As a recording device, photography plays a unique role in how we remember places and events that happened there. This includes recording events as they happen, or recording places where something occurred before the photograph was taken, commonly referred to as aftermath photography. This book presents a theoretical and historical analysis of German photography of place after 1945. It analyses how major historical ruptures in twentieth-century Germany and associated places of trauma, memory and history affected the visual field and the circumstances of looking. These ruptures are used to generate a new reading of postwar German photography of place. The analysis includes original research on world-renowned German photographers such as Thomas Struth, Thomas Demand, Michael Schmidt, Boris Becker and Thomas Ruff as well as photographers largely unknown in the Anglophone world.

This book draws on a wide range of conceptual and empirical materials to identify and examine planning and policy approaches that move beyond the imperative of perpetual economic growth. It sketches out a path towards planning theories and practices that can break the cyclical process of urban expansion, crises, and recovery that negatively affect ecosystems and human lives. To reduce the dramatic social and environmental impact of urbanization, this book offers both a critique of growth-led urban development and a prefiguration of ecologically regenerative and socially just ways of organizing cities and regions. It uncovers emerging possibilities for post-growth planning in the fields of collective housing, mobility, urban commoning, ecological land-use, urban–rural symbiosis, and alternative planning worldviews. It provides a toolkit of concepts and real-life examples for urban scholars, urbanists, activists, architects, and designers seeking to make cities prosper within planetary boundaries. This book speaks to both experts and beginners in post-growth thinking. It concludes with a manifesto and glossary of key terms for urban scholars, students, and practitioners.
Windige Gefilde, stürmische Nacht Luft, das unsichtbare und flüchtigste Element, kann leicht, angenehm und erfrischend sein, aber auch gewaltig auftreten. Ein Sturm entwurzelt Bäume, reißt Dächer davon oder weht Menschen über Klippen. Die urgewaltige Kraft des Windes gilt als Sinnbild für den Zorn der Götter. Andererseits sind es die leisen Töne, die ein Lüftlein bläst, die unsere Seele und Kreativität beflügeln. In der Luft liegt die Magie des Geistes, sie ist das Element der Kommunikation, der Beweglichkeit des Verstandes und der Vielseitigkeit. Sie steht auch für das Knistern im Raum, wenn es zu atmosphärischen Spannungen kommt, und die gewitterähnliche Entladung, die oft ...
