Abstract
Having established the historical and structural context for Karl-Marx-Straße’s contemporary daily life as well as for local businesses’ survival, this chapter elaborates further on the underlying theoretical concepts that informed the selection process of certain businesses along Karl-Marx-Straße in order to explain why businesses are special sites for interaction and what kinds of interactions occur there. Subsequent chapters will explain the sampling of the specific types of businesses that constitute social life in Berlin-Neukölln.
