TY - GEN A1 - Gribat, Nina T1 - Translating productively: texts, contexts and concepts T2 - People, Place and Policy N2 - This paper examines the role of language and translation in social science research with a focus on methodological issues. So far, these have received relatively little attention in publications on social science methodologies as well as in lively language-related debates in human geography journals of recent years. The lack of methodological concern is surprising, as there seems to be an increasing interest in international and comparative research and practice. However, the literature suggests that in order to draw out the political implications of translation, which are otherwise glossed over, it needs to go beyond transferring text from source language to target language as a seamless reproduction of the original. Like this, it becomes an issue of methodological concern. I therefore suggest approaching translation as a productive open-ended process that pays close attention to specificities of contexts and concepts and makes cultural difference visible throughout the research process. This approach aims at decentring taken-for-granted assumptions about the clarity of meaning in the source as well as in the target language. In reviewing the existing literature on issues of language, power and translation this paper builds on my experiences of doing a PhD as a foreign student in England.

Based on qualitative case studies in secondary cities in Ghana and interviews with key stakeholders, my contribution shows some implications of limited capacities of planning and policy making and a low degree of organised civil society. In contrast to this, the high degree of self-provisioning of the local people provides potential starting points for co-production. This actual gap on the ground between the ordinary people's capacity to organise and administrate, and the government's to respond, shows some practical limitations of the rather optimistic discourse on the co-production of services.

Different practices, policies, academic research and public debates developed, which were mainly concerned with how to deal with this problem. However, the emergence of shrinkage as an urban problem in Germany and what it entails have so far rarely been examined. This includes the starting points and assumptions on which different approaches to shrinkage are based. In employing Foucault’s notion of problematisation in a research perspective of governmentality, this thesis argues that taken-for-granted practices and rationalities of governing shrinkage can be decentred and attention can be drawn to the contingencies of practices, rationalities and techniques which emerged in relation to shrinking cities. A particular focus on conflicts and contestations shows the extent to which practices and assumptions are contested or not. Fieldwork was undertaken in the city of Hoyerswerda in Saxony, once the booming Second Socialist City of the GDR, which has lost almost half its inhabitants since German Unity in 1990. The empirical material gathered comprises semi-structured interviews and a diverse set of documents. The main analytical focus was on how spaces, times, subjectivities and subjects were problematised in the future discourses and practices in Hoyerswerda and on the issues around which conflicts, contestations and counter-conducts emerged. The research found a unanimous agreement in the examined shrinkage discourses that a difference can be made locally if shrinkage is governed properly. The differences of opinion and the conflicts over policies centre around rationalities, practices and techniques of how to govern shrinkage and which spaces, times and subjectivities are considered beneficial or detrimental to the future. The main conflict in the government of shrinkage in Hoyerswerda concerns the question of how to deal with the city’s GDR past: which historical and spatial continuities to avoid or to foster and the subjectivities associated with these spaces and times.

Analysen zu Ostdeutschland N2 - Das vorliegende discussion paper geht den Fragen nach, wie Bilder den Wandel in Ostdeutschland beeinflussen und wie sie Handlungsspielräume einschränken oder erweitern. Die Rolle von Bildern ist in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung nur bedingt ausgeleuchtet, aber für ganz unterschiedliche Disziplinen von Interesse. Angesichts der Faszination des Themas und des Mangels an geeigneten Methoden und Theorien wählt das discussion paper einen interdisziplinären, experimentellen und explorativen Zugang zum Gegenstand. Es beruht auf den Ergebnissen des Work-shops “Bilder des Wandels – Wandel der Bilder in Ostdeutschland”, der vom Nachwuchsnetzwerk Ostdeutschlandforschung im April 2008 durchgeführt wurde. Grundlage war ein weiter Bildbegriff, der Illustrationen, bildende Künste, Fotos, Diagram-me, aber auch verbale Bilder wie Metaphern, Entwürfe und Leitbilder umfasst. Im Workshop haben die Teilnehmer/innen zunächst Bilder des Wandels in Ostdeutschland selbst skizziert und dann mit diesem „empirischen“ Bildmaterial weiter-gearbeitet. Das Ergebnis war die Bildung von drei Bildtypen: Zustandsbeschreibungen, Zukunftsbilder und Schreckensbilder. Mit Hilfe dieser drei Typen können die Bilder des Wandels nicht nur analysiert, sondern auch geordnet und in einen weite-ren (Bilder-)Kontext gestellt werden. Auf diese Weise können insbesondere solche Bilder einer systematischen Betrachtung unterzogen werden, die in gesellschaftspolitischen Debatten benutzt und teilweise strategisch in Szene gesetzt werden.
