Inhalt This seminar explores current theories at debates at the heart of the discipline we call urban studies. Through guided and fine-grained reading, students in the course will explore crosscutting themes and debates in urban theory related (but not limited) to the southern critique, the postcolonial critique, the feminist critique, and critiques of capitalism. Our central goal is to gain an overview of debates in urban theory and to selectively explore the broader theoretical traditions being brought to bear on urban research. Rather than conceiving of theory as somehow hovering above reality or disciplinary purviews and therefore universally applicable to urban analysis, this course situates theoretical production in the specific intellectual, material, and geographical contexts from which it emerges.

Central to this course are debates the constitute and contest the emergence of “global urbanism.” The first half of the course is dedicated to tackling current debates that position efforts to theorize urbanity, urbanism, and urbanization against calls for new directions that broaden, provincialize, re-territorialize, and globalize research in and of the urban. The second half of the course explores urban theory as it has emerged from different thematic and disciplinary entry points. Students will also be given the space to explore a theme/set of debates and learn to distinguish the theoretical discussions and traditions influencing and emanating from urban research around their topic.

Lernziele Learning Outcomes
- An understanding of current theoretical debates in and for urban studies
- An ability to contextualize theoretical arguments and situate their claims within the interdiscipline of urban studies
- An ability comment upon, revise, and re-purpose theory for the argument of an urban research project
