Prof. Dr. Susanne Frank

Prof. Frank erforscht derzeit die Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte Osteuropas (Russland, Belarus, Ukraine) mit Schwerpunkt auf Fragen von Autorschaft, politischer Krise und kultureller Identität im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Ihre aktuelle Arbeit verbindet literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse mit transnationalen und geschlechterhistorischen Perspektiven — etwa zu weiblicher Autorschaft in historischen Romanen oder zum Verhältnis von künstlerischer Praxis und politischem Wandel. Daneben leitet sie ein DFG-Graduiertenkolleg zur Wissensgeschichte kleiner literarischer Formen. Für Unternehmen und öffentliche Institutionen relevant ist ihre Expertise in der Analyse kultureller Transformationsprozesse und ihrer Vermittlung — etwa für Museen, Archive, Gedächtnisinstitutionen oder Kulturpolitik im Kontext von Dekolonialisierung und transnationaler Zusammenarbeit.

• The European URBAN Experience: seen from the academic perspective

  Quelle ↗

  <p>The study aims at presenting recent and current academic research on the implementation of URBAN I & II programmes in different European cities and countries. It should provide an overview of the existing studies (with references, sources, authors, locations), and, above all, an analytical synthesis of the issues, research questions and answers addressed by these studies.</p><p>This is not as easy as it seems to be. Although there are many (young) researchers from different fields of study (e.g. political and administrative sciences, sociology, urban planning, geography etc.) involved in the area, as yet not even a fistful of academic studies has been published officially. The URBAN literature is mainly made up of grey literature: unpublished dissertations, Diploma papers (Degree and Master theses), expert reports and conference papers, some scattered articles. Grey literature is not widely circulated and therefore difficult to get knowledge of and to obtain. In other words, in this research area there is a lack of systematic recording of available literature and a lack of communication or networking between the researchers.</p><p>Therefore, the project has 4 objectives:<br>1) to systematically detect the academic URBAN literature in order to provide a full bibliography<br>2) to systematically analyze and synthesize the literature. Here, the particular focus is on questions of governance: What is the impact of URBAN on (national, regional and) local governance structures and dynamics? In how far has URBAN the potential to empower the subnational level and local actors? What is the importance of exchange and policy learning offered through the transnational dimension of URBAN (and URBACT)?<br>3) to further networking and exchange between young academic researchers within the Network of Young European Urban Policy and URBAN researchers<br>4) to feed back the (intermediate) findings to URBAN activists and practitioners by presenting and discussing them at URBACT conferences.</p>

• Inner-City Suburbanization – no Contradiction in Terms. Middle-Class Family Enclaves are Spreading in the Cities

  2016

  Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning · DOI

  The rapid emergence and spread of new housing quarters that specifically address middle-class families is a striking feature of current urban development. Despite being located in or near the city centres, many of these ‘family enclaves’ display social and physical characteristics that so far have been firmly associated with suburban living. Against this background, the purpose of this article is twofold. The first objective is to argue from a theoretical perspective that the notion of ‘inner-city suburbanization’ is appropriate and helpful to capture the hybrid and contradictory nature of these projects as well as of many of the current socio-spatial developments in Western metropolitan regions. For this purpose, the paper draws on newer approaches that conceive of (urban or suburban) ways of living as independent of specific (urban or suburban) spaces or places. The second issue, based on empirical research, is then to sketch the essential qualities of newly built middle-class family enclaves and to highlight their propagation as a major characteristic of urban transformation in Germany. Their continuing expansion is interpreted as an expression and catalyst of ongoing processes of inner-city suburbanization. It is asserted that suburbanism has not only made its mark on the outskirts of the cities but is increasingly conquering growing parts of the inner cities as well.
