Violence in society; Urban communities; Human geography

This edited volume asks how the city, with its spatial and temporal configuration and its rhythms, produces and shapes violence, both in terms of the built environment, and through particular 'urban' social relations.

The book builds on the insight that violence itself is a spatiotemporal practice with generative capacities, which produces and transforms urban space and time in the long turn, also through the impact of memory. The analytical categories of space and time must be thought as inextricably linked with each other . Expanding this fundamental conceptual idea offers fresh perspectives on urban violence. The book unites case studies on different world regions and historical periods , and thus challenges assumed binaries of cities the global North and South, the past and present.

Reviews for The Spatiality and Temporality of Urban Violence: Histories, Rhythms and Ruptures

‘Theoretically ambitious and grounded in an eclectic methodological approach, this volume is an outstanding contribution to the burgeoning field of urban studies and of violence. It brings together very successfully space and time as regimes and practices of city life that have structured the spatial experiences, temporalities, rhythms, and memories of urban violence. Adopting a scalar, multidisciplinary and comparative analysis to ‘map’ and ‘clock’ violent cities and societies, the case studies included in the volume reveal the mutually constitutive nature of the space-time axis in different urban settings, today as in the past. This book is an important and innovative read.’ —Nelida Fuccaro, New York University Abu Dhabi. Editor of Violence and the City in the Modern Middle East -- .
