Protest and Resistance in the Tourist City
Across the globe, from established tourist destinations such as Venice or Prague to less traditional destinations in both the global North and South, there is mounting evidence that points to an increasing politicization of the topic of urban tourism. In some cities, residents and other stakeholders take issue with the growth of tourism as such, as well as the negative impacts it has on their cities; while in others, particular forms and effects of tourism are contested or deplored. In numerous settings, contestations revolve less around tourism itself than around broader processes, policies and forces of urban change perceived to threaten the right to ‘stay put’, the quality of life or ...

Platformization of Urban Life
The increasing platformization of urban life needs critical perspectives to examine changing everyday practices and power shifts brought about by the expansion of digital platforms mediating care-services, housing, and mobility. This book addresses new modes of producing urban spaces and societies. It brings both platform researchers and activists from various fields related to critical urban studies and labour activism into dialogue. The contributors engage with the socio-spatial and normative implications of platform-mediated urban everyday life and urban futures, going beyond a rigid techno-dystopian stance in order to include an understanding of platforms as sites of social creativity and exchange.
Tourism and Everyday Life in the Contemporary City
This book explores the phenomena of the urban everyday and new urban tourism. It provides a systematic framework and draws on a mix of theoretical and empirical work to look at the increasing intermingling of ‘tourists’ and ‘residents’. Tourism and urban everyday life are deeply connected in a mutually constitutive way. Tourism has become a key momentum of urban development and affects cities beyond its economic dimension. Urban everyday life itself can turn into a matter of tourist interest for people searching for experiences off the beaten track.

Sonsbeck
Im Jahre 2003 feierte das niederrheinische Sonsbeck die 800. Wiederkehr der Ersterwahnung und der Bildung seiner Pfarre. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert war das Kirchspiel Sonsbeck eines der Zentren der Binnenkolonisation der Grafschaft Kleve, eines in der rheinischen Geschichte beispiellosen Landgewinnungsprogramms. In diesem Zusammenhang grundeten 1320 die Grafen von Kleve neben der alteren Siedlung mit der Pfarrkirche und im Anschluss an ihre Burg die Stadt Sonsbeck. Die neue Stadt, in der die Landesherren als wichtigsten Wirtschaftszweig das Tuchgewerbe ansiedelten, erlebte im 15. Jahrhundert ihre Blutezeit. Diese fand den ausseren Ausdruck im Bau einer reprasentativen innerstadtischen Pfarrkirche. Der Niedergang setzte mit dem Stadtbrand von 1517 ein. Im 17. Jahrhundert kam in der kleinen Stadt das Topfergewerbe auf, das mit verschiedenen Sparten und Produkten bis ins 20. Jahrhundert dort vertreten blieb. Die Franzosische Zeit brachte 1798 den Verlust des Stadtrechts. Verarbeitende Betriebe, Handel und Dienstleistungsgewerbe pragen die Wirtschaftsstruktur der 1969 gebildeten heutigen Gemeinde.
