History of Cultural Studies and its Methods II (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Armin Beverungen, Luca Scheunpflug

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 14.027 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Organized as a lecture series, this course focuses on central themes and thinkers in the globalized sphere of cultural theorizing within the humanities and social sciences. The concerns, debates and methodologies of international cultural theorizing in part also draw upon different traditions and geographies of thought, or take the form of ›mobile theories‹ and ›travelling concepts‹ translated into different contexts, and change as they travel. The lecture series is, as suggested by the cultural theorizing explored, based on an understanding of culture as plural, as cultures that are continouously produced through, and made manifest in, embodied practices, discourses, spaces, emotional registers, technologies and organizational forms. In a globalized world, these cultural constellations are also geographically and linguistically plural, shaped by both global proceses and local conditions. They are thus contested and to some degree contingent. The terms and methods of cultural theorizing, its history and present, are invariably part of this ›cultural production and contestation‹. We hope that the lectures and discussions will therefore allow us to defamiliarize and enrich our ways of seeing and understanding, to make sense (differently) about how invariably globalized cultures take place.

Urban Environmental Justice (FSL) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Luca Scheunpflug

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 12:15 - 13:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 12.001 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Urban areas can be subjected to negative environmental burdens and changes such as air and water pollution, construction, but also noise, and the establishment of pollutant-intensive industries or waste disposal facilities. This often affects districts and neighborhoods disproportionately in which marginalized and discriminated societal groups live and work. However, it has also been shown that climate adaptation and mitigation infrastructures as well as upgrades to a neighborhood’s mobility or economic structure can have negative social consequences. These green urban policies in the course of intended sustainable development can affect the social structure and promote displacement dynamics in favor of economically, socially, and politically powerful actors.
