Cause if and insofar as 'strange' settlement formations of the kind I got to see on the return journey from Bhola, deep in the 'rural', correlate with the augumented movement of people, the narrative of urbanisation as process of concentration–extension is called into question. If other, decentring of even ex-centric, forces are impacting urban growth and reshuffling all levels of social space—the near (habitation), the middle (the city) and the far (state and its macro-level connections)—the city-hegemonic views that dominate urban studies must be abandoned once for all, and the new norm of production of space called by name.



Elisa T. Bertuzzo verbindet Diskurse der Kulturwissenschaften und der Stadtforschung, um ausgehend von ihren Beobachtungen der alltäglichen Facetten von Selbstorganisation und -ermächtigung weltweite politisch-ökonomische Abhängigkeiten kritisch zu beleuchten. Dies tut sie durch poetisch-literarische, soziologisch-analytische sowie publizistisch-programmatische Texte in wissenschaftlichen und nicht-wissenschaftlichen Publikationen. Sie ist zurzeit Gastprofessorin im Masterstudiengang "Raumstrategien" der weißensee kunsthochschule berlin.
