- Title
Die Doxa der Kritik: Bietet die Eigenlogik der Städte Potenziale für eine kritische Stadtsoziologie?

- Abstract
The aim of this article is to demonstrate the potential of the intrinsic logic of the cities for critical urban research. The perspective of the inherent logic of cities provides a reconstruction of urban everyday certainties (doxa). However, critical urban research should deconstruct them (»destruction of the doxa«, Wacquant). The Flussbad Berlin is used to illustrate how the thematization of this project as »typically Berlin« structures political decisions. The intrinsic logic of the cities then complements critical urban sociology by highlighting the knowledge-political power of idiosyncratic discourses. Since leading politicians are enthusiastic about the supposedly innovative project, urban studies should also put this under the suspicion of doxa, so that its critique does not get lost in stereotypical language games.
