Migration and European Cities
Between the Sea and a Hard Place
After entry
Since the so-called 'refugee crisis', research on migration in the Euro-Mediterranean region has highlighted the entanglement of humanitarian and securitarian logics in the transformation of the EU border regime, with most attention focused on rescue and push-back operations at sea and systems of detention, selection and reception on land. This article moves beyond the point of arrival to examine how humanitarianism has also been implicated in th…
Chapter 8 Sous les Pavés, la Place! An Ethnography of the New Piazza Plebiscito
Tuff City
During the 1990s, Naples' left-wing administration sought to tackle the city's infamous reputation of being poor, crime-ridden, chaotic and dirty by reclaiming the city's cultural and architectural heritage. This book examines the conflicts surrounding the reimaging and reordering of the city's historic centre through detailed case studies of two piazzas and a centro sociale, focusing on a series of issues that include heritage, decorum, security…
Urban Anthropology
This entry reviews the contribution of anthropology to the study of cities in southern Europe, here delimited to the countries of Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Until the 1980s, local and foreign anthropologists working in the region largely focused their attention on rural and small urban settings. Pioneering research on major cities often grappled with what localities lacked vis‐à‐vis northern European cities and drew connections to non‐ur…
Towards a ‘new’ Moroccan capital? Democratisation, diversity politics and the remaking of national space in Rabat
It considers two cases – the official recognition of Amazigh culture and the development of new cultural infrastructure – in order to interrogate how urban restructuring in Rabat has become an expedient for transmitting a new sense of national identity to domestic and international audiences. In doing so, the article critically develops the idea of ‘diversity management regime’ to think about how diversity is operationalised in Rabat, the dimensi…
How far can we compare? Migration studies, comparative urbanism and the potential of a trans‐Mediterranean perspective
Through an analysis of migrant incorporation in Rome and Rabat, this article investigates the theoretical, methodological and policy consequences of comparing across the fault lines around which urban migration research is conventionally structured. It critically brings into conversation the “local turn” in migration policy research with debates around comparative urbanism, and discusses how the Mediterranean region and a reconsideration of tempo…
Managing cultural diversity and (re)defining the national in 'global South' cities
This themed section explores the formation, representation and management of cultural diversity in cities of the ‘global South’ and how these processes are implicated in redefinitions of the nation and national identity. By exploring the linkages between cultural diversity, the city and the nation, the contributions provide important insights into the major challenges facing non-western cities, including those with explicit ‘global city’ aspirati…
Cultural policies in cities of the ‘global South’
Building on the literature on global cities and on the worlding of cities, the articles in this special issue chart how cities outside Europe and North America try to reinvent and rescale themselves using culture. They suggest that the fabric of urban cultural policy is embedded in multi-scalar power dynamics. First, the contributions in this special issue reveal the importance of circulating standards across borders in structuring narratives abo…
Moroccan City Festivals, Cultural Diplomacy and Urban Political Agency
Over the last two decades, cultural festivals have been established and consolidated in cities across Morocco. Their proliferation has coincided with the reign of Mohammed VI, well known as an enthusiastic and extremely wealthy patron of the arts, and the concomitant state-controlled democratization of Moroccan politics and society. Drawing on two examples-the Marrakech International Film Festival and the Mawazine music festival in Rabat-this art…
The Mediterranean and its uneasy heritage associations
Drawing on the articles in this issue and those published in the 2016 special section “Critical ethnographies of urban heritage in the western Mediterranean region”, this afterword critically reflects on the significance of the Mediterranean region as a particular dimension for heritage research
Beyond Crisis Talk
Commencing with some recent examples drawn from Anglophone media, this introductory article reflects on the multiple ways in which crisis and migration have been interconnected over the last decade in public discourse, political debates and academic research. It underlines how crisis has not simply become a key descriptor of specific events, but continues to operate as a powerful narrative device that structures knowledge of migration and shapes …
An irreconcilable first-place
This article discusses the ambiguous relationship between heritage tourism and everyday life in the historic centre of Naples. This area, long characterised by a lower-class residential population and intermittently considered off-limits to tourists, has over the last two decades become the focus of a burgeoning heritage tourism industry. The article adopts the idea of precariousness – understood contra conventional formulations as a condition th…
What's in a word? Contextual diversity, urban ethnography and the linguistic limits of the street
This article takes to task a common assumption within Anglophone scholarship that conceives the street as a preeminent site of urban life, arguing that this sociological truism has worked to obscure the role of other spaces, terms and experiences across different historical, geographical and linguistic contexts. In response, and building on recent reappraisals in sociology of the work of Raymond Williams, the aim of this article is to analyse the…
Moving across National-Linguistic Borders
First Published June 1, 2018
The Abolition of Law or Law of the Common(s)
In the struggles against neoliberalism, it is difficult to reconcile the language of instituent practices and the language of revolution, the transformation of the present in its totality. This difficult link also raises the problem of law. The production of commons is interpreted as a source of an alternative legality (the law of the commons). But can law be appropriated and used as part of a more general project of radical transformation? What …
Critical ethnographies of urban heritage in the western Mediterranean region
Ethnographic reflections on 'oppositional heritage discourse' in two post-earthquake Italian cities
This article explores the politicisation of cultural heritage during the aftermath of the 1980 earthquake in Naples and the 2009 earthquake in L’Aquila. It begins by critically addressing the positions of Tomaso Montanari and Salvatore Settis, two prominent heritage intellectuals at the forefront of national campaigns to restore the damaged historic centre of L’Aquila. Both have been instrumental in shaping an ‘oppositional heritage discourse’ in…
Thinking Lampedusa
This article interrogates the relationship between the Italian island of Lampedusa and trans-Mediterranean migration. It explores how the construction of Lampedusa as a border zone has been implicated in the rise and fall in numbers of migrants reaching the island's shores over the last two decades. It proceeds to consider the appropriateness of interpreting death and detention on Lampedusa in terms of 'bare life'. While acknowledging how Giorgio…
Bad news from an aberrant city
This article examines the coverage of Naples since 2000 in the Guardian and the Independent , paying particular attention to their portrayal of the Camorra and the refuse crisis. It argues that this coverage was not simply riddled with stereotypes but was also characterised by significant inaccuracies and omissions. Analysts in Italy have detailed how the trash emergency in 2008 was the outcome of corporate malpractice and institutional complicit…

Urban renewal, immigration, and contested claims to public space
Time-saver standards for landscape architecture
This is a handbook for landscape architects. In its scope and organization it provides a definition of what landscape architecture is
