My main field of research is the city. I am interested in how cities articulate and shape human culture, and the ways in which artifacts, public rituals and spatial patterns both express and promote ways to organize society. As an extension of this, and with a particular focus on Germany and Argentina, I am interested in the ways in which society addresses traumatic historical events through urban interventions. I am also interested in literary and cinematographic representations of cities and metropolitan life styles and memory cultures.
