Dorothee Leesing is a Sessional Lecturer at the University of British Columbia. Her Ph.D. thesis ‘Engaging the high-rise in German media culture: Aspects of vertical living from 1945 to 2020’ (2021) inquires about the media reception after the arrival of high-rises in post-war Germany in regards to early digital gaming, post-migrant literature and 1950s press, with a focus on developments in West Germany. This article is a redevelopment of the chapter ‘Space is not neutral: Identity and place-making in the high-rise of Karosh Taha’s “Beschreibung einer Krabbenwanderung”’.
