Comments
Urban studies offer the opportunity to link larger historical processes to specific places and communities. Based on a variety of cities, the course offers an overview of the history of the Arabic-speaking Middle East from the 18th to the 21st century. Parallel developments – for example in the urban transformation in the late Ottoman period or against the background of oil industrialization on the Arabian Peninsula – will be traced, while also taking regional differences and local peculiarities into consideration. At the same time, the students will get to know more recent approaches to urban research. The perspectives of different disciplines (e.g. history, anthropology, urban and architectural sociology) and key theoretical concepts (e.g. space, emotions, resistance, agency) will be discussed, all based on concrete examples.
The seminar is accompanied by an Arabic reading course, which serves as an introduction into the work with primary sources.
