattern of activities in a society that is core of a culture becomes main factor in process of formation of houses and environment in a settlement. Factors which affecting form (physical) of architecture in a settlement environment are socio-cultural, economic, and religious determinant factor that manifested architectural realization (Rapoport, 1969). Yogyakarta as the continuation of kingdom city in the Java Island finally exists as an Islamic kingdom that still remain to survive up to now. Impacts of this issue is appearance of various Moslem settlements to support typical character of an Islamic Kingdom. Mlangi is an area of oldest Moslem settlements in Yogyakarta has not been explored in details for progress especially in physical glasses recently. Everything basic group and individual who arrange houses and residences, starts from how it has spatial concept alone. Although concept is a very abstract thing to explain in details, but its existence can be detected by how they created their physical environment. This research conducted by these research questions: (1) What are spatial concepts owned by people in Mlangi and (2) How do spatial concepts owned by the people affect the settlements pattern? Process to search spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem residence, making Mlangi as study area, was approached by using phenomenological research method. The researcher have to self-involved directly in unstructured interviews, but remained in guideline framework of in interviews to make research process effective. Fistly, the researcher interviewed the key person, they are the head of Mlangi administration (pak Dukuh) in Mlangi and Sawahan. They were then give advices to who was capable person that could draw the spatial concept and had many story and knew the history of the settlements. Step by step of interview guided from one informant to next informant when the information had been told repeatedly. The next informant based on the last informant advice or who had close relationship with the last theme appeared. To complete the narration and draw the result of interview, researcher have to add additional information with photograph and descriptive picture that can be draw the settlement empirically. In process, 17 information units which found in field were consistent with sequence of interview events and flowing of theme to theme associated with Moslem residence of residence. Finally the interviews succeeded in abstracting 16 themes that may be classified into historic, socio-cultural, and spatial-concept dimensions in Mlangi. Process of analysis to find spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem settlements was carried out by dialogue of themes to find available substantive relationship. Four concepts successfully analyzed consist of concepts of personage, concept of religious implementation, concept of Jero-Jaba and concept of Interest. The four concepts are really associated with one and others in understanding how spatial concept owned by the people affects residence they occupy. Yet, concept of Jero-Jaba bases all concepts of people in Mlangi . This concept can be used to draw red yarn on how they utilize communal spaces in residence and layout rooms of their individual houses. This concept also eternalize residence patterns existing in Mlangi now where residence does not experience many changes from starting of this residence existence (from detection of generation currently still living), namely residence patterns concentrate on orientation to Masjid Pathok Negoro of Mlangi. This research was opening the potential research area, at least for the sociology, anthropology and demography research interest. So many unique character in Mlangi if looked at from how they maintain their spatial concept and manifested in their daily activities. How the people will concern only for the religious activities and the economic concern only for survival aspect in live.

More and more it is accepted that the conventional approach towards providing sanitation services is not suitable to solve this problem. This dissertation examines the possibility to enhance “access to sanitation” for people who are living in areas with underdeveloped water and wastewater infrastructure systems. The idea hereby is to follow an integrated approach for sanitation, which allows for a mutual completion of existing infrastructure with resource-based sanitation systems. The notion “integrated sanitation system (iSaS)” is defined in this work and guiding principles for iSaS are formulated. Further on the implementation of iSaS is assessed at the example of a case study in the city of Darkhan in Mongolia. More than half of Mongolia’s population live in settlements where yurts (tents of Nomadic people) are predominant. In these settlements (or “ger areas”) sanitation systems are not existent and the hygienic situation is precarious. An iSaS has been developed for the ger areas in Darkhan and tested over more than two years. Further on a software-based model has been developed with the goal to describe and assess different variations of the iSaS. The results of the assessment of material-flows, monetary-flows and communication-flows within the iSaS are presented in this dissertation. The iSaS model is adaptable and transferable to the socio-economic conditions in other regions and climate zones. N2 - Die Weltgesellschaft steht der großen Herausforderung gegenüber das Menschrecht auf Zugang zu Sanitärversorgung umzusetzen. Es wird zunehmend akzeptiert, dass konventionelle Ansätze der Abwasserwirtschaft dieses Problem nicht lösen können. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die Möglichkeit eines integrierten Ansatzes, welcher Stoffflüsse, Geldflüsse und Kommunikationsflüsse gemeinsam betrachtet und komplementär zu existierenden Infrastruktursystemen angewendet werden kann. Der Begriff „integriertes Sanitärsystem (iSaS)“ wird definiert und anhand eines Fallbeispiels in der Stadt Darkhan in der Mongolei untersucht. Hierbei wurde ein Sanitärsystem für Jurtensiedlungen erarbeitet, pilothaft umgesetzt und über 2 Jahre betrieben. Weiterhin wurde ein software- basiertes Modell anhand der Prinzipien von iSaS entwickelt und verschiedene Variationen des Systems untersucht und diskutiert. Das Modell kann an die klimatischen und sozioökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen in anderen Regionen der Welt angepasst werden und damit die potentielle Umsetzung von iSaS unterstützen.

Localization and Commoditization process of Urban Tourism. Study case Palembang Indonesia N2 - This research addresses the discourse of tourism as a tool for place-making of urban destination. Relevant to the study of place-making is the analysis of the commoditization and localization process dependent upon the appropriation of urban landscape and local cultures. In the research, localization is interpreted as the act of determining the attributes of locality, while commoditization is defined as the process by which local attributes that have commercial potential end up in becoming tourism commodity. Following this, the commoditization of intrinsic cultural value is disseminated within a branding strategy and intervention reflecting social and political relations. Therefore, the research suggests that tourism place-making has not only been constructed through the top-down regulatory body, but has been also generated through the attributes of its locality. By utilizing the critical and constructivist paradigm, the research depicts the conditions of the localization and commoditization process in establishing the base line of its realization within the symbolic economy. Thus, a qualitative case study approach was adopted. The study area of this dissertation is Palembang, as one of the capital cities in Indonesia advancing in its overall urban development. To investigate urban tourism as a tool for development strategy, it is useful to investigate the role of tourism which embodies (1) spatial transformation; how tourism gives significant impacts on urban form, and (2) the socio-cultural aspect; how neighbourhood is related to tourism industry. The findings suggest that tourism place-making involves the reciprocity of urban dynamics: cities take on tourism as a reference model of development, and tourist areas adopt the proliferation of cultural lifestyle to meet the industry’s demands.

Due to corruption, mafia, and further malpractice, this form of development has occasionally failed, producing a high number of constructions that have remained unfinished for decades. In 2007, the group of artists Alterazioni Video constructed an informal survey in the form of an on-line tool open to public contributions, which revealed that there are 395 unfinished public works in Italy from which 156, approximately 39.5%, are located in Sicily alone. In view of such a statistic, Alterazioni Video opted to coin the term ‘Incompiuto Siciliano’ – literally ‘Sicilian Incompletion’ – to refer to unfinished public works as a formal architectural style. This re-interpretation, which aims to convey the recovered dignity of these ‘modern ruins’, considers unfinished public works a type of heritage with the potential to represent the entirety of Italian society. Furthermore, it goes as far as to say an unfinished public work is ‘Incompiuto Siciliano’ despite being located in another of the Italian regions. This doctoral dissertation embraces the artists’ argument to develop a complete study of Incompiuto Siciliano by embedding this architectural style/artistic project within the main debates on modern ruins at present. This is important because it is expected to contribute to the revalorization and eventual recommissioning of unfinished sites by validating Incompiuto Siciliano in the realm of academia. Furthermore, this work aspires to be a worthwhile source of information for future investigations dealing with cultural interpretations of incompletion in any other context – a not unreasonable goal considering how unfinished works are one of the key urban topics after the 2008 financial crisis. Hence, this doctoral dissertation uses Incompiuto Siciliano to discuss a different perspective in each of the five chapters and, though these can be read as independent contributions, the objective is that all chapters read together, form a clear, concise, continuous unit. And so it must be said this is not a dissertation about unfinished public works in Italy; this is a dissertation about Incompiuto Siciliano as an artistic response to unfinished public works in Italy – which clearly requires an interdisciplinary analysis involving Urban Studies, Cultural Geography, Contemporary Archaeology, Critical Heritage and Visual Arts.

Two factors need careful consideration in order to achieve a balance in the management of such sites: the conservation demands of conservation experts for built heritage and the needs of local people for development of their heritage living space. The complexity of factors involved make for an interesting study of living heritage, taken up by this research in its main case study of the town of Nan in Thailand. Research into the historical background of Nan and its cultural heritage reveals a living heritage site, which is both unique and diverse. Present day Nan was examined using a variety of analysis tools, which were applied to data from interviews, empirical data, field surveys, and documents, in order to better understand the nature of the living heritage site and changing trends over time. Luang Prabang in Lao PDR, a World Heritage site since 1995, was also selected as a further case study with which to compare Nan’s potential World Heritage status from a point of view of changes to living heritage attributes. The outcomes of the research indicate the importance of the management of the sites, which can be at risk of losing balance by focusing on one aspect of heritage to the detriment of the other. The conservation perspective, if allowed to dominate, as in Luang Prabang, can cause irreparable damage to the social fabric, where the development needs of the town are not met. This research concludes that a balance of power amongst stakeholders in the collaborative networks managing such sites is vital to sustaining a balance of living heritage attributes.

In approaching this phenomenon, the research highlights how people interact with their institutional environments. This is also, perhaps centrally, an investigation into the possibility to engage an individual perspective to understand the transformation in urban experience, which is orienting society to new uses and forms of exclusion. Following the perspective deployed by the so-called “sociology of individuals” in French sociology or “reengagement of agency” in the Anglo-Saxon world; I claim that individuals as well as collectives are gaining increasing power to question and re-organize institutions. This re-organization, in the case of socio-urban institutions, is no guarantee for major levels in integration, cohesion, and equality. Unfortunately, social institutions are becoming hard in its exclusionary capabilities under people intervention during the last four decades. I believe that urban sociology is a field of struggle between different perspectives competing to “make sense” of social phenomena in cities. The orientation supported in this research is just one on many and it follows the roots of people and their life experiences within cities and how they influence the processes that shape the city. The last formulation is possibly not the clearest, because as we all know, references to “inhabitants” are presented in every variant of urban sociology. Nevertheless, there are not many variants focusing on peoples’ capability to influence institutional environments and by this way affecting the urban condition in which they find themselves. The particular institution selected for this study is the “School”. This thesis is organized around two parts: part one includes the conceptual framework, methodological approach, and historical contextualization; part two describes three case studies produced to analyse the forms of and the relations between individuals and school institution. Part one starts from a premise: within the context of declining welfare State in the case of industrialized countries, an important part of urban studies focuses on economic and spatial restructuration. Confronted with the same situation, a part of social sciences shifts to the individuals’ agency and social uncertainty. This research is embedded in the last theoretical description presented above, thus, because it tries to observe urban processes from the perspective of the individual and outside of developed economies. In this sense, Latin America represents a fundamental reference because urban conditions are historically marked by weak institutional arrangements to integrating people and large levels of marginality and exclusion among population. In this scenario individuals’ practices around inclusion-exclusion have an essential meaning in everyday life. Part two offers three study cases in which the relation between individuals and school institutions has been analyzed for the Metropolitan area of Santiago de Chile (MAS). Using different methodological resources an exhaustive account on three levels is presented: i) geo-referencing State intervention in public policies connected with neighborhood and schools to understand the form and extent of socio-urban exclusion in MAS, ii) narrative biographies applied to parents with children attending primary school, in order to reconstruct the familiar process of school selection and describing its impacts on the stabilization of school as an exclusionary device, and iii) autoethnography to describe in detail the temporal dimension involved in stabilizing actions which reinforces social mechanisms of urban integration-exclusion during the last three decades in Chile. A key argument advanced by this research proposes that: the way in which the idea of integration is enacted by people in their biographical careers imprints changes on the institutional orientation and by this way, contributes to the reorganization urban life. The high level of social exclusion in Santiago de Chile is not accountable without considering transformation in all socio-urban institutions, especially the school. No family considers social integration with people from a low social, economical or cultural background as relevant orientation for school selection. This particularity of the Chilean social reality is not derivable from any big capitalistic or modernization processes impacting our cities. Within the light of the thesis findings, I conclude that socio-urban institutions logics must be reassessment under the influences of people actions and representations. I also propose a consideration to major complementarities between urban studies and urban-institutions analysis. The school institutions is not just a sectorial field reserved to the researcher in education, on the contrary, it represent a key entrance to address people’s experience in their institutional urban environments. The re-emergence of social and urban movements in 2010, under the “Arab Spring” or the “Chilean Student Movements”, is not only a demonstration in the public space as result of major global trends. These situations are in essence, for this research, individuals gathering together and calling for recognition and autonomy inside institutional environment that tends to reject them. Similar situation was the focus of the Latin American urban sociology research, within the focus on grassroots and urban social movements at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. In both cases, socio-urban institutions, unaware of recognition requirements claimed by inhabitants, are not beyond individual or collective reach. My main concern is to show that socio-urban institutions are constantly re-shaped as a result of individual action, what makes the difference, is the spirit that we all, socially, imprint on the logics of our socio-urban institutions, moving them to inclusion or exclusion.

Resting upon the basis of traditional continent philosophy, this social space theory has adopted the structuration methods, at the same time trying to build certain combination between theoretical frame work establishment and empirical observations. Therefore, the socio-spatial transition study is neither a macro theory of traditional structuralism nor a typology of urban planning theory, or a positivism social geography, but an operative theory on practical purpose. Firstly, what’s distinct from the traditional structuralism is that this study examines the endless transiting structural relations, not macroscopic narrations of absolute definition and structure. In fact, any city and space are always co-existed in their structurational transiting relationship, thus research in transition has become the main body of this study. And case study is a must for research in transition, as part of efforts to apply the structuration concept into practice reason. Secondly, this study first establishes the fundamental structuration concept of socio-spatial transition, which, as an operative tool, is applied to conduct transition analysis on specific case about the City of Beijing. Therefore, as a social space theory, referring to as science, remains criticism of traditional continent philosophy. However, this criticism did not working on the level of ideology or conceptions, but on transiting under structural relations, keeping it from incompetent ideology criticism of continental critical theory. Unfortunately contemporary urban and space development have now gone extremely unbalanced under a background of globalization; yet traditional macro theories are incapable of either producing significant impact on practice or helping people identify practical problems. While facing general issues, particularly the Chinese urban issue category established on a meta-structured city mode, the micro-case study has plunged into dilemma for unknowing either to ask questions or to answer questions. Therefore, this study is set to identify dilemma and find direction for future relevant research. In this dissertation, Beijing is used as a model, and structuration methods as tools. It has extensively analyzed the social-spatial transition of the city space of Beijing, acquiring brand-new knowledge of its urban space development. It is helpful to an in-depth understanding of the city space development not only in Beijing, but also in many other cities that were influenced by the capital model of Beijing. Since the start of reform and opening-up, China has created a unique development mode of the new-styled metropolitan and urbanization in history. This research is expected to analyze or decode what China’s urban development in between communal space and associative space.

Die Kunst der Partizipation wird in fünf Dimensionen beschrieben: Initiative, Kollektivität, Inszenierung, Öffentlichkeit und Kooperation. Sie erweitert damit das Repertoire demokratischer Beteiligungsformen sowie gegenwärtige Kunstbegriffe. Ihre heimliche Relevanz besteht darin, sich immer wieder dem Risiko auszusetzen, von allen Seiten als unzureichend betrachtet zu werden. Demokratie konstituiert sich hier als ästhetische Erfahrung.

Environmental Governance in Different Capitalist Schemes: Germany and the United Kingdom. N2 - This research represents an effort made towards contribute to the critical thinking from an analysis of the hegemonic neoliberal ideology, which supports the idea of the end of history and the technocratic universalism which in turn implies the imposition of a single model of life, denying, in the name of realism and the end of utopias, any other alternative possibility. This makes it necessary to recover the critical thinking to analyze and understand the reality, thus overcoming the ideological barrier towards claiming that things can be otherwise. It is clear from this research that the discourse of sustainable development has unquestionably transformed the context and content of political activity in Europe. This discourse has exercised and obvious influence in the Governance processes, mainly because it has contributed to the introduction of a new political field, which was then promoted, either explicitly or implicitly by policy-makers, researchers on the field and practitioners during the last three decades. Though it may be bold to affirm that the discourse of sustainable development is the sole driver of these whole set of changes, there is no doubt that it has played a key part in the way in which the governance priorities have been handled in the European continent.

The Term in the context of urban development in Poland N2 - The aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate whether the German term “shrinking city” is appropriate to depopulating Polish cities. In order to do so an attempt to define the currently still vague notion of “shrinking city” was made. The urban development of Eastern Germany was thoroughly examined both in a short term perspective and in a wide historical as well as international context, with the Polish urban development used as reference. 25 cities (kreisfreie Städte) in Eastern Germany and depopulating Polish cities: Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia were chosen as case studies. On the basis of the gathered information a “shrinking city” in Eastern Germany was defined as a city with a long-lasting population decrease coupled with over-dimensioned, growth-oriented development policies carried out for decades. Such a development path is triggering negative consequences in the spatial, economic and also demographic dimension, which tend to intensify each other. The thesis postulates that the definition of the “shrinking city in Eastern Germany” is not appropriate to depopulating cities in Poland. Polish cities are characterized by a short-lasting population decrease and this trend is not triggering negative spatial and economic consequences. Oversized growth development policies were never present in the cities and they still suffer from great deficiencies in housing and other basic infrastructure, which derive from the socialist period. Furthermore, radical de-economization, known from Eastern German cities, did not occur in the Polish cities. Both Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia remain main production centers of the country. This doctoral thesis presents a contradictory view to contemporary publications on “shrinking cities”, in which this phenomenon is regarded as having occurred suddenly after the collapse of the socialism. It proved that “shrinking cities” in Eastern Germany are not the outcome of short-lasting processes, but are deeply rooted in the past. Moreover, they represent a very distinct development pattern that highly differentiates from the one found in Central Eastern Europe and the one in Western Europe. In this way the doctoral thesis provided a new, critical approach to the discourse on “shrinking cities” in Germany. It also draws attention to the importance of the historical analysis in cities’ development research, particularly in cross border studies. In time of European integration peculiarities resulting from centuries of different spatial, economic and social development paths should not be underestimated.

I argue that architecture old and new stems from specific cultural and social forms, and is dictated by processes of remembering and forgetting. It is through interaction (between inhabitant and object) that architecture is given innate meanings within an urban environment that makes its role in the interplay one of investigative interest. To enable the study of this performance, I develop a framework based on various theoretical paradigms to investigate three broad questions: 1) How does one study the performance of memory and forgetting through architecture in dynamic urban landscapes? 2) Is there a way to identify markers and elements within the urban environment that enable such a study? 3) What is the role that urban form plays within this framework and does the transformation of urban form imply the transformation of memory and forgetting? The developed framework is applied to a macro (an urban level study of Bangalore, India) and micro level study (a singular or object level study of Stari Most/ Old Bridge, Mostar, BiH), to analyse the performance of remembering and forgetting in various urban spheres through interaction with architecture and form. By means of observations, archival research, qualitative mapping, drawings and narrative interviews, the study demonstrates that certain sites and characteristics of architecture enable the performance of remembering and the questioning of forgetting by embodying features that support this act. Combining theory and empirical studies this thesis is an attempt to elucidate on the processes through which remembering and forgetting is initiated and experienced through architectural forms. The thesis argues for recognising the potential of architecture as one that embodies and supports the performance of memory and forgetting, by acting as an auratic contact zone.
