Urban Spaces & Places: Analysing and Exploring Berlin (Online)

About

Please also note our range of academic online courses: http://www.fubis.org/online! Urban studies and discourse on the city combine scholarship in fields as diverse as human geography, history, and the arts. Berlin, with its seemingly infinite possibilities for creative societal transformation and self-fashioning, provides an excellent sociocultural analytical model. It is at the same time both a fixed "place" with a distinct topography and an interactive "space" comprised of residents and visitors of multifarious social groups. FUBiS invites you to join us as we analyse and explore places/spaces in Germany's ultimate "urban text", Berlin. In-class analysis and discussion of academic and literary texts about Berlin will prepare you for our course excursions. We will begin at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin's most important site that functions as both a place and a space. Here, you will learn more about this landmark and its meaning in Berlin's social imagery, linking temporal layers of past and present in Berlin.
