Wie kommt Wissen in Bewegung?

Stadtgespräch zu Mobilität und Beteiligung in der Stadt

18.04.2024 | 17 Uhr | Braubachstraße 7 (Agentur des städtischen Wandels)

mit Nils Güttler (Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Universität Wien), Stefan Böhm-Ott (Referent des Planungsdezernenten), Beatrix Baltabol (Radentscheid), Sebastian Kotek (Bürgerinitiative Superblock), Isabel Istel (Beratungsstelle Umwelt lernen/ Masterplan Mobilität), Tobias Krauch (Agentur des städtischen Wandels/ Deutsches Architekturmuseum). Moderation: Janine Hagemeister und Catharina Dietrich (beide Institut für Kulturanthropologie und Europäische Ethnologie - Universität Frankfurt / DFG-Projekt “tracing data politics”)

Wie wollen wir die Innenstadt gestalten? / Wie wollen wir uns durch die Stadt bewegen? Wer kennt sich damit aus, wer redet mit? / Wo liegen Expertisen zur Transformation der Stadt? Woher wissen wir, was gute Wege sind?

Über diese Fragen werden wir am 18. April um 17 Uhr in der Agentur des städtischen Wandels (Braubachstraße 7) mit Vertreter:innen aus Wissenschaft, Stadtverwaltung und Zivilgesellschaft ins Gespräch kommen. Am Beispiel der Frankfurter Verkehrswende fragen wir gemeinsam mit unseren Gästen und dem Publikum, wie städtische Transformationsprozesse geplant und umgesetzt werden und welche Rolle dabei die Erfahrungen, Kenntnisse und das Engagement unterschiedlicher Akteure spielt.

Mit der Veranstaltung wollen wir ein Gespräch über die Bedeutung von Daten, Wissen und Beteiligung auf verschiedenen Ebenen in der Stadtgestaltung eröffnen. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen, es ist keine Anmeldung erforderlich und der Eintritt ist frei.

Hinweis zur Barrierefreiheit: Der Veranstaltungsraum ist mit einer niedrigen Schwelle im Erdgeschoss erreichbar. Die Toilette des Veranstaltungsraums ist aktuell noch nicht barrierefrei erreichbar.



Organisiert von Janine Hagemeister, Catharina Dietrich, Martin Herrnstadt, Timotheus Kartmann

Don't miss the first session of the Lecture Series tonight with Christopher Kelty! https://fb.me/e/1mbRwNYuh

Christopher Kelty (University of California, Los Angeles)
Fixing the Future in Los Angeles or, Why Johnny Can't Problematize
Campus Westend, Seminarhouse, SH 2.105 and online

This talk reports some absurdities of environmental governance in a particular place: Los Angeles, California. It focuses on three urban ecological and wildlife controversies: the environmental impact of feral cats cared for by humans, the secondary effects of anticoagulant rodenticides on predatory and scavenging birds and mammals; and the restoration of a wetlands sacred to local Native American peoples, degraded by both oil drilling and conservation. Central to all of them are techno-political tools: environmental impact reports, mitigation bank and credits systems, pesticide registration review. Each of these tools fix the future by defining the present and testing the impacts of different futures--evidence-based policy making. Yet as a pragmatic form, they do much more: they slow down the future in some ways, and speed it up in others; they instantiate certain pasts over others, and they become intense affective fields around which the possibility of argument unfolds. I argue that this does not always happen along predictable lines, serving as a bulwark against a damaging future in some cases and a roadblock to a desired change in others.

Podcast series trashtalks is online!

Within the framework of two courses from the last summer term 2021, the podcast series 'trashtalks' was created. Students from the BA research seminar 'Networked Ways of Waste' and the MA course 'Waste in and out of Pericapitalist Sites' (led by Kathrin Eitel) have explored topics around waste in a total of 11 podcast episodes.

The podcasts are looking at the waste sector in Germany in general, about recycling, the reuse of food and old clothes, the disposal of hazardous waste as well as zero waste approaches. We also have exciting insights into the recovery of phosphorus from sewage sludge in store for you. Or tune in to hear how microplastics are becoming a problem. If you're wondering what q***r approaches have to do with waste research, you've come to the right place, as well as if you want to take a closer look at waste and global inequalities. With that in mind, tune in! Also: the last three episodes are in English!

++++ TODAY: Get-to-know each other! +++++

Hey Everyone!

As a lot of you have already heard about our upcoming event on Friday, 29.10.21 we would like to officially invite you!

On Friday, the 29.10.21 we invite all the new students from the B.A. Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology and the M.A. Science and Technology for a little ,,Schnitzeljagd” in the City. As most of you are new to the City, we want you to get to know the City and have a fun time with your fellow students. Since there might be some parts of the tour, in which we probably need a prove of vaccination, we kindly ask your to bring it with you! The tour will be around 2-3 hours, after this you will know the City like a local! We meet at 4PM at the Entrance of IG - Farbenhaus on the Campus Westend.

After a long day of strolling through the City, we would like to invite you to the 2nd Part of the event. The last semesters have been tough and even for students from the higher semester, this might be their first semester on the campus! Because of this, we would like to open up the event for all students of the Institute to get to know each other and have a good time! The ,,Schnitzeljagd” through the city will at 7PM end at the Metrostation ,,Kirchplatz” (U6 Hausen/ U7 Heerstraße) and lead to a little Party. The address is: Rödelheimerstraße 14, 60487 Frankfurt a.M. . Depending on how we vibe, we were thinking to go to Café Koz afterwards.

Some free drinks and snacks will be provided, but to be sure, it’s always nice when everyone additionally brings some things aswell😊

We are really looking forward to see you and get to know you!

Cansu and Amanda (GefKA)
