Who Cares When the Ground Shakes? “Standing By” Uncertain Urban Futures Through Configurations of Care
In this article, I elaborate on how different urban actors strive to create certainty while living in anticipation of a major destructive earthquake. Turning to the category of standby mode, I study attempts to stabilize uncertain futures beyond professionalized practices of preparedness. Instead, I include a broader range of actors in the analysis of waiting for catastrophe and avoid a binary of activity/passivity in anticipation of disaster. I …
Visibility in Authoritarian Urban Space
This article reconsiders the relationship between visibility and politicization. Drawing on empirical evidence from urban mobilization campaigns across Russia, we counter the existing literature on theories of the post‐political and liminality by identifying four dimensions of visibility—publicity in urban space, objects of urban contestation, interaction with external audiences, and alliances with supporters—which activists fine‐tune in their co…
Local Activism Goes Digital in Authoritarian Setting
Grassroots activism constitutes the backbone of civil society across political regimes. While many studies explored the role of social media and digital platforms in social movements, we focus on the ways local activists use these social media platforms to organize collectively against unwanted urban development. Localized (place-based) contention differs from large-scale social movements: it is less endowed with resources and it is directly rela…
«Clean Off or Get Out». (Self)Governance, Community and Citizenship in New Large Housing Estates in Russian Cities
The article presents an analysis of the (self)management of the newly constructed large housing estate “Severnaya Dolina” (St. Petersburg, Russia). Built within the neoliberalization of Russian housing policy, this housing estate is an urban space where intervention and control by the state is limited, the provision of social goods is partially shifted to a private development company that manages the territory, and social control is mostly exerc…
The Vagaries of Sonic Neighborly Life
The article contributes to understanding of how collective life in post-socialist mass housing is ordered by discussing the ambiguous relations that exist between sound, privacy, and home. It demonstrates how residents of Severnaya Dolina, a large housing estate in St. Petersburg, Russia, experience certain neighborly sounds as nuisances and calls to action to react to and prevent sonic intrusions. Privacy at home is a collective achievement: Res…
Online and offline conflicts around urban commons

Present-day academic work is mostly done in English.What happens, or so the contributions to this monograph ask, when we open a few windows, let in some air, and invite elements drawn from other linguistic traditions into our texts?Doing so does not simply mean welcoming other words.Along with this it also changes the conditions, the terms, that stipulate what is, and what is not, good -proper, interesting, international, academic -writing.To exe…
Commoning beyond 'commons
How do the semantic logics that different words accommodate in different languages map onto studies of social realities internationally and interdisciplinarily? This article is an ethnographic study of obshcheye - a corpus of phenomena pertaining to communal life in Russia. Similar to the English term 'commons', it marks the zone of the public - that which is shared and collective. In contrast to the commons, it displays greater semantic polyphon…
Bikesharing out of a cycling policy
Plastic, bicycles and urban citizenships
The article is concerned with the scripts of urban citizenship’ emergence in which residents are connected with communities of different scale through the usage of the infrastructures. We examine two cases of urban infrastructures’ reorganization in St. Petersburg: the introduction of bike renting system in 2014 and efforts in the building of separate waste collection system. Based on the interviews with the users, city bureaucrats, activists, as…
