Overview

Ethnographic study uncovers experimental spatial practices in urban shared spaces, highlighting how grassroots inhabitation resists political bordering and reshapes collective city life.

Key Points

To examine how everyday spatial practices and shared sites in Berlin foster experimental modes of inhabitation and political resistance against urban exclusion and border regimes.
Longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Berlin from 2017 onwards.
Qualitative analysis of three shared spatial typologies: the field, the stage, and the café.
Everyday inhabitation acts as a prefigurative political rehearsal that actively resists top-down bordering and othering discourses.
Affective, material, and dramaturgical spatial practices establish a counter-archive of city-making, reframing the urban environment as an open, rewritten palimpsest.
