When I began my studies in the 1970s, my discipline of Urban and Regional Planning was a very new one at German universities and offered at only few ones, for example at the Technical University of Berlin. Women’s studies did not exist at all but it began to emerge – out of the new women’s movement and combined with the critical social and societal sciences. With the first female staffmembers employed at universities in that time, new contents and perspectives moved into academic debates. This was especially perceptible in the so-called “technical” disciplines like Architecture and Engineering, which up to that time were represented completely by men – be it as students, or above all, as teachers or even professors. The first student projects adopting these new perspectives were offered and executed by female assistants, who published their works as student and research papers. It took about 10 years, until the first real books adopting these new perspectives were published by established publishers. The volume described here “Verbaute Räume” (Misbuilt spaces) appeared with a real publishing house (Pahl-Rugenstein 1985), though rather left-wing oriented. It is however not a real book (no hardcover), but rather a narrow volume. But it was there, and it caused a little sensation, at least in the relevant interested (small, manageable) professional circles. However, it is not least special in that, in its time, it was the first volume in the “Frauen-Studien (Women’s Studies)” series published by Pahl-Rugenstein, who, between 1985 and 1989, brought out a total of 16 volumes. The final volume, in 1989, not only marked the end of the series but – due to the removal of funding from the former German Democratic Republic – also the short life of the publishing house itself. When it was written, the book was directed at women who wanted to change architecture and urban design in line with their needs. The book was however also intended to communicate findings on the specific impact architecture and urban design had on women, and in general to inform on the significance of the constructed, designed environment on life in society to a broad “engaged female public”. Critical perspectives had stepped on the scene and from now on mixed up academic contents and discourse. Today, feminist perspectives are still present at German universities, albeit perspectives have shifted: focusing more on the impact of gender relations than specifically on women’s needs. However, the future of this young and innovative research field is vulnerable and uncertain. But the body of knowledge, which has been created within the last decades, is considerable, thus shown not least by the volume that appeared on Routledge this year (Zibell, Damyanovic, and Sturm 2019). And it seems to be of particular importance to ascertain the first traces and to make them visible and conscious, also beyond the German-speaking scholarly community. This is what this Translations piece seeks to achieve.

错建空间

当我在 1970 年代开始学习时，我的城市和区域规划学科是德国大学的一个非常新的学科，只有少数几所大学开设，例如柏林工业大学。妇女研究根本不存在，但它开始出现——从新的妇女运动中出来，并与批判的社会和社会科学相结合。随着第一批女性工作人员进入大学，新的内容和观点进入了学术辩论。这在建筑和工程等所谓的“技术”学科中尤为明显，当时这些学科完全由男性代表——无论是作为学生，还是最重要的是作为教师甚至教授。第一个采用这些新观点的学生项目是由女助理提供和执行的，他们以学生和研究论文的形式发表了他们的作品。大约花了 10 年的时间，直到第一本采用这些新观点的真正书籍由知名出版商出版。此处描述的卷“Verbaute Räume”（错建空间）出现在一家真正的出版社（Pahl-Rugenstein 1985）中，尽管偏左。然而，这不是一本真正的书（没有精装本），而是一本很窄的书。但它就在那里，并且引起了一点轰动，至少在相关的感兴趣的（小而易管理的）专业圈子里是这样。然而，最特别的是，在那个时代，它是 Pahl-Rugenstein 出版的“Frauen-Studien（女性研究）”系列的第一卷，他在 1985 年至 1989 年间共出版了 16卷。1989 年的最后一卷，不仅标志着该系列的结束，而且 - 由于前德意志民主共和国的资金撤出 - 也标志着出版社本身的短暂生命。这本书在撰写时是针对想要根据自己的需求改变建筑和城市设计的女性。然而，这本书还旨在传达关于建筑和城市设计对女性的具体影响的研究结果，并总体上向广大“参与的女性公众”宣传构建、设计的环境对社会生活的重要性。批判的观点已经出现，从现在开始混淆了学术内容和话语。今天，女权主义观点仍然存在于德国大学中，尽管观点已经发生了变化：更多地关注性别关系的影响，而不是专门关注女性的需求。然而，这个年轻而创新的研究领域的未来是脆弱和不确定的。但是，在过去几十年中创造的知识体系是相当可观的，尤其是今年出现在 Routledge 上的书籍（Zibell、Damyanovic 和 Sturm，2019 年）。确定最初的痕迹并使它们可见和有意识似乎特别重要，这也超出了讲德语的学术界。这就是这篇 Translations 作品力求实现的目标。因此，尤其是今年出现在 Routledge 上的卷（Zibell、Damyanovic 和 Sturm 2019）。确定最初的痕迹并使它们可见和有意识似乎特别重要，这也超出了讲德语的学术界。这就是这篇 Translations 作品力求实现的目标。因此，尤其是今年出现在 Routledge 上的卷（Zibell、Damyanovic 和 Sturm 2019）。确定最初的痕迹并使它们可见和有意识似乎特别重要，这也超出了讲德语的学术界。这就是这篇 Translations 作品力求实现的目标。
