Subjectivities are a relatively neglected issue in planning theory and research. This is surprising given the fact that planning can hardly be understood without considering planning subjects conceptually, namely those who are involved in planning processes. Planning politics increasingly operates as identity politics, meaning that many voices try to influence planning and its outcomes via the subjectivities of planners. In this project, I conceive of spatial planning as a collective, self-conscious place-shaping practice. When I talk of spatial planning in Germany, I refer to a legally codified type of multi-tiered planning (Raumordnung), which may include informal, participatory elements to varying degrees.The project adopts an integrative perspective on planning subjects and the wider power structures in which they are embedded and which they reproduce. The overall objective is to analyse subjectivities of planners in Germany at the interface of spatial planning at regional level and wind energy developments – given the fact that wind energy has become one of the most prominent, controversial and hence emblematic issues of spatial planning at regional level in Germany. The project draws on poststructuralist – or postfoundational – theories of identity-construction in combination with Foucault’s notion of governmentality. These theories assume that the subject is not the origin of social relations, but to some extent a product of discursively constructed identities and practices. Hence, subjectivities shall be analysed in this project as resulting from the interplay of subjectification, i.e. discursively produced power/knowledge structures that subjugate individuals and transform them into subjects, and subjectivation, i.e. practices by means of which an individual shapes her/himself. The subjectivities of planners are to be interpreted against the backdrop of different arts of government such as sovereignty or neoliberalism. In so doing, the project shall advance planning theory in general.Methodologically, the project relies on textual analyses and narrative interviews with planners in combination with coding techniques. The selection of textual documents and interviewees follows a logic of maximum variation to cover as broad a spectrum of subject positions and forms of subjectivation as possible. The textual analyses are conducted on German-language planning literature as well as guidance documents, handbooks and web portals on public participation and consultation procedures – always in the context of spatial planning at regional level and wind energy. The intention is to interview about 15 individuals. The research design and findings will be presented and discussed at a public conference.

主观性是规划理论和研究中相对被忽视的问题，因为如果不从概念上考虑规划主体（即那些参与规划过程的人）就很难理解规划，这意味着许多人越来越多地以身份政治的方式运作。在这个项目中，我将空间规划视为一种集体的、自觉的场所塑造实践，当我谈到德国的空间规划时，我指的是法律上的编纂。多层类型规划（Raumordnung），其中可能包括不同程度的非正式的、参与性的元素。该项目对规划主体以及它们所嵌入和复制的更广泛的权力结构采取了综合的视角。总体目标是分析规划者的主观性。德国处于区域层面空间规划与风能开发的交汇处——鉴于风能已成为德国区域层面空间规划最突出、最具争议性和最具代表性的问题之一，该项目借鉴了这一事实。后结构主义或后基础主义的身份建构理论与福柯的治理术概念相结合，这些理论假设主体不是社会关系的起源，而是在某种程度上话语建构的身份和实践的产物。在这个项目中分析为主体化（即话语产生的权力/知识结构，征服个人并将其转变为主体）和主体化（即实践）相互作用的结果规划者的主观性应在不同的政府艺术（例如主权或新自由主义）的背景下进行解释。这样做，该项目将总体上推进规划理论。在方法论上，该项目依赖于。文本分析和与规划者的叙述性访谈结合编码技术，文本文件和受访者的选择遵循最大变化的逻辑，以尽可能广泛地涵盖主题立场和主观化形式。关于公众参与和咨询程序的德语规划文献以及指导文件、手册和门户网站——始终以区域层面的空间规划和风能为背景。研究设计和结果。将在公开会议上提出和讨论。
