Prof. Dr. Ilse Helbrecht

Prof. Helbrecht erforscht gegenwärtig, wie urbane und ländliche Räume durch die Perspektiven von Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern – insbesondere im Kontext von Alter, Diversität und Unsicherheit – gestaltet und erlebt werden. Ihre aktuellen Projekte untersuchen ontologische Sicherheit im Wohnen, die Konvergenz von alternden Gesellschaften und Superdiversität in europäischen Städten, sowie ländliche Infrastrukturen und ihre subjektive Bedeutung für lokale Gemeinschaften. Für Kommunen, Wohnungsunternehmen und Stadtentwickler liefert sie empirisch fundierte Erkenntnisse darüber, wie Planungsentscheidungen – von Wohnungsmarktpolitik bis Infrastrukturentwicklung – das Wohlbefinden und die Sicherheitsempfindungen verschiedener Bevölkerungsgruppen beeinflussen. Ihre Methoden verbinden qualitative Interviews mit visuellen Techniken (Fotografie, Bildgestützte Interviews) und untersuchen auch postkoloniale Kontexte (Ghana, Kanada), um urbane Governance und Gentrification global zu verstehen.

• Time, Non-representational Theory and the "Performative Turn"—Towards a New Methodology in Qualitative Social Research

  2008

  Forum: Qualitative Social Research (Freie Universität Berlin) · DOI

  Because of their constitution, the usage of performative techniques in qualitative social research must deal with a paradox. Acting as performance takes place in the present and it takes place just once. One result of this is that every representation of a performance be it as text, discussion or film refers to the past. Performative social research solves this paradox by conceptualising performance as a kind of liminal phase of a ritual. Our thesis is that by simple outsourcing the problem of present in the theory of ritual, performative techniques commit the logical mistake of genetic fallacy, i.e., the mistake of forgetting that the primary value or meaning of an event has no necessary connections with its genesis in history. Therefore, a new methodology for qualitative social research after the performative turn requires a theoretical position which does not fall back to a position of causality as the temporal consequence of a cause and effect, as maintained by ritual theory. In this essay we suggest a "non-representational theory" for this venture, and point out how a methodology for qualitative research could be constituted "after" the performative turn.

• Bare Geographies in Knowledge Societies – Creative Cities as Text and Piece of Art: Two Eyes, One Vision

  2004

  Built Environment · DOI

  What roles do cities play in knowledge societies? Do places still matter? To what extent are knowledge production processes place-bound and city-specific? This paper examines some dimensions of the multiple relationships between physically experiencing and mentally constructing the city. Primarily, this is a conceptual exercise. Thus, I read part of the literature on cities and creativity through two different conceptual lenses: representational and non-representational theory. The first lens, which I will call the 'right eye', sees the world from the point of view of abstraction and representation. The second lens, which I refer to as the 'left eye', looks at the world from the perspective of the concrete, experience, and dwelling (i.e. non-representation). Both 'eyes' are helpful as theoretical perspectives to analyse the changing role of cities in the knowledge economy. Thus, I argue for a two-eyed, stereoscopic vision of cities in knowledge-based societies.
