Working with an extremely broad definition of "urban culture" to include not only "established" forms of urban culture such as museums, music, drama and other performing arts, but also popular forms of cultural expression such as graffiti, tattoos, urban installation art, guerrilla gardening etc., this seminar will explore the theory and practice of "urban culture" in a very general sense. In our theoretical discussions, we will consider concepts from ecocriticism, cultural ecology and other fields and will explore the field of "urban cultural ecology". We will also consider the question what role "culture" in this very broad sense can play in achieving sustainable urban development.
A reader containing key theoretical texts and case studies will be available in the copy-shop Reckhammerweg from early March. |
