Enjoying climate change
In this paper, we explore this dissonance between knowing and acting that produces the current climate deadlock by focusing on ‘enjoyment’ as a political factor. The enjoyment that infuses the climate change consensus and climate activism stands as an avatar for the wider impasse that characterizes most attempts to inflect the trajectory of the future away from ‘accumulation for accumulation sake’ and its associated socio-ecological catastrophe. …
Promises of the Political
The possibility of a new emancipatory and democratizing politics, explored through the lens of recent urban insurgencies. In Promises of the Political, Erik Swyngedouw explores whether progressive and emancipatory politics is still possible in a post-political era. Activists and scholars have developed the concept of post-politicization to describe the process by which "the political" is replaced by techno-managerial governance. If the political …
Urban Political Ecology in the Anthropo-obscene
Insurgent Citizens and the Spectral Return of the Political in the Post-Democratic City
The Post-Political and Its Discontents
"Urges us to confront the closure of our political horizons and re-imagine the possibility of emancipatory change."--Publishers website
Participatory Governance in Multi-Level Context
Cities, Natures and the Political Imaginary
Despite the seeming accumulation of natural and manmade disasters over the last decade, and increasing urban intensification across the world, there seems to be little or no actual progress in solving urban ecological problems. In exploring a way forward, Maria Kaika and Erik Swyngedouw highlight three potential approaches to urban socio‐ecological research and how these might provide a conduit for re‐politicising urban nature
Can Neighbourhoods Save the City?
The Congolese diaspora in Brussels and hybrid identity formation
In most of the literature on transnational communities and urban identity formation, emphasis is placed on two main processes of immigration that have shaped transnational presence. On the one hand, considerable attention has been paid to the emergence of large communities of migrating people who were positively attracted, if not encouraged to move, to fuel local labor markets (as in the case of guest workers in North-Western Europe). On the othe…
In the Nature of Cities
Including urban case studies and contributions from prominent urban scholars, this volume will give students, scholars and researchers of geographical, environmental and urban studies a better understanding of how interrelated, everyday economic, political and cultural processes form and transform urban environments.
The globalized city
Participatory Governance in Multi-Level Context
Modernity and Hybridity
Spain is arguably the European country where the water crisis has become most acute in recent years. The political and ecological importance of water is not, however, only a recent development in Spain. Throughout this century, water politics, economics, culture, and engineering have infused and embodied the myriad tensions and conflicts that drove and still drive Spanish society. And although the significance of water on the Iberian peninsula ha…
