The names of urban dispossession: A concluding commentary
This concluding commentary discusses some of the ways in which branded renaming reflects conflicts over ownership, authority, property and power. Practices of sponsored renaming and place branding are not monolithic, but this special issue shows that they are deeply rooted within neoliberal urbanism. It should therefore not be surprising that place branding is almost always contested, and often a flashpoint in struggles over urban space
Pushed off the map: Toponymy and the politics of place in New York City
This article examines conflicts over neighbourhood renaming and the politics of place. Toponymy, or the practice of place naming, is central to the constitution of place, and neighbourhood renaming is a pervasive urban strategy. But despite its prevalence, the role of neighbourhood toponymic conflict in processes of urban restructuring has not been given sustained engagement from urban scholars. This article uses archival and ethnographic data fr…
Implosions /Explosions: Towards a Study of Planetary Urbanization
In 1970, Henri Lefebvre put forward the radical hypothesis of the complete urbanization of society, a circumstance that in his view required a radical shift from the analysis of urban form to the investigation of urbanization processes. Drawing together classic and contemporary texts on the “urbanization question”, this book explores various theoretical, epistemological, methodological and political implications of Lefebvre’s hypothesis. It assem…
Neighborhood as Spatial Project: Making the Urban Order on the Downtown Brooklyn Waterfront
This article argues for a reconceptualization of one of the most basic concepts in urban studies: the neighborhood. Traditionally neighborhoods have been understood as clearly bounded, quasi-Westphalian containers or as 'natural areas' of urban community. But this approach is widely acknowledged to be under-theorized. And it fails to account for the ways in which the production of neighborhood is inherently political and often conflictual. After …

City Becoming World: Nancy, Lefebvre, and the Global-Urban Imagination
It is part of the self-conception of the contemporary era that the world is becoming increasingly global and urban. This paper explores the global-urban imagination in works by Jean-Luc Nancy and Henri Lefebvre. Both Nancy and Lefebvre understand globalization as a fundamentally violent and unequal process that unfolds through the uneven expansion of a particular sort of urban space. They both strive to articulate a critical stance towards this p…
Between abstraction and complexity: Meta-theoretical observations on the assemblage debate
Theoretical, conceptual and methodological choices must be framed in relation to concrete explanatory and interpretive dilemmas, not ontological foundations. In engaging with the limits and possibilities of recent assemblage-based work in urban studies, our concern has been to help forge new analytical tools for deciphering emerging patterns of planetary urbanization, which have unsettled the coherence and viability of earlier intellectual framew…
Assemblage urbanism and the challenges of critical urban theory
Against the background of contemporary worldwide transformations of urbanizing spaces, this paper evaluates recent efforts to mobilize the concept of 'assemblage' as the foundation for contemporary critical urban theory, with particular attention to a recent paper by McFarlane (2011a McFarlane, C. 2011a. 'Assemblage and critical urbanism'. City, 15(2): 204-224. [Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]) in this journal. We argue that there is …
Differential Age Effects in Semantic and Episodic Memory
Results from 4 experimental tasks and 8 data sets (the 4 tasks involved either multiple sessions or different stimuli) as well as a vocabulary test conducted on the same 80 participants (40 younger and 40 older adults) are reported. The authors employed 2 semantic memory tasks (lexical decision and multiplication verification) using data from 2 sessions (for a total of 4 semantic data sets) and 2 episodic memory tasks (hybrid visual search and me…
Age Differences in the Strategic Allocation of Visual Attention
The allocation of visual spatial attention was investigated in two groups of adults, younger (n = 24; M = 19 yrs) and older (n = 24; M = 68 yrs). Two sequential target displays were presented on a computer screen. If a target letter appeared in Display 1, then observers were to identify a target letter in Display 2. Based on accuracy of Display 1 target detection, the older adults had a more restricted range of visual processing than the younger …
Family History of Hypertension Influences Neurobehavioral Function in Hypertensive Patients
This study examined the influence of family history of hypertension on neurobehavioral performance. Sixty-two hypertensive men and women who reported a family history of hypertension (+FH) were compared with 28 hypertensive individuals without a family history (-FH) and 32 normotensive control subjects. A neurocognitive test battery that included tests of information processing, verbal memory, and figural memory was administered individually to e…
Hypertension affects neurobehavioral functioning
This study compared the neurobehavioral performance of hypertensive and normotensive men and women using neuropsychological, information-processing, and psychometric assessments. One hundred subjects, including 68 hypertensive and 32 normotensive individuals, completed a test battery that yielded scores on measures of speed of information processing, verbal and figural memory, psychosocial functioning, Type A behavior, and locus of control. Resul…
