Upwind Despite Headwind? Degrowth Transformations Amidst Shrinkage and Eroding Democracy in an East German Small Town
Spatial transformation follows the logic of a growth-oriented economy that values cities according to their place in the chain of capitalist wealth production. Many cities in East Germany have lost their significance as sites of production and are consequently facing population decline and the weakening of social bonds in the community. For this reason, citizens of the East German small town of Zella-Mehlis (state of Thuringia) have begun to refl…
Psychogeography of Refugee Youth from Ukraine in Weimar, Germany
This study looks at the sense of belonging among the youth who fled Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and currently reside in Weimar, Germany. Having fled the war in a time of transition to a more independent stage of life, refugee youth are finding themselves in a challenging context of liminality: both in terms of age and environment. Experiencing a feeling of uncertainty about their positioning in life and a new society, refugee youth ar…
Urban Heritage in Transformation
Urban heritage is at the core of the process of many changes observable in the cities today. The pace of urban change in heritage contexts, however, differs widely across the globe. In some areas, it goes slowly, in others it is astonishingly rapid. In some cases, change is coupled with risks of erosion of heritage and urban areas of value and in others change is synonymous with prosperity and positive impacts. Change in urban heritage areas is n…
Religion sans espace sacré
Churches have lost members in the last decades in an unpredicted way. In many parishes, the attempt to redefine religious life has led to an attempt to offer more inclusive practices especially in cities with severe loss of social cohesion. In this way, the opening up of the Catholic Church in Germany for an approach of ‘social space’ seems to contradict the assumption of Durkheim that a differentiation between the ‘sacred’ and the ‘profane’ is a…
A closer look at mineral aerosol emissions from the Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana, using automated SEM-EDS (QEMSCAN®)
This paper demonstrates the use of Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by SCANning electron microscopy (QEMSCAN®), an automated scanning microscopy technique, which combines scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), providing ultra-fast analysis of particle grains at a micron-scale resolution. We evaluate its application in aerosol studies by comparing surface and airborne samples from the Makgadikgadi Pan in Bo…

Interkulturelle Schauplätze in der Großstadt
Die Großstädte wachsen. Vor allem in Asien und Südamerika stellen sie herkömmliche urbanistische Konzepte in Frage. Zugleich sind sie die kulturellen Räume, in denen sich nationale Orientierungen auflösen und interkulturelle Begegnungen mit anderen Traditionen, Sprachen und Ritualen vorgezogen werden. Den Zusammenhang zwischen metropolitanen Schauplätzen als Bedingungen für ein transnationales, plurales, hybrides Selbstverständnis und den kulture…

Chicago" no Brasil a importância da redescoberta da cidade e da "raça
The development of contemporary cities in Brazil raises many conceptual questions for urban sociology. The lasting tradition of the Chicago School seems not to be applicable as it is based on the mayor assumption race related segregation. It has been assumed that therefore Brazilian cities are different. In this article, the author wants to question this perspective. Firstly, it will be demonstrated that the legacy of the Chicago School in Brazil…

Die komplexe Stadt
Das Leben in der Stadt ist durch viele unterschiedliche, teils widersprüchliche Aspekte gekennzeichnet. Städte sind der Ort komplexer gesellschaftlicher und räumlicher Dynamiken. Welche allgemeinen Prinzipien urbaner Komplexität können im Labyrinth der Städte ausfindig gemacht werden? In einem Streifzug durch elf Metropolen soll diesen nachgespürt und mit bestehenden Theorien der Stadtentwicklung abgeglichen werden.

The role of human factors in the degradation of natural resources in and around the Okavango Delta, Botswana
This paper draws on archival information, anecdotal evidence from local communities, in situ observations during field investigation and multi‐date remotely sensed satellite imagery. The authors investigated the role of human factors in the degradation of natural resources in and around the Okavango Delta. Their study concerned a period slightly in excess of 140 years between 1860 and 2001. Environmental changes in this sub‐region appear to be th…
Multiculturalism in Germany
Multiculturalism has become an important focus in debates in Germany over the last twenty years, especially in relation to issues of nationality. As Germany still does not define itself officially as an immigrant society, the presence of ethnic diversity presents a number of challenges. Populist and official definitions of citizenship and nationality have still not been extended to cultural minorities and immigrants. In this article, the recent d…

In Search for Meaning
After the German reunification, the situation of Berlin has been rapidly and radically changed. As it is the only place where East and West Germany are spatially organizing an urban society, it seems to be obvious that the city has been shaped by processes of national scope. The replacement of the German government from Bonn to Berlin has been a mayor step in the way of reorganizing the total German urban network. Many infrastructural projects ar…

Soziologie der Stadt
Die soziologische Befassung mit der Stadt hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die von der Stadtsoziologie in den Blick genommenen Raumbezüge eröffnen wichtige Zugänge zum urbanen Leben der globalisierten (Post-)Moderne. Zur Disposition steht hier die Stadt mit ihren eigenen Spielregeln: ihren ethnischen und geschlechtsbezogenen Trennungslinien und vielfältigen Vergemeinschaftungsprozessen. Wie diese theoretisch einzuor…
