We are very delighted to announce the release of our workshop publication, which is based on lectures, discussions and collaboration during the KOSMOS Workshop “Beyond Urban Transformation. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Urban Everyday Life” at Georg-Simmel Center for Metropolitan Studies, Humboldt-University of Berlin, September 5-8, 2018.
A workshop dedicated to the discussion of ethnographic, architectural, and artistic research on the city as both a space of eviction, displacement, dispossession, resistance, division, gentrification, friction, tension, lawfare, as well as space for of productive conflict, mobilization, commoning, encounter, community development, creativity, performance, intervention — toward alternative futures.
The workshop brought together senior and junior scholars from urban anthropology, human geography, sociology, urban planning and design to collaborate interdisciplinary on researching how urban transformation can be studied ethnographically from the perspective of everyday urban practice along the topics of urban commons and resilience. Together with the invited speakers, and in collaboration with the participants, we have spent four intense and inspiring days in Berlin.
The publication was supported by the KOSMOS Program, Excellence Initiative of the Humboldt-University of Berlin, organized by the Urban Ethnography Lab, in cooperation with Harvard University and University of Toronto’s Ethnography Lab.
