Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Global Cities are strategic nodes of globalizing processes. Here, effects of globalization become visible: Migration processes, high availability of commodities and a high differentiated food system that satisfy (basic) needs of different pressure groups cause cities to be of interest to social scientists, especially food anthropologists. Consumption patterns of different ethnic, social, religious and other groups and their valuation within urban societies show the complexity of different urban life-styles. Places (street food, supermarkets, etc.), practices (festivals, ceremonies, etc.) and unique urban areas (public spaces, museums, etc.) are of high anthropological interest because an analysis makes visible differences/similarities between and within selected target groups.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The course introduces anthropological theory and practice about consumption in urban contexts. The students are enabled to identify and analyse research fields of consumption anthropology through studying anthropological texts and doing fieldwork in the city. Processes of appreciation and devaluation of consumer practices are shown as integral part of emphasizing differences in urban societies. The importance of materiality in urban contexts will become unveiled on different social levels and ranks.
