2 Re/Inventing Berlin Architecture after 1945 (english) SE Tue weekly (1) HV 5, A. Paluch 1) findet vom bis statt PLEASE NOTE: Seminar starts on 17 November! Language requirements: min. English B2 At the end of World War II Berlin, the former capital of Hitlers Third Reich, was largely destroyed. But the area-wide destructions also held an opportunitiy: the possibility to rebuild Berlin as a totally new city in modernists words: as a better city. And indeed Berlin changed dramatically but not in the way modern architects and urban planners had envisioned it in the post-war period. Quite differing proposals were made in East and West Berlin. Especially for the so-called Capital of the Cold War it proves to be true that architecture is not just a mirror to the society which builds it but that architecture also shapes the lives of the people living with and within it. Using examples such as Karl-Marx-Allee, Hansaviertel, Gropiusstadt, Potsdamer Platz et al. this seminar retraces the stations and phases of reconstruction with a focus on political and cultural developments. The most influential concepts of 20 th century urban planning will be presented. In addition the seminar aims to be an exercise in (architecture) criticism. Regular attendance and participation in class, as well as reading the assigned texts is obligatory. Short Presentations should be hold. Every participant is obliged to write a scientific essay (5 pages) and an architecture critique (1-2 pages), which standards and form will be subject of at least one session. The essay and/or the architecture critique can be submitted in German and/or English. The seminar will be held in English. This seminar is open to all students in the Arts and Humanities, as well as Social Sciences. It may particularly suit students with a background and/or interest in urban planning, urban studies, metropolitan studies, cultural studies, geography, sociology, art history and history.

Blattner 1) findet vom bis statt Language requirements: min. English B2; some German (at B1 level) needed for some of the core readings. Various aspects characterize a city: its history, materiality, everyday life and politics only to name a few. Research in the urban field requires methods that can adapt to a number of situations and can capture the changing natures of a city. For instance, the materiality of a street can hardly be analysed with the same means as the quotidian life of its inhabitants, being different every hour of the day. The focus of the course is on urban research based on a creative methodology. Fields of study will include sociology, art, philosophy, literature, geography and urban planning. In order to develop their own portrait of Berlin, participants will be introduced to a selection of creative methods of urban research such as walking, photography, mapping, soundscapes, observation and smell. The course will be taught in English. However a B1-level of German is needed as some of the core readings will be in German Eine Stadt erhält ihren Charakter durch verschiedene Aspekte: ihre Geschichte, Materialität, Politik und ihren Alltag um nur ein Paar zu nennen. Um die Stadt zu erforschen, braucht man Methoden, die sich an eine Vielzahl von Situationen anpassen können und das sich ständig ändernde Wesen einer Stadt einzufangen vermögen. So kann beispielsweise die Materialität einer Straße kaum mit den gleichen Mitteln analysiert werden wie der Alltag ihrer Bewohner, der doch zu jeder Tageszeit ein anderer ist. Der Schwerpunkt des Seminars liegt auf kreativen Methoden der Stadtforschung. Hierbei werden verschiedene Studienrichtungen wie Soziologie, Kunst, Philosophie, Literatur, Geographie und Stadtplanung mit einbezogen. Um ein eigenes Porträt von Berlin auszuarbeiten, werden den TeilnehmerInnen eine Auswahl an kreativen Methoden der Stadtforschung vorgestellt: Gehen, Fotografieren, Kartieren, Soundscapes, Beobachten und Riechen. Kurssprache ist Englisch. Da jedoch auch Texte auf Deutsch gelesen werden, sind B1-Kenntnisse im Deutschen erforderlich. Reading list Back, Les. Listening with our eyes.

English B2 This interdisciplinary course explores some key aspects visible in Berlin s museological landscape. It will focus on issues of Self and Other constructions as attested in museums and exhibitions. The aim of the course is to use anthropological methods to explore the sites and critical analyses to reflect upon them. This thematic course touches on several disciplines. It is based in empirical social anthropology, especially in terms of theoretical framework and methodology. It does, however, involve a historical overview of the Jewish narrative in Germany from just before 1933 to the present and an overview of migration issues.

Das Ziel ist, bestimmte Merkmale der Berliner Museumslandschaft zu erforschen und zu hinterfragen. Ethnologische Methoden werden während mehrerer Ausflüge zu Berliner Museen geübt. Der Fokus liegt auf zwei besonders sichtbaren und diskutierten Aspekten dieser urbanen Landschaft. Diese sind der jüdische Topos und das Migrationsthema. Dieser Kurs ist nicht nur für EthnologInnen gut geeignet, sondern auch für StudentInnen anderer Fächer, wie z. B. Geschichte, Religionswissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und/oder themenbezogener Fächer wie Urban Studies, Ethik und Museum Studies von Interesse. Sprachliche Voraussetzungen: Englisch B2, Deutsch B1. Y.

Grass 1) findet vom bis statt Berlin is the city of East / West competition. Since the division of the city into East and West, demonstrating the power of the capitalism and socialism respectively was central to urban planning. In the beginning, the solution of obstacles to urban development proved vital. This seminar examines the dualism in urban planning between East and West Berlin chronologically. Seminar presentations and two excursions trace the diverse targets and demands of capitalist and socialist urban planning. For the analysis, we do not only consider architectural and formal aspects. The Seminar provides a closer look to strategies and models of financing and commercialisation of urban planning. Cultural contexts, living and dwelling models and political strategies will be looked at as well. This seminar targets students interested in urban sociology and planning, metropolitan studies, German cultural history, economics, art history, and architectural history. Interested students of the humanities and social sciences are invited In keiner anderen Stadt hat der Wettkampf der Systeme deutlichere Spuren hinterlassen als in Berlin. Seit der Teilung der Stadt hatten städtebauliche Projekte auch immer den Anspruch dem Gegenüber die Stärke des eigenen politischen Systems zu demonstrieren. Dabei stand zunächst die Lösung essentieller städtebaulicher Fragen im Vordergrund. Das Seminar verfolgt chronologisch den Dualismus im Städtebau zwischen Ost- und Westberlin. Dabei wird sowohl im Seminarraum durch Präsentationen als auch auf zwei Exkursionen die unterschiedlichen Absichten und Ansprüche kapitalistischer und sozialistischer Stadtplanung untersucht werden. Im Fokus stehen jedoch nicht ausschließlich formale und architektonische Aspekte. Vielmehr sollen Kontexte, Finanzierungsmodelle und die jeweilige politische Repräsentationsstrategie analysiert werden. Das Seminar richtet sich an Studierende der Fachrichtungen Stadtsoziologie, Kulturgeschichte, Städtebau und Stadtplanung, Wirtschaftsgeschichte, Kunst- und Architekturgeschichte. Interessierte aus anderen Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachgebieten sind herzlich eingeladen. Preparatory literature: Bodenschatz, Harald: Berlin urban design A brief history.

Heyden, M. Schröer 1) findet vom bis statt PLEASE NOTE: This seminar is part of a "tandem experiment" with "Vielfalt der Wissensformen" - there will be opportunities for exchange and collaboration with the students in the other seminar. Language requirements: min. English B2/some German knowledge will be useful, but is not a pre-requisite. Eating is an everyday practice, so profane it seems to be just a physical necessity to stay alive. Its ubiquity easily hides the variety of discourses and the many sign systems that influence and are linked to the simple gesture of eating and preparing food. Who eats what and where refers to the history, culture and conception of a region and its inhabitants. In return, national and regional habits of eating find their linguistic expression in idioms and metaphors. For individuals and social groups alike, food serves as a marker of identity and a means of distinction - symbolism, ritual behavior, myths, themes and motives of food and eating can be read and analyzed as signs(ystems). In addition to foundational theoretical texts from the culture and social sciences and on Berlin (food) culture, we will analyze different representations of food and the acts and places of eating in literature (Döblin), film (Good bye, Lenin!), art (Zille) and comics (Mawil). In order to further German language proficiency we will focus especially on metaphors and idioms involving food and eating in everyday speech as well as their function in literary texts. The intellectual intake is complimented by the practical-sensuous discovery of Berlin and its regional specialties. We will make excursions to various eateries to discover the different flavors of Berlin as well as explore food related places like the currywurst museum. Requirements: regular attendance, active participation in class, oral presentation, participation in the excursions. Page 4 from 127

This course surveys German history through the prism of Berlin between the Confederation of the Rhine to the second unification of the German lands in We concentrate on politics and political culture of the Germanies. Following the wars of liberation against Napoleon, 38 states constituted the German Confederation at the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15. In its aftermath, the national-liberal movement lobbied and fought for the creation of a democratic German nation-state culminating in the revolution of After its failure, the liberals collaborated with conservative forced under Bismarck and traded political rights for a unified German Empire. This coalition allowed Bismarck to undermine the German Confederation and, eventually, to engineer the unification and Prussification of the German lands through blood and iron. After the defeat of central powers during the World War I, German was plunged into bloody civil war, and eventually emerged as the first democratic German republic. In 1933, the Germans used their democratic rights and elected the dictatorship. Nazi Germany set out to commit atrocities on an unprecedented scale throughout Europe. The grand wartime Alliance stopped and occupied Nazi Germany. The integration of the Western zones were a symptom of cold war tensions. Hardening bipolar antagonism created a surreal status for Berlin as city divided among the two superpowers. In 1961, the East German government finalized the division and walled in the Western zone of the city. The wall symbolized the separation of the two Germanies, which, however, remained remarkably stable throughout the cold war. In 1989, East Berliners brought down the wall in a peaceful revolution unifying both city and country. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to discuss major themes in German and Berlin history and critically analyze both primary and secondary sources. We will take a hands on approach to history through visits to museums and sights in Berlin 1. Introduction & End of the Holy Roman Empire 2.

Berner 1) findet vom bis statt Autobiographical Perspectives on GDR History (5 ECTS) DDR Geschichte aus autobiografischen Perspektiven The public memory of the GDR is, more than twenty-five years after Germany s reunification, still contested. In regular intervals it is for example discussed whether the GDR can be described as an Unrechtsstaat (illegitimate state). And while the public interest to learn about the surveillance apparatus of the Stasi is still growing, it is often criticized that the focus on control and oppression does not coincide with the everyday experiences of many GDR citizens. In this seminar we will read mostly autobiographical texts that deal with the system of oppression in the GDR and questions of individual conformity or resistance as well as with everyday experiences. We will discuss these individual memories in order to enable students to contextualize and interpret various memory discourses. Die öffentliche Erinnerung an die DDR ist auch mehr als fünfundzwanzig Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung umstritten. In regelmäßigen Abständen wird beispielsweise darüber diskutiert, ob die DDR als Unrechtsstaat zu bezeichnen sei. Und während einerseits das öffentliche Interesse am Überwachungsapparat Stasi weiter zunimmt, wird kritisiert, dass der Fokus auf Kontrolle und Unterdrückung den Alltagserfahrungen vieler DDR-Bürger nicht gerecht werde. In diesem Seminar diskutieren wir überwiegend autobiografische Texte, die sich sowohl mit dem Unterdrückungssystem DDR und Fragen der individuellen Anpassung oder des Wider-standes als auch mit Alltagserfahrungen beschäftigen. Die Seminarteilnehmer_innen werden in die Lage versetzt, unterschiedliche Erinnerungsdiskurse zu kontextualisieren und zu deuten. Further Information: Page 6 from 127

8 Language requirements: min. English B2, some basic German (A1-2) is helpful, but not a pre-requisite This seminar will deal with the question of how welfare state institutions and concrete social and education policies and initiatives shape individual life courses and life risks. We will approach this questions through a comparative perspective and through conducting qualitative interviews. The first part gives an introduction to comparative research on welfare states, education systems and the transition into the labour market. In the second part, we investigate the effects of the recent introduction of a minimum wage in Germany. We will conduct qualitative interviews to find out about the impacts of the minimum wage on employment and on the transition into the labour market. In the third part, we will investigate the transition from school to work of low educated young people and of refugees. We will get an overview of different policy measures and civil society initiatives to support the entry into the labour market, and conduct qualitative interviews. In the fourth part, we focus on the impact of education systems on students performance and inequality in a comparative perspective and conduct interviews on the secondary school reform in Berlin. Before the reform, students in Berlin were separated into three different school types at the age of 12 with only the highest school tracks leading to A-levels that give access to universities. Since the reform, students are tracked into two different school types only, which are both supposed to offer the possibility to complete A-levels. We will investigate how the reform worked in practice. To sum up, the seminar explores how social and educational policies impact on people s lives both from a comparative perspective and through interviews with people in Berlin.

12 The module builds on the basic understanding that coordination is an essential part of most human activities, indeed, making them social. In order to attain an in-depth understanding of the coordination problems people face and the way we can conceptualize adequate solution, and how change of institutions can be conceptualized, the course is divided into five sections. We start out with an elaboration of coordination problems, different definitions of institutions and property rights as basic dimensions of how the economy is organised (Section 1). This introductory section is followed by a discussion of static analysis of institutions that are introduced into the economic sphere in order to overcome coordination problems (Section 2). Subsequently, in Section 3, we address conceptualisations of the dynamics at play in changes of decentral institutions in the economic sphere. Section 4 addresses the role of institutions in policy making and state activities and analyses state activity and the allocation of state competencies more in general. Section 5 will look at conceptualisations of dynamics of institutional change triggered by policy making and state activities. At the end of each section articles which illustrate the application of some of the conceptual ideas introduced in analytical practice will be briefly discussed.
