Summary:

Der Band zeigt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf das Konzept der deklarativen Stadt auf, die von semiotischer Komplexität und Widersprüchlichkeit gekennzeichnet ist. Die Beiträge aus der Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft, der Kunst(geschichte), der Diskursanalyse, aber auch aus stadtplanerischer Perspektive beleuchten deklarative und diskursive Praktiken in unterschiedlichen sozialen, kulturellen, ästhetischen sowie historischen Zusammenhängen.

This volume looks at the concept of the declarative city from an interdisciplinary perspective, comprising literary and linguistic studies, arts and art history, discourse analysis, as well as urban planning. The various contributions demonstrate the semiotic complexity and inconsistency of declarative and discursive practices in different social, cultural, aesthetic, and historical contexts.
