Startup Precarity: The Extractivist Economization of Precarious Urban Living in Naples
This article offers a critique of Southern urbanism's revisionist propositions of precarity and informality. It does so through the lens of the extractivist economization of precarious living in Naples in the platform‐mediated tourism industry. Empirically, the article focuses on a local variant of slum tourism in Naples, investigating the trajectory of a highly celebrated local social startup that offers guided tours of the so‐called bassi , the…
Vinyles et cassettes: Philip K. Dick et la reproduction du son
Peu d’écrivains de SF ont été plus profondément liés à la musique que Philip K. Dick. Il ne s’agit pas seulement des innombrables citations d’œuvres musicales retrouvées dans ses romans et ses nouvelles : plus qu’aucun autre, Dick a exploré les possibilités de la musique dans sa forme la plus médiatique, à savoir l’enregistrement du son. Cet article explore la manière dont les technologies de reproduction du son sont utilisées dans une série de r…
Foundational liveability, the 15-min city and the limits to place-based policy
I am sympathetic with Bassens et al.’s project of rethinking in explicitly social class, people-based terms the question of socio-spatial inequalities that has occupied the minds of urban and regional scholars after the populist eruption of the mid-2010s and onward. In doing so, the article has the merit of moving beyond a merely place-based understanding of today’s regional inequality phenomenon, constructed around the undifferentiated notion of…
Beyond technological sovereignty: Practising technological self-determination in platform cooperativism
The goal of this article is to offer the notion of technological self-determination as a concept and as a practice that is alternative to the state-centred discourse of strategic and technological sovereignty. The idea of technological sovereignty has become hegemonic amongst national and transnational technocratic elites, especially in the European Union, at a time in which what is defined here as the 'state-urban-corporate complex' has come to …
The Urban Field: Capital and Governmentality in the Age of Techno-Monopoly
We live in an era of techno-monopoly power in which technocapitalism - through ubiquitous digital platforms - has colonized both the internet and key aspects of our everyday lives. Cities and larger urban and metropolitan environments have provided a fertile ground for the rise and rapid growth of this power. In The Urban Field , Moisio and Rossi reveal an urban monopoly capitalism supported by the 'corporatized state'. They critically examine th…
The value of the urban field in technology-driven knowledge economies: The role of the state
This article shows how the market valuation of start-up companies and the corporate-designed creation of human capital reveal some of the material and more intangible ways in which the economisation of the urban field plays out in the contemporary knowledge economy. The proposed analysis seeks to make visible how both direct and indirect state action enables the different dimensions of the urban field to come together, become valuable and jointly…
New institutions and the politics of the interstices. Experimenting with a face-to-face democracy in Naples
This article analyses the politics of new municipalism in Naples in relation to the constellation of ‘new institutions’ that has arisen from this politics. These ‘new institutions’ are illustrative of a politics of the interstices as a distinctive trait of the convergence between city government and social movements in Naples, as the latter have opted for staying neither outside nor inside official institutions and the city government has adapted…
The Existential Threat of Urban Social Extractivism: Urban Revival and the Extinction Crisis in the European South
This article applies the notion of existential threat to urban societies endangered by the unrestrained expansion of urbanised extractivist capitalism. It does so for purposes of urban activism and action‐oriented research, because of the sense of urgency this notion conveys. Conceptually drawing on Hardt and Negri’s theorisation of the anthropogenic foundations of extractivist capitalism, the article exposes how variegated processes of economic‐…
Contro-passato prossimo: Genesi di una storia alternativa in La nostra guerra di Enrico Brizzi
Quello dell’ucronia – specie in Italia – è un dominio letterario caratterizzato dalla preposizione “contro”. Nel XXI secolo incontriamo quella che, se non altro per dimensioni, può considerarsi la più imponente narrazione ucronica italiana: si tratta dell’Epopea Fantastorica Italiana di Enrico Brizzi, con le sue tre parti (L’inattesa piega degli eventi, 2008, La nostra guerra, 2009, e Lorenzo Pellegrini e le donne, 2012). Forse si potrà concluder…
Geographies of the Covid-19 pandemic
The spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in the most devastating global public health crisis in over a century. At present, over 10 million people from around the world have contracted the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), leading to more than 500,000 deaths globally. The global health crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has been compounded by political, economic, and social crises that have exacerbated existing ineq…

Meeting the Alien Face to Face—in Italy
120 SCIENCE FICTION STUDIES, VOLUME 47 (2020) Premendra Mitra’s Fiction” by Upamanyu Pablo Mukherjee, analyzes the famous 1955 Bandung conference’s rarely documented racism, as examined through the lens of Premendra Mitra’s seemingly prescient work, a short story cycle about Ghana-da, “the irascible Bengali teller of tall tales” (193-95). By using these short stories as a case study, Mukherjee explores the seeming lack of historicization of scien…
Fake friends: The illusionist revision of Western urbanology at the time of platform capitalism
It is generally assumed that the so-called populist explosion that has swept across liberal democracies since 2016 has led to a crisis of neoliberal reason in its original formulation. Owing to the close relationship between cities and neoliberalism, the crisis of neoliberal rationality has significantly impacted what is defined here ‘Western urbanology’. This definition brings together influential apologists of the urban age and its entrepreneur…
The start-up state: Governing urbanised capitalism
This paper assesses the mutating role of the state in today's flourishing technology hubs in major cities and metropolitan areas across the globe through a comparative lens. Conventional wisdom associates the contemporary phenomenon of high-tech urbanism with minimum state intervention. In public as well as in scholarly debates, technology-intensive urban economies are customarily portrayed as a phenomenon whose formative creativity and ethos ste…
Urban entrepreneurialism 2.0 or the becoming south of the urban world
The common-seekers: Capturing and reclaiming value in the platform metropolis
This article offers a critical account of technology-based urban economies within cognitive-affective capitalism, particularly of their socially extractive nature and the contradictions arising from related processes of value extraction. Drawing on the work of Hardt and Negri and other theorists of ‘extractivist’ capitalism, the article explores the way in which ‘the common’ has become the oil of today’s ‘platform metropolis’. In particular, it i…
Critical Urban Theory
Critical urban theory took form in the late 1960s as a reaction to the naturalistic, technocratic, and politically neutral accounts of existing urban scholarship. This entry reviews the evolution of critical urban theory from its origins to the present day, drawing attention to the main theoretical sources in the different stages of its trajectory: from Weberian and structuralist‐Marxist studies and debates in the late 1960s and the 1970s, to Fre…

The uneven terrain of dialogical encounters and the spatial politics of listening
The contributions to this forum have highlighted how the limits to scholarly dialogue are multiple and have had serious consequences for the ways in which knowledges are produced and debated in the academy, the media, and wider society. In this rejoinder to the commentaries on our article, ‘The Possibilities and Limits to Dialogue’, we embrace the stance of affirmative critique in order to constructively engage with the important issues that our …
The possibilities and limits to dialogue
In this article, we explore the nature, value, and challenges of dialogue both within and outside the academy. After considering the possibilities and limits to dialogue, we divide our analysis into three sections, first discussing dialogue as a form of embodied action, next examining dialogue as a means of enacting a critically affirmative politics, and finally exploring the challenges of engaging in dialogue as a way of practicing public geogra…
The populist eruption and the urban question
Generalizing the recent experience of the United States, the common wisdom associates today’s ‘populist explosion’ with a deepening urban-rural divide, in which small towns and rural regions are seen as reservoirs of populist anger while large cities in the most prosperous areas are portrayed as strongholds of multicultural coexistence and liberal democracy. In challenging this representation, this paper underlines the ‘urban roots’ of today’s po…
Locating the global financial crisis: Variegated neoliberalization in four European cities
Locating the global financial crisis: variegated neoliberalization in four European cities. Territory, Politics, Governance. This paper looks at the variegated impact of the 2008 global financial crisis and the different ways in which local strategic actors imagined and responded to it through a comparative study of Barcelona, Brussels, Leeds and Turin. Drawing on cultural political economy, we see crisis moments as fertile territory for the anal…
Start-up urbanism: New York, Rio de Janeiro and the global urbanization of technology-based economies
This article investigates the variegated urbanization of technology-based economies through the lenses of a comparative analysis looking at New York City and Rio de Janeiro. Over the last decade, the former has gained a reputation as a 'model tech city' at the global level, while the latter is an example of emerging 'start-up city'. Using a Marxist-Foucauldian approach, the article argues that, while technopoles in the 1980s and the 1990s arose f…

Becoming a Creative City: The Entrepreneurial Mayor, Network Politics and the Promise of an Urban Renaissance
This paper critically explores the ‘politics of becoming’ in a ‘wannabe’ creative city in the United States. It shows how, in Baltimore’s policy sphere, Richard Florida’s theory has served as an ‘intellectual technology’ aiming at the invention of a new macro-actor (the creative class), while related urban regeneration outcomes and prospects appear to be more problematic. In particular, at the city-wide level, the creative class policy has favour…

Reinventing Multiculturalism: Urban Citizenship and the Negotiation of Ethnic Diversity in Amsterdam
A number of authors have recently suggested that cities are becoming increasingly important as sites for the negotiation of ethnic diversity. While multiculturalism has been declared 'dead' in many countries, cities are now experimenting with new ways to accommodate ethnic diversity. This article reports on research conducted in Amsterdam. In this city, a 'minority policy' has been replaced by a qualitatively different 'diversity policy'. Even th…

A coming community: Young geographers coping with multi-tier spaces of academic publishing across Europe
Little is still known about the publishing practices of scholars based outside the leading Anglophone countries. More generally, little is known about the contemporary\nmachineries of writing spaces within human geography and the other social sciences. In responding to a recent editorial by Ron Johnston, this paper seeks to start filling this void\nby providing the results of a research project investigating the multi-language publishing practice…

The Variegated Economics and the Potential Politics of the Smart City
The smart city discourse has gained increasing popularity within contemporary cities across the globe, mobilizing powerful economic actors and hegemonic public–private coalitions. This article argues that, in spite of the common wisdom within critical urban scholarship looking at the smart city as a policy framework aligned with the interests of powerful private and public actors such as multinational corporations and the state, the smart city mo…

On Life as a Fictitious Commodity: Cities and the Biopolitics of Late Neoliberalism
Building on a biopolitical understanding of the economic crisis, this essay contends that the occurrence of the crisis warns that life is not a real commodity but - to put it inKarlPolanyi's terms - a 'fictitious commodity'. This means that life cannot be integrally subsumed within the economy, and therefore the crisis is to be seen as a pathological way in which societies react to the pervasiveness of capitalist relations, showing the illusory c…
On the varying ontologies of capitalism: Embeddedness, dispossession, subsumption
This article offers a substantive understanding of the variegation of capitalism, in an attempt to move beyond the current impasse in the mainstream varieties-of-capitalism approach. Drawing on existing conceptualizations of capitalism-society relationships, as well as on Agamben’s reconceptualization of the Foucaldian notion of ‘dispositif’, the article identifies the ontological ‘dispositifs’ of embeddedness, dispossession and subsumption, asso…

Being here and there: In‐betweeness, double absence, and the making of a multi‐layered academic citizenship
In this commentary I contribute to the ongoing debate about changing conditions of academic labour by sharing my personal experience as a fixed‐term scholar dealing with an in‐between positionality within the academia. This intervention is intended, on the one hand, to shed light on the condition of an increasing number of early career geographers today, which has not been highlighted by the literature so far; on the other hand, it pursues the mo…
New Regionalism contested: Some remarks in light of the case of the Mezzogiorno of Italy
This article attempts to re-consider the debate that has recently developed around the so-called New Regionalism with reference to the studies regarding the emergence of a 'new' competitive Mezzogiorno of Italy. The first two sections of the article are devoted to a critical analysis of the literature on the New Mezzogiorno. It is argued that this literature has, on the one hand, fruitfully called attention to the emerging experiences of regional…

From Dick to Lethem: The Dickian Legacy, Postmodernism, and Avant-Pop in Jonathan Lethem’s Amnesia Moon
This article attempts to map the relationships among postmodernism, science fiction, and Avant-Pop by focusing on the writings of Philip K. Dick, a purportedly postmodern sf author, and Amnesia Moon, an sf novel by an Avant-Pop author, Jonathan Lethem. The Finite Subjective Realities that are depicted in Amnesia Moon are read as an important element of the “Dickian legacy,” since ontological fragmentation is such an important feature of several o…
Nápoles, ciudad democrática: La construcción del centro histórico como un espacio público
El presente artículo analiza el proceso de regeneración urbana que ha tenido lugar en el centro histórico de Nápoles en la última década. Mi tesis es que dicho proceso ha ocurrido gracias una mezcla de formas diferenciadas de acción colectiva y movilización social. En particular, presento un marco de análisis que considera dos perspectivas en el proceso de cambio urbano: desde arriba y desde abajo. En mi estudio de caso, la primera perspectiva se…

The Game of the Rat: A.E. Van Vogt’s 800-Word Rule and P.K. Dick’s The Game-Players of Titan
Notwithstanding the huge bibliography of secondary literature on P.K. Dick and his oeuvre, there are very few articles or books that focus on single works by this very well-known writer. This essay is an attempt to undertake a step-by-step analysis of the plot of one of Dick’s “minor” novels, The Game-Players of Titan (1963), in order to examine how a Dickian text really works. The text is read by locating the moments where Dick has interrupted t…

The Counter-Empire to Come or the Discourse of the Great Rival: An Attempted Decoding of Michael Hardt's and Toni Negri's Empire
The following article has its origins in a debate that took place among collaborators of the French journal Cahiers pour l'Analyse concrète concerning the book Empire, by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. Among the participants in the discussion, some were susceptible to the powers of seduction created by the “revolutionary” rhetoric which the book deploys. Others, notably among the Italian collaborators of the journal, were all the more worried b…

A Little Something About Dead Astronauts
J.G. Ballard’s short stories have repeatedly presented readers with the image of the dead astronaut. This article analyzes five stories published between 1962 and 1982—“The Cage of Sand,” “A Question of Re-Entry,” “The Dead Astronaut,” “Notes Towards a Mental Breakdown,” and “Memories of the Space Age” —in which dead spacemen have a pivotal role connected to a place that looms large in Ballard’s imagination: Cape Kennedy/Canaveral.
