Under the influence of political and social discourses as a result of 9/11 and the Orientalist allegations on the part of Arab intellectuals, Lars Gaiser developed a new action-oriented approach, which he has tested in four everyday situations: ‘enabling formation,’ ‘sharing neighbourhood,’ ‘obtaining housing’ and ‘giving living space.’ By analysing all possible options, which are derived from these everyday situations, and by using numerous case studies, he provides a deep insight into the largely divergent social conditions in Cairo which contributed to the mass uprisings.

German description: Unter dem Eindruck des politisch-gesellschaftlichen Diskurses infolge des 11. Septembers 2001 und der Orientalismusvorwurfe von Seiten arabischer Intellektueller hat Lars Gaiser einen neuen handlungszentrierten Forschungsansatz entwickelt, den er am Beispiel der vier Alltagssituationen “Bildung ermoglichen”, “Nachbarschaft gewahren”, “Wohnraum beschaffen” sowie “Wohnraum gewahren” getestet hat. Durch die Analyse samtlicher mit diesen Alltagssituationen verbundenen Handlungsoptionen und unter Verwendung zahlreicher Fallbeispiele verschafft er dem Leser einen Einblick in die disparaten gesellschaftlichen Verhaltnisse in Kairo unmittelbar vor den Massenaufstanden.

“The thesis of Mr. Gaiser allows [...] a deep insight into the actions of an urban society in the Arab world. Using his newly developed epistemological concept, he succeeds in an excellent way to document the lives and practices in this society not only [scientifically] accurate but also vivid and thus very understandable.”<br/>Prof. Dr. Horst Kopp, Arab Geographer and supervisor of Dr. Gaiser’s theses<br/><br/>“The factually logical structured methodology design helped him to penetrate [...] deeply into the theme. His implementation in three steps – records of everyday life actions (case studies), categorisation and analysis – is a pleasure. He deliberates the results of the singular arbitrariness and protects them from an over-exaggerated subjectivism. He created a complex but nonetheless clear picture comprising many individual insights into people's lives.”<br/>Prof. Dr. Rainer Uphues, Chair of Didactics of Geography, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg<br/><br/>“Dr. Gaiser draws his knowledge from his extraordinary in situ knowledge built up over many years, his erudition (his multilingual skills allow him to read books written by authors from different cultural backgrounds) and from his well-founded multi-disciplinary studies in Germany and Egypt.”<br/>Prof. Dr. Muhammad Abu Hattab, founding dean of the Alsun Faculty in Al-Minya University (Upper Egypt)<br/>
