Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Florian

  • the knowledge society [Gaventa, John: The Powerful, the Powerless, and the Experts]
    • Society has shiftet from an industrial one to a "knowledge society". Nowadays the knowledge producing industries like education, reasearch, development, media and communication are the most important ones. Scientific expertise is of a higher value than experience. Thereby people are disadvantaged and more powerless by having less scientific knowledge.
  • research with the people [Gaventa, John: The Powerful, the Powerless, and the Experts]
    • To narrow the gap of knowledge in society, professionals need to research with the people. Thereby socially powerless groups can get into action. The researcher (the expert) starts with questions risen by the powerless groups and gives them back comprehensive information.
  • towards a knowledge democracy [Gaventa, John: The Powerful, the Powerless, and the Experts]
    • The economic production is controlled by a few people of dominant knowledge. This needs to be changed to realize a real political democracy.

Author 2: Negar Rezaei Azghandi

  • [Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014]
    • Exposing the landscape crisis for the society and people through the movies, because sometimes the natural environment are interfered by the human.
  • [Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014]
    • Utilization of real landscape in making a movie as a cinematic landscape. Because, Cinematic landscape is often the result of all kinds of trickery.
  • [Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In: Topos, No. 88, 2014]
    • Importance of authenticity of landscape especially for making films when it plays an important role and also using the landscape as a kind of mirror of feelings.

Author 3: Luca Maresi

  • Imageability[Lynch, Kevin. (1960): The Image of the City, Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press]
    • It's the "quality in a physical object wich gives it a high probaility of evoking a strong image in any given observer" that it's essential to the city's buildings in order to create a link of affinity in the two way process between the inhabitant and the city itself.
  • Equilibrium [Lynch, Kevin. (1960): The Image of the City, Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press]
    • To be percevied as whole, organic and beautiful the city needs a correct interrelation between its elements, paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks avoioding the over-concentration of elements in different areas that tear apart the urban fabric and create inequalities.
  • Direct Analysis [Lynch, Kevin. (1960): The Image of the City, Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press]
    • The analysis of the esxisting is essential and a good starting point of every consideration but most of all, expecially facing different realities, the contact with the people who live everyday those cities is vital to have a complete scheme of inner and esternal views.
