Maker Made: Creating a Silicon Place in Berlin, Germany A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Leonore Phillips IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Karen Ho December 2016 © Leonore Phillips 2016 Acknowledgements I am very thankful and grateful for the generous support and guidance I have had in developing my research and writing my dissertation. I am especially appreciative of Karen Ho, my advisor, whose feedback, critique and conversation were instrumental in helping me in all aspects of this dissertation. I am also indebted to my dissertation committee for their feedback, guidance and intellectual stimulation: David Valentine, Thomas Misa and Thomas Wolfe. Although from diverse sub-areas of anthropology and history, each member of my committee brought unique and fascinating insight into my topic of study. I also want to thank my colleagues in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota and a special thanks to my fellow writing group members Heather O’Leary and Kristy Golubiewski-Davis. The generous financial support of the William Stout Fellowship, the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) dissertation research grant, and the Hella Mears summer fellowship helped fund both my research in the field and my writing back at home. I am also thankful for the financial support from the Anthropology Department both in teaching positions and summer block grants. Without financial support, none of my research would have been possible. Finally, I must express my heartfelt gratitude to my family who has weathered my PhD with patience, curiosity and a great deal of help. Thank you to my husband, Branden Phillips, who helped keep me going when I was down and to my mother, Debra Heins, for the daunting task of proofing this dissertation. Both Branden and my mom have been more than generous; helping me in many ways, including much needed childcare. I also want to thank my father, Karl Heins, who introduced me to computers and provided sound feedback on my research findings while I was in the field. Unfortunately, he passed away before he could see the completion of my work. Without my family, this journey would have been longer and lonelier; I love you and thank you. i Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my father, Karl Henry Heins. Growing up in California in the 90s, my father introduced me to computers, the internet and to Silicon Valley. The seed from these early experiences has stayed with me and bloomed into my PhD work and this dissertation. My dad was especially supportive during my fieldwork and provided me sound advice and feedback about startups and business communities; his pride in me never wavered. Unfortunately, he died before I could finish my dissertation and earn my PhD. I wish he could see my work, and I miss him terribly. This dissertation is for you dad. ii Abstract Drawing on the inspiration that Silicon Valley provides, this dissertation is about the way Silicon Allee in Berlin Germany is made by workers, students, bureaucrats and even the larger population of Berlin. Silicon Allee is a community; it’s a matrix of interconnected people, machines, ideas, places and words that are changing, connecting, disconnecting, and reconnecting; maintained through webpages, text messages, classrooms, university spaces, meetups, camps, tweets, coworking sites, coffee shop talk and offices. In this age of ultra-information and continuous connections that can span the globe in seconds, Berlin’s Silicon Allee is also embedded in a larger culture of computing that both ignores and reinforces boundaries. I use this dissertation to explore the way that these boundaries are made, unmade and revised both locally, nationally and globally through discourses on and practices of work. iii Table of Contents Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. i Dedication ........................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................... iv Chapter 1: Introduction ....................................................................................................... 1 II.

    A Genealogical Handbook of German Research

    Family History Library • 35 North West Temple Street • Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400 USA A GENEALOGICAL HANDBOOK OF GERMAN RESEARCH REVISED EDITION 1980 By Larry O. Jensen P.O. Box 441 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062 Copyright © 1996, by Larry O. Jensen All rights reserved. No part of this work may be translated or reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, including photocopying, without permission in writing from the author. Printed in the U.S.A. INTRODUCTION There are many different aspects of German research that could and maybe should be covered; but it is not the intention of this book even to try to cover the majority of these. Too often when genealogical texts are written on German research, the tendency has been to generalize. Because of the historical, political, and environmental background of this country, that is one thing that should not be done. In Germany the records vary as far as types, time period, contents, and use from one kingdom to the next and even between areas within the same kingdom. In addition to the variation in record types there are also research problems concerning the use of different calendars and naming practices that also vary from area to area. Before one can successfully begin doing research in Germany there are certain things that he must know. There are certain references, problems and procedures that will affect how one does research regardless of the area in Germany where he intends to do research. The purpose of this book is to set forth those things that a person must know and do to succeed in his Germanic research, whether he is just beginning or whether he is advanced.

    Berlin - Wikipedia

    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

Making Markets and Constructing Crises: A Review of Ho’s Liquidated Abstract This book review is a beginning academic researcher’s interpretation of the robust methods and rich data Ho presents in her study of investment banking culture and the market in Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street (2009). A unique contribution of the text is Ho’s combining of ethnographic methods in order to practice polymorphous engagement in her study. A weakness of the text is Ho’s lacking autoethnographic analysis of her experience as an Asian American woman on Wall Street. The book will be helpful for a scholarly audience interested in studying rigorous ethnographic methodologies and exploring the culture of Wall Street.

My interest in understanding the transformations in women’s experiences in male-dominated professions began when I was a child in the seventies, listening to my grandmother tell me stories about her own experiences as one of the only women at the University of Penn- sylvania Law School in the twenties. I also remember hearing my mother, as I grew up, speaking about women’s rights, as well as visiting my father and grandfather at their law office in midtown Manhattan: there, while still in elementary school, I spoke to the sole female lawyer in the firm about her career. My interests in women and gender studies only grew during my time as an undergraduate at Barnard College.
