Description

Urban violence still has a peculiar standing within social and urban research. This book works to unpack the link between urban, violence, and security with three main arguments. <br>The first is that urban violence is under-theorized because long-term theoretical problems with both of its elements (&lsquo;urban&rsquo; and &lsquo;violence&rsquo;).<br>The second is to answer these questions: (1) how can violence be conceptualized in a way that opens to an understanding of the specificity of urban violence? (2) What is the urban in urban violence? And (3) How can &lsquo;urban&rsquo; and &lsquo;violence&rsquo; be articulated in a way that makes urban violence a category with both analytical and strategic power? <br>The third, and central, argument of this book is that, through a genealogy that articulates political economic and vital materialism, urban violence can ultimately be framed as a precise category shaped by three interlocking trajectories: the process of (capitalist) urbanization, the spatio-political project of the urban, and the concrete urban atmospheres in and through which the process and the project materialize, often violently so, in the urban.
