SoSe 22: Global Cities in History
Michael Goebel
Comments
Cities have long been regarded, in Lewis Mumford’s words of 1938, as "a point of maximum concentration for the power and culture of a community." But they served not only as centers of regional or national communities but also as nodal points of long-distance connections. Looking at urban areas through the lens of global history, the seminar will explore the role played by cities in a world connecting and ask in how far the development of cityscapes was affec¬ted and shaped by conditions of global connected¬ness. The seminar focuses on selected case studies since the nineteenth century. We also explore the effects of asym¬¬¬me¬trical power relations that produced segmented, unequal, and unmixed cityscapes. In sum, the seminar aims at furnishing historical tools for a better under¬standing of the intersections between globalization and urbanization. close
