| Title: |
Anchorage and Dialogue: Tensions between Planning and Local Democracy |
| Description: |
The thesis focuses on how local planners prepared, implemented and followed up a dialogue with the inhabitants in Alby, a multicultural community. The planners based their work on the ambition that everything done to develop Alby should be anchored among the residents in a democratic manner. The study analyses this, using a combination of different action-theoretic approaches: normative together with genealogic approaches on power and rhetoric. To make use of these action theories in a multicultural community the thesis explores radical feminism (situated knowledge) and postcolonial theory. Methodologically, the study is based on participatory observation. |
