Die Stadt

Forschungsfragen, die sich auf den drei Ebenen der Gesellschaft, der Stadt und der Schule stellen

  • Wie materialisiert sich Geschichte in der Stadt und wie wird sie symbolisch verankert, überlagert, transformiert, erneuert oder rekonstruiert?
  • Welche Erinnerungsschichten sind privilegiert, welche dagegen werden vergessen oder verdrängt?
  • Frage nach Akteurs-Konstellationen: Wer nimmt an diesen Prozessen teil, wer ignoriert sie, wer bleibt ausgeschlossen?
  • Wie wird das kollektive Gedächtnis der urbanen Gemeinschaft durch Migrant*innen beeinflusst? Welche Möglichkeiten haben sie, das 'Gedächtnis der Stadt' mitzugestalten?
  • Welche Auswirkungen hat ein abrupter politischer Regimewechsel auf der lokalen Ebene?
  • Was passiert, wenn nationales und lokales Gedächtnis stark voneinander abweichen?
