Großstadt-Roman von Volker Heise
Wo Menschen nur ein Rohstoff sind
Novela de la ciudad de Volker Heise
Donde los humanos son solo una materia prima
…
"Die Stadt ist ja nicht Los Angeles oder Baltimore,
wo Schießereien an der Tagesordnung sind,
weil die Armut um sich ballert"
- vielleicht ist es nur ein Zufall,
dass Volker Heise einen jungen Berliner Arzt ausgerechnet an diese beiden US-Großstädte denken lässt,
als sich zum ersten Mal mit einer Schusswunde konfrontiert sieht.
Aber die Referenz zu zwei großen Werken der Sozialgeografie ist somit gesetzt:
"City of Quartz",
Mike Davis' visionäre Erkundung von L.A.,
und David Simons TV-Serie "The Wire",
die zeigt, wie Baltimore vor die Hunde gehen kann,
wenn sich nur alle genügend Mühe geben.
…
"La ciudad no es Los Ángeles o Baltimore,
donde los tiroteos están a la orden del día,
porque la pobreza está disparando "
- tal vez es solo una coincidencia
que Volker Heise hace que un joven médico de Berlín piense en estas dos grandes ciudades de EE. UU.
cuando se enfrenta con una herida de bala por primera vez.
Pero la referencia a dos grandes obras de geografía social se establece así:
"Ciudad de Cuarzo",
La exploración visionaria de Mike Davis de L.A.,
y la serie de televisión de David Simon "The Wire",
eso muestra cómo Baltimore puede ir a los perros,
si solo todos dan suficientes problemas.
…
City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles is a 1990 book by Mike Davis examining how contemporary Los Angeles has been shaped by different powerful forces in its history. The book opens with Davis visiting the ruins of the socialist community of Llano, organized in 1914 in what is now the Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles. The community moved in 1918, leaving behind the "ghost" of an alternative future for LA.
Davis then explores intellectuals' competing ideas of Los Angeles, from the "sunshine" promoted by real estate boosters early in the 20th century, to the "debunkers," the muckraking journalists of the early century, to the "noir" writers of the 1930s and the exiles fleeing from fascism in Europe, and finally the "sorcerers," the scientists at Caltech.
The rest of the book explores how different groups wielded power in different ways: the downtown Protestant elite, led by the Chandler family of the Los Angeles Times, and the new elite of the Jewish westside; the surprisingly powerful homeowner groups, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Catholic Church. The book concludes at what Davis calls the "junkyard of dreams," the former steel town of Fontana, east of LA, a victim of de-industrialization and decay.
The 2nd edition of the book, published in 2006, contains a new preface detailing changes in Los Angeles since the work was written in the late 1980s
City of Quartz: Excavating the Future en Los Angeles es un libro de 1990 de Mike Davis que examina cómo la Los Angeles contemporánea ha sido moldeada por diferentes fuerzas poderosas en su historia. El libro comienza con Davis visitando las ruinas de la comunidad socialista de Llano, organizada en 1914 en lo que hoy es el Valle del Antílope al norte de Los Ángeles. La comunidad se mudó en 1918, dejando atrás el "fantasma" de un futuro alternativo para Los Ángeles.
Davis luego explora las ideas competitivas de Los Ángeles de los intelectuales, desde el "rayo de sol" promovido por los promotores inmobiliarios a principios del siglo XX, a los "detractores", los periodistas deshonestos de principios de siglo, a los escritores "noir" de los años treinta y los exiliados que huyen del fascismo en Europa, y finalmente los "hechiceros", los científicos de Caltech.
El resto del libro explora cómo los diferentes grupos ejercen el poder de diferentes maneras: la elite protestante del centro, dirigida por la familia Chandler de Los Angeles Times, y la nueva élite del lado oeste judío; los sorprendentemente poderosos grupos de propietarios, el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles y la Iglesia Católica. El libro concluye en lo que Davis llama el "depósito de chatarra de los sueños", la antigua ciudad siderúrgica de Fontana, al este de Los Ángeles, una víctima de la desindustrialización y la decadencia.
La segunda edición del libro, publicada en 2006, contiene un nuevo prefacio que detalla los cambios en Los Ángeles desde que el trabajo fue escrito a fines de la década de 1980.

Mike Davis
political activist, urban and historical theorist,
...
The five subjects are, in chronological order:
the illegal drug trade,
the seaport system,
the city government and bureaucracy,
education and schools,
and the print news media.
The large cast consists mainly
of actors who are little known for their other roles,
as well as numerous real-life Baltimore and Maryland figures
in guest and recurring roles.
Simon has said that despite its framing as a crime drama,
the show is "really about the American city,
and about how we live together.
It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals.
Whether one is a cop,
a longshoreman,
a drug dealer,
a politician,
a judge
or a lawyer,
all are ultimately compromised
and must contend with whatever institution to which they are committed.
Los cinco temas son, en orden cronológico:
el tráfico de drogas ilegales,
el sistema de puerto,
el gobierno de la ciudad y la burocracia,
educación y escuelas,
y los medios de comunicación impresos.
El elenco grande consiste principalmente
de actores que son poco conocidos por sus otros papeles,
así como numerosas figuras de la vida real de Baltimore y Maryland
en papeles invitados y recurrentes.
Simon ha dicho que a pesar de su encuadre como un drama criminal,
el espectáculo es "realmente sobre la ciudad estadounidense,
y sobre cómo vivimos juntos.
Se trata de cómo las instituciones tienen un efecto en las personas.
Si uno es policía,
un estibador,
un traficante de drogas,
un político,
un juez
o un abogado,
todos están en última instancia comprometidos
y debe lidiar con cualquier institución a la que están comprometidos.
