Building a Way to the City? Asking about Objects, Conditions, and Essence as a Methodology for Approaching the Urban

Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Frage: Was macht die Stadt zu dem, was sie ist? Auch wenn Fragen für gewöhnlich eine Antwort fordern, zeigt der Beitrag, dass es auch andere Wege gibt, sich ihnen zu nähern. Inspiriert vom Philosophen Martin Heidegger eröffnet er auch die Strategie, mit sensiblem Fragen das Befragte einzuladen, sich nicht nach bestehenden Definitionen zu präsentieren, sondern authentisch, zu seinen eigenen Bedingungen.The purpose of this paper is to address a question: what makes a city what it is? Admittedly, asking a question usually aims at finding an answer, but, as I will explain in the following, there are other ways to approach questions. Inspired by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, and in particular his lecture on "The Question Concerning Technology", I will demonstrate that sensible questioning can work as an invitation for the object questioned in this way to reveal itself, not as a captive caught in pre-established definitions, but as an authentic being revealing itself on its own terms

Etnologi i løsningernes land: Det anvendte ved den anvendte kulturanalyse

I dette oplæg vil jeg forsøge at udfolde det anvendte ved den anvendte kulturanalyse. Nærmere bestemt vil jeg undersøge hvilke implikationer, ”det anvendte” har for måden kulturanalysen udføres, modtages og kvalificeres. Som jeg vil vise, er det ikke mindst i forholdet mellem kulturanalytikeren og analysens modtager, at det særegne ved denne tilgang kommer til udtryk

MARSEILLE

Even to people who have never sat foot in Marseille, it is known to be a corrupt and dangerous place. In this article I examine the relation between reputation, experience and the city. How did Marseille’s bad reputation come into being, and what consequences does it have for the way the city is experienced by first time visitors? &nbsp

FRA SOMMERHUS TIL HELÅRSBOLIG

The aim of this article is to compare different ways of dwelling in second homes. Since 1991, retired people have been given the right by the Danish government to convert their second home into a primary dwelling. Through numerous empirical examples, the consequences of the transformation from one type of dwelling to another are analysed. Especially the perceptions of nature, social relationships and everyday life reveal signifi cant changes, with salient impacts on architecture, gardening and leisure time, that result in a differentiation of the otherwise monofunctional landscape of second homes in Denmark. From an anthropological point of view, the transformation from second home to primary home is interesting because it makes explicit the relationship between dwelling and architecture, in the sense that when one is changed, the other will most likely follow suit. Keywords: Second home, dwelling, leisure time, everyday life. &nbsp
