احساس شهر: همراهی برای انسان‌شناسی شهری (بنیادهای باوولت)

Die Stadt ist mehr als Architektur und Demographie, sie ist auch Idee und Vorstellung. Verschiedene Gruppen, Szenen und Subkulturen prägen diese Vorstellungen und werden auch von ihr geprägt. Stadtanthropologen tauchen in dieses Bedeutungsgewebe ein und erforschen das Leben, wie es in der Stadt 'wirklich' vor sich geht. Das Buch bietet eine Einführung in die urbane Feldforschung, die als Schlüsseldisziplin des 20. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich das Nachdenken über Stadt bestimmt hat: Es enthält Beiträge von führenden Vertretern ebenso wie vom vielversprechenden Nachwuchs. Comics der Künstlerin Nele Brönner kommentieren die Arbeitsweise des Feldforschens. Mit Texten von Peter Jackson, Les Back, Ruth Behar, Moritz Ege, Rolf Lindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loïc Wacquant.

The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as "man in the street", shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses.
The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers.With essays by PeterJackson, LesBack, RuthBehar, MoritzEge, RolfLindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loic Wacquant.

Urbanization is transforming the planet, within and beyond cities, at all spatial scales. In this book, Neil Brenner mobilizes the tools of critical urban theory to deconstruct some of the dominant urban discourses of our time, which naturalize, and thus depoliticize, the enclosures, exclusions, injustices and irrationalities of neoliberal urbanism. In so doing, Brenner advocates a constant reinvention of the framing categories, methods and assumptions of critical urban theory in relation to the rapidly mutating geographies of capitalist urbanization. Only a theory that is dynamic--which is constantly being transformed in relation to the restlessly evolving social worlds and territorial landscapes it aspires to grasp--can be a genuinely critical theory "The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind.
