Building on Marxist, feminist, queer, and critical race theory as well as the ontological turn in urban studies, they propose a mode of analysis that resists the staple of siloed categories such as urban “economy,” “society,” and “politics.” In addition to addressing key concepts of urban studies such as dispossession and scale, the contributors examine the infrastructures of plutocratic life in London, reconfigure notions of gentrification as a process of racial banishment, and seek out alternative archives for knowledge about urban density. They also present case studies of city life in the margins and peripheries of São Paulo, Kinshasa, Nairobi, and Jakarta. In so doing, they offer a foundation for better understanding the connective and aggregative forces of city-making and the entanglements and relations that constitute cities and their everyday politics. date: 2022-06 date_type: published publisher: Duke University Press official_url: https://www.dukeupress.edu/grammars-of-the-urban-ground full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1970667 isbn_13: 978-1-4780-1833-9 lyricists_name: Thieme, Tatiana lyricists_id: TATHI15 actors_name: Thieme, Tatiana actors_id: TATHI15 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted place_of_pub: Durham, UK pagerange: 180-198 book_title: Grammars of the Urban Ground editors_name: Amin, Ash editors_name: Lancione, Michele citation: Pieterse, Edgar; Thieme, Tatiana; (2022) Affirmative Vocabularies from and for the Street.
