Sophie Hochh\xe4usl in Conversation with Emmanuel Olunkwa. \nIn episode #91, CCCP student Emmanuel Olunkwa speaks with architectural historian Sophie Hochh\xe4usl. Hochh\xe4usl is an Assistant Professor for Architectural History and Theory at the University of Pennsylvania. Her scholarly work centers on modern architecture and urban culture in Austria, Germany, and the United States, with a focus on the history of social movements, gender studies, and environmental history. \nToday, Austrian architect Margarete Sch\xfctte-Lihotzky (1897-2000) has been widely recognized as one of the most significant female figures in modern design who worked in Austria, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Turkey in the 1920s and 1930s. These decades of professional work were marked by a drastic break between 1940 and 1945, when Sch\xfctte-Lihotzky was interned for her participation in the Communist resistance against the Nazi regime. Her recollections from the years of internment became the subject of the 1984 German-language book \u201cErinnerungen aus dem Widerstand (Memories of the Resistance).\u201d\nIn this episode, Sophie Hochh\xe4usl discusses her book \u201cMemories of the Resistance: Margarete Sch\xfctte-Lihotzky and the Architecture of Collective Dissidence, 1919-1989,\u201d which explores the architect's book as a critical historical document that exemplifies the spatialization of organized dissent in the 1940s. It provides a glimpse into resistance as lived practice and how dissent became activated by solidarity and collective action. \nThe episode was recorded following Sophie Hochh\xe4usl\u2019s Detlef Mertins Lecture on the Histories of Modernity at GSAPP on February 24, 2020.
