--Abstract--
Cities are not neutral sites in which people enter. They are not only
physically built but are perceived, narrated, interpreted and imbued with
power relations (Massey/Jess 1995). People experience places with their
specific socio-spatial relations depending on their positionalities,
including class, race/ethnicity, gender and religion. Spatial organization
is integral to the production of social relations and power relations and
not merely its result (Massey 1994).
This panel explores how individuals and groups make, imagine and enlive
cities and the multiple places that constitute them, and how social
relations are linked to spatial organizations, but also how places are
negotiated and contested, demanding makeshifts and improvisations. We focus
on the city¹s recently arrived dwellers (Saunders 2010) and residents newly
claiming their urban citizenship (Holston 2008).
We welcome contributions on urban placemaking practices, including the socio
production of places as well as their socio-material aspects, such as
arrival infrastructure. Topics may include, e.g. the transformations of
urban spaces and existing power relations; embodied/sensory phenomena (Pink
2008; Sen/Silverman 2013); or forms of resistance (Gupta/Ferguson 1997;
Certeau 1984, Massey 1994). At the same time we encourage contributors to
explore the larger political and economic local and global contexts, by
addressing e.g. questions concerning the right to placemaking.
