PhD-Project

“Il faut cultiver votre jardin” (Voltaire).
To a 'Politic of Friendship' in Community Gardens: a franco-german perspective.

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Bröckling

Tutor: Prof. Dr. Gisela Riechert

 

This research project straddles the disciplines of the sociology of social movements and political theory and aims to explore the social phenomenon of ‘urban gardening’ in its political context. As an indicator of social change in microcosm, such gardens function as an ‘image’ of the communitarian phenomenon as well as heterotopic places (Foucault) that naturally can also be seen as a social experiment.

Because the complex nature of the social connectivity of friendship means that it sits directly on the boundary between the private or intimate realm and the corporate realm, the negotiation of division or re-division between the public and private spheres are particularly visible in its forms of expression. Therefore the empirical part of this dissertation will lay particular focus on the sociality of friendship. I will also argue that, in the context of the natural and social environment of the community gardens, this practice of friendship possesses a particular political impetus. This can be seen in the utopian vision of the gardens as symbolic places in common, multiple ownership, as well as in their every day dimension as a location for social and political practices.

The following research questions will be considered:

  • To what extent are these gardens the locus for political experimentation or the escapist retreat into the private realm?
  • In what ways do the social structures of friendship interact with the political impetuses behind the community gardens?
  • Which models of subjectivation are reflected in these gardens?
  • To what extent do tensions deriving from traditional modes of political domination persist in the running of these gardens?
 
These questions will be addressed by means of a qualitative study of a number of community gardens in France and in Germany (Paris, Nice, Berlin and Freiburg); observer participation will be the main mode of research. The reality of field research and ‘grounded theory’ means that these research question may need to be refined and revised during the research process. This sociological empirical approach will be supplemented by a cultural and historical study of the forerunners of the community gardens within the context of the history of ideas, ideas of social utopianism and modern social experimentation.
