All too often, urban studies scholars have approached
transnationalism as a zero-sum game in which localities,
regionalities, and nationalities are suppressed in favor of a
globalized set of identities. At least in the German case, however,
globalization has if anything reinvigorated localism, with local
and regional identities exhibiting far more continuity than the
multiply disrupted national space. As this marvelously varied
collection demonstrates, the urban environment has become a site of
"translocal" re-territorialization in which actors do not entrench
themselves in opposition to globalization, but practice a
dialectical adaptation. Bringing together scholars from
anthropology, architecture, cultural studies, history, and urban
planning, this volume offers empirically and theoretically rich
essays to help deflate myths about the presumed dissolution of the
urban environment's multiple particularities. Together they
conceptually reconfigure the German city to reveal a transnational
set of processes intermingled within the local, regional, and
national spheres.
