CONTESTED SPACE: THE HISTORY OF SQUATTING IN DIVIDED BERLIN C. 1970 – C. 1990. Peter Angus Mitchell Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics, and Archaeology University of Edinburgh 2015 In Erwägung, daß da Häuser stehen während ihr uns ohne Bleibe laßt haben wir beschlossen, jetzt dort einzuziehen weil es uns in uns'ren Löchern nicht mehr paßt. - Bertolt Brecht, Resolution der Kommunarden (1934) Wir brauchen keine Hausbesitzer, denn die Häuser gehören uns.

In doing so, it explores the relationship between urban space, opposition and conformity, mainstream and alternative cultures, as well as questions of identity and belonging in both halves of the formerly divided city. During Berlin’s history of division, illegal squatting was undertaken by a diverse range of actors from across the period’s political and Cold War divides. The practice emerged in both East and West Berlin during the early 1970s, continuing and intensifying during the following decade, before the traditions of squatting on both sides of the Berlin Wall converged in 1989-90, as the city’s – and Germany’s – physical division was overcome. -
Documentary Photography from the German Democratic Republic As a Substitute Public
humanities Article Documentary Photography from the German Democratic Republic as a Substitute Public Anne Pfautsch Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, London KT1 2QJ, UK; [email protected] Received: 25 April 2018; Accepted: 3 September 2018; Published: 10 September 2018 Abstract: This paper discusses artistic documentary photography from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from the mid-1970s until the fall of the Berlin Wall, and suggests that it functioned as a substitute public–Ersatzöffentlichkeit–in society. This concept of a substitute public sphere sometimes termed a counter-public sphere, relates to GDR literature that, in retrospect, has been allocated this role. On the whole, in critical discourse certain texts have been recognised as being distinct from GDR propaganda which sought to deliver alternative readings in their coded texts. I propose that photography, despite having had a different status to literature in the GDR, adopted similar traits and also functioned as part of a substitute public sphere. These photographers aimed to expose the existing gap between the propagandised and actual life under socialism. They embedded a moral and critical position in their photographs to comment on society and to incite debate. However, it was necessary for these debates to occur in the private sphere, so that artists and their audience would avoid state persecution. In this paper, I review Harald Hauswald’s series Everyday Life (1976–1990) to demonstrate how photographs enabled substitute discourses in visual ways. Hauswald is a representative of artistic documentary photography and although he was never published in the official GDR media, he was the first East German photographer to publish in renowned West German and European media outlets, such as GEO magazine and ZEITmagazin, before the reunification. -

From: Philipp Schorch, Daniel Habit (eds.) Curating (Post-)Socialist Environments April 2021, 344 p., pb., 76 b&w ill. 40,00 € (DE), 978-3-8376-5590-2 E-Book: PDF: 39,99 € (DE), ISBN 978-3-8394-5590-6 In which ways are environments (post-)socialist and how do they come about? How is the relationship between the built environment, memory, and debates on identity enacted? What are the spatial, material, visual, and aesthetic dimensions of these (post-) socialist enactments or interventions? And how do such (post-)socialist interventions in environments become (re)curated? By addressing these questions, this volume releases ›curation‹ from its usual museological framing and carries it into urban environments and private life-worlds, from predominantly state-sponsored institutional settings with often normative orientations into spheres of subjectification, social creativity, and ma- terial commemorative culture. Philipp Schorch is a professor of museum anthropology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Uni- versität in Munich, leading an ERC-project entitled »Indigeneities in the 21st Century«. He is also an honorary senior research associate at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on museums, ma- terial culture/history/theory, contemporary art and (post)colonial histories, the Pacific and Europe, and collaborations with Indigenous artists/curators/scholars. Daniel Habit (Dr.) is a senior lecturer at the Institute for European Ethnology and Cul- tural Analysis at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universiät in Munich, where he received his PhD with a thesis on the concept of The European Capital of Culture programme of the European Union. His current research project in cooperation with the DFG funded research group »Urban Ethics« deals with diverse processes of transformation in Bu- charest from a urban and moral anthropology perspective.
