Kommentar
Walk Berlin. Notice buildings, streets, spaces that draw your attention.
Syrian restaurants occupy former East German buildings. Turkish families have lived in Kreuzberg for decades. Arabic appears on memorial plaques. Kurdish newspapers sell at corner kiosks. What stories do these layers tell? How do communities make themselves at home in cities that have been repeatedly unmade and remade? What gets preserved and what gets erased? Who decides what belongs?
Students choose one book to read: Anna Tsing's The Mushroom at the End of the World, James C. Scott's Seeing Like a State, or Robert Macfarlane's Is a River Alive? Schließen
