052-0704-00L	Soziologie II	2 KP	2V	C. Schmid, I. Apostol, N. Bathla, J. E. Duyne Barenstein, A. Hertzog-Fraser
Kurzbeschreibung	Soziologie II präsentiert aktuelle Perspektiven und Methoden der Stadtforschung. Teil I führt in das Recht auf Stadt und den hybriden urbanen Raum ein (Ileana Apostol); Teil II diskutiert das Wohnen als soziale und kulturelle Praxis (Jennifer Duyne); Teil III führt in postkoloniale Perspektiven der Stadtforschung ein (Nitin Bathla und Alice Hertzog-Fraser).
Lernziel	Die Vorlesungsreihe soll den Studierenden die Fähigkeit vermitteln, Architektur und gebaute Umwelt in ihrem gesellschaftlichen Kontext zu begreifen. Sie vermittelt eine Einführung in die grosse Bandbreite von zeitgenössischen Urbanisierungsprozessen im globalen Kontext.
Inhalt	Soziologie II konzentriert sich auf aktuelle Analyseperspektiven in der Stadtforschung und stellt theoretische Bezugsrahmen anhand konkreter Fallstudien vor. Zunächst wird die Perspektive des Rechts auf Stadt im Zusammenhang mit der hybriden (physischen und digitalen) Beschaffenheit des Raums eingeführt, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf Urbanität und Lebensqualität in der Nachbarschaft (Dozentin: Ileana Apostol). Im zweiten Teil werden die globalen Herausforderungen im Wohnungsbau und Lösungen für den Wohnungsbau diskutiert (Dozentin: Jennifer Duyne). Der dritte Teil des Kurses erkundet postkoloniale Perspektiven in der Stadtforschung. Die ersten beiden Vorlesungen des dritten Teils geben einen Überblick über die postkoloniale Stadttheorie und erörtern die räumliche Polarisierung und das Alltagsleben im erweiterten Stadtgebiet von Delhi (Dozent: Nitin Bathla). Die beiden folgenden Vorträge des dritten Teils befassen sich mit der Rolle des Rhodes-Livingstone-Instituts, auch bekannt als Manchester-Schule, im kolonialen Afrika und gehen auf zeitgenössische Debatten über Neokolonialismus im Zusammenhang mit der chinesischen Urbanisierung im heutigen Afrika ein (Dozentin: Alice Hertzog).

052-0724-22L	Sociology: Agrarian Questions Under Extended Urbanisation	2 KP	2S	C. Schmid, N. Bathla
Kurzbeschreibung	As the prospect of complete urbanisation increasingly becomes a concrete rather than abstract reality, architecture and urban studies is consistently confronted with the agrarian question. This research seminar introduces some of the key concepts and ideas around the agrarian question and extended urbanisation in agrarian territories.
Lernziel	Through this course, the seminar participants are expected to develop a critical understanding of the agrarian question, its political economy, and urbanisation in the agrarian territories. The participants are thus expected to actively engage in presenting, discussing, and debating the recommended literature for the seminar. Furthermore, the participants are encouraged to identify alternatives and imagine the possibilities for architectural and urban practice in the agrarian territories. In summary, the seminar aims to accomplish the following: - Allow the seminar participants to gain a critical understanding of the concepts, ideas, and debates around the agrarian question, agrarian ecology, and extended urbanisation. - Strengthen the ability of the seminar participants to read, present, and debate academic texts. - Develop ideas for architectural and urban practice in agrarian territories.
Inhalt	This course attempts a systematic engagement with the agrarian questions in its many facets and intersections with architecture and extended urbanisation. It explores the agrarian questions under extended urbanisation in the 21st century through surveying some of its current discourses and debates. Each week, the seminar participants will be introduced to a new facet of the agrarian question organised along the various thematically designed sessions. The introductory sessions will bring the agrarian question in a world historical perspective through exploring land settlement under colonialism, and the various revolutions and counter-revolutions that emerged in its wake in the global countryside. A further set of sessions will explore the question of food through discussing food sovereignty, food regimes, urban farming, and the future of food. A central facet of the seminar will be the question of land and labour, which will be discussed through the themes of global depesentisation, migration, land enclosure, and primitive accumulation. Lastly, the seminar will explore the contemporary entanglements between the agrarian question and urbanisation through considering global supply chains, carbon forestry, and urbanism in the agrarian territories. Each of the thematic session will include at least three recommended readings. The course participants will prepare short presentations based on these readings in groups of two followed by a moderated discussion between the participants. Based on the readings, the participants are encouraged to identify alternatives and imagine the possibilities for architectural and urban practice in agrarian territories.
Skript	A seminar reader will be provided to the participants at the start of the semester.
