Guiding Ideas
We think it is very interesting to ask to what extent a text (or author) that is considered a classic in one's own discipline or that is central to one's own concept of urbanity is also convincing for someone with a different disciplinary perspective. Questions that guide our discussion include: What can the text contribute to an understanding of urbanity or the city? How convincing is the text outside its disciplinary location? Where are its weaknesses or gaps?
Conceptual Framework
We would also like to tailor our future selection of texts to the interests of the reading group. We welcome any literature suggestions that you would like to discuss in an interdisciplinary context.
The texts will be made available via our cloud ( NUR Next.Hessenbox). Should there be any problems with access or should questions arise or you have a text suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or telephone.
