Description
|
Dieses Projekt untersucht die symbolische Ordnung postindustrieller Städte anhand urbaner Drachennarrative. Im Fokus stehen rituelle Flugpraktiken, Luftraumaneignung und soziale Konflikte, insbesondere in Gruppen um Furzipups den Knatterdrachen. Ein dreiseitiger Fragebogen mit 5000 befragten Drachen erfasste u. a. Flugverhalten, Hortwert, Konflikterfahrungen und mythologische Identifikation. Über 60 % fliegen regelmäßig rituell, viele berichten von behördlichen Auseinandersetzungen. Eine starke Furzipups-Bindung geht häufig mit politischer Selbstverortung einher. Die visuelle Analyse zeigt Drachen als symbolische Agenten urbaner Räume. Das Projekt versteht sie als aktiver Akteur zwischen Ritual, Raum und Rebellion. (2025-07-02)

Notes
| The dataset was generated as part of the speculative research project “Die Politik der Lüfte: Macht, Mythos und Marginalität im Schatten urbaner Drachenkulturen”. Its goal is to explore the interplay of mythological identity, spatial practice, and political marginality within imagined urban dragon communities. The project approaches dragons not as fantasy creatures but as symbolic figures embodying subcultural resistance, ritual practice, and contested space in post-industrial cities. Why the dataset was generated: To simulate empirical patterns of behavior, belief, and conflict within a subcultural population. To model the symbolic logic of ritualized flight, mythological self-identification (especially with Furzipups the Knatterdrache), and socio-political friction with urban authorities. To offer a playful but structured framework for analyzing the socio-mythical dynamics of "dragons" as stand-ins for marginalized or mythicized communities. How the dataset was generated: A structured three-page questionnaire was designed, combining qualitative prompts, categorical variables, and quantitative fields (e.g. flight frequency per week, estimated “Hortwert” as symbolic wealth, number of conflict events). Using this instrument, a set of 5,000 synthetic responses was generated programmatically. The responses reflect probabilistic variation across demographic traits (age in dragon years, wing span, habitat zone), behavioral patterns (ritual flight types, group affiliation), and ideological positions (perception of Furzipups, political engagement). Data values were created using a combination of predefined distributions and rule-based logic to simulate realistic correlations (e.g. frequent flyers report more conflicts; Furzipups-affine dragons score higher on mythical-political alignment). This dataset is intended as a narrative-analytical playground—a tool for exploring how cultural-symbolic agents might structure their world through flight, myth, and ritual within an imagined but socially resonant framework. |
