| 052-0703-00L | Soziologie I  | 2 KP | 2V | C. Schmid, I. Apostol, N. Bathla, A. Hertzog-Fraser | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Die Vorlesung Soziologie I untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen gesellschaftlicher und baulicher Entwicklung aus einer makrosoziologischen Perspektive. Sie behandelt zentrale Aspekte des sozialen Wandels, historische und aktuelle Formen der Urbanisierung sowie exemplarische Urbanisierungsmodelle einzelner Städte. | ||||
| Lernziel | Die Vorlesungsreihe soll den Studierenden die Fähigkeit vermitteln, Architektur in ihrem gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu begreifen. | ||||
| Inhalt | Die Vorlesung Soziologie I geht von einer makrosoziologischen Betrachtung aus und untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen gesellschaftlicher und baulicher Entwicklung. In einem ersten Schritt werden einige zentrale Aspekte des sozialen Wandels thematisiert, insbesondere der Übergang vom Fordismus zum Neoliberalismus sowie die miteinander verschränkten Prozesse der Globalisierung und der Regionalisierung. Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit historischen und aktuellen Formen der Urbanisierung. Er behandelt unter anderem die veränderte Bedeutung des Gegensatzes von Stadt und Land; die Prozesse der Suburbanisierung, der Periurbanisierung und der planetaren Urbanisierung; die Herausbildung von Global Cities und Metropolitanregionen; die Entstehung von neuen urbanen Konfigurationen im Zentrum (Gentrifizierung) und in der urbanen Peripherie (Edge City, Exopolis, neue urbane Intensität). In einem dritten Teil werden diese allgemeinen Prozesse anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele anschaulich gemacht: Manchester, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris und Zürich | ||||

| 052-0723-21L | Sociology: African Urbanties - A Research Seminar Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 40 | 2 KP | 2S | A. Hertzog-Fraser, N. Bathla, C. Schmid | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Africa is an increasingly urban continent. How is this urbanity being produced? What form is it taking? And how is it being represented? This research seminar will explore the multiple and varied facets of African urbanity today. | ||||
| Lernziel | Participants will be expected to engage actively in: - hosting and curating discussions with guests - debating and discussing scholarly texts - identifying and presenting creative representations of African urbanity The goals of this course include: - gaining insights into the variety of urban forms and practices in Africa - acquiring new skills in hosting and interviewing experts - strengthening ability to read, present and debate academic texts - making connections between scholarly findings and artistic productions | ||||
| Inhalt | This course will unpack the range and variety of contemporary African urbanity. In doing so it will engage with both urban form and practices currently emerging, seeking to capture both their local manifestations as well as their regional, and global relevance. We will challenge the various clichéd snapshots of African urbanity, as defined by a lack of infrastructure, a shortage of resources, or the informal slum. Instead, we will seek to produce a more complex portrait of African urbanity today, moving away from the city and its centre as the sole locus of urban activity, to consider the role of extended urbanisation, trans-local networks and the digital arena in shaping new urbanities. We will welcome a series of scholars and practitioners who are currently redefining what we understand by African urbanity. For example, we will speak with architects, anthropologists, geographers, theorists, economists, historians and curators. What are they observing on the field? And how does this challenge current understandings of urban Africa? Each session will be structured a main reading and a presentation and discussion with our guest expert. In addition to this, students will be expected to present current representations of the topic under debate, for example from film, art or fiction. Along-side these conversations, we will read our way through a rich syllabus of both scientific articles, book chapters, and reviews. This will be complemented with an exploration of how art, film and fiction has shaped, and continues to shape current representations of urban Africa. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course will be held in English. Participants must be able to read and speak English. | ||||
| 063-0701-00L | Methoden der Stadtforschung Dieses Kernfach ("-00L" am Ende) kann nur einmal bestanden werden. Bitte vor Belegung prüfen. | 2 KP | 2G | C. Schmid, I. Apostol, N. Bathla, L. B. Howe, C. Ting | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Der Kurs vermittelt eine Einführung in Methoden der sozialwissenschaftlichen Stadtforschung durch Vorlesungen und begleitende Übungen. Er behandelt die Grundprinzipien des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens, Literaturrecherche, verschiedene Formen von teilnehmender Beobachtung, qualitative Interviews (Experteninterview, ethnographisches Interview) und die Analyse von urbanen Qualitäten. | ||||
| Lernziel | Dieser Kurs soll es den Studierenden der Architektur ermöglichen, mit einfachen Mitteln soziologische Analysen als Grundlage für Entwurfsarbeiten einzusetzen. Er basiert auf einem spezifischen Methodenset, das in Entwurfskursen (integrierte Disziplin) und auch bei der Masterarbeit (Begleitfach Soziologie) angewendet wird. | ||||
| 064-0017-21L | Research Methods in Landscape and Urban Studies  | 2 KP | 2K | G. Vogt, H. Klumpner, F. Persyn, C. Schmid, M. Topalovic | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Advanced PhD candidates of urban studies, urban and landscape design and urban sociology report about their experiences and insights in the concrete application of methods utilized for their research and scientific publications. Discussion of ongoing individual work, methodological questions, critical perspectives on urban and landscape design and city's relation to society. | ||||
| Lernziel | The seminar seeks to provide participants with a differentiated knowledge of methods in the field of the urbanism. Furthermore, it provides a platform to exchange contemporary urban research experiences across disciplinary boundaries, drawing from different geographies of knowledge production. Possible meta-themes include modes of data assessment in urban studies, ways of progressing from hypothesis to synthesis, and research by design as method. | ||||
| Inhalt | The format will provide an overarching methodological meta-theme, to be defined prior to the event. One external guest critic will be invited. In this case, each presentation will conclude with a discussion round, providing sufficiently detailed feedback for every doctoral candidate. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The seminar is joint-organized by the chairs of the professors H. Klumpner, Ch. Girot, G. Vogt and M. Angélil (who in HS18 is mainly responsible for the course (one full-day event in the academic semester). Participants in both cases will be expected to submit single-page abstracts of their papers in advance and to make a presentation of app. 20 minutes at the colloquium. The discussion rounds will be moderated by the organizing professor and the invited guests. Enrolment on agreement with the lecturer only. | ||||
