SECTION 4: PROGRAMME SUMMARY

(a) Context and aim of the programme

The American ghetto, the British sink estate, the French banlieue, the Brazilian favela, the Italian quartieri periferici, the Japanese buraku, the Dutch achterstandswijken, the Portuguese bairro degradado: all are widely known as the problem districts, the no-go areas

of the metropolis - territories of deprivation,

dereliction and danger to be shunned and feared. Every society has its own special term to designate its most stigmatized neighbourhoods; but usually these become terministic screens 1 that hide more than they reveal, and preclude an adequate

understanding of the conjunction of mounting misery and stupendous affluence so clearly evident in the cities of advanced and advancing societies throughout the globe. The central aim of the proposed Network is to pierce these terministic screens by engaging in scientific exchanges aimed at developing comparative and international perspectives on advanced urban marginality, using shared principles of analysis and parallel methodologies designed to track, contrast and challenge the rise and diffusion of new forms of urban poverty.

Advanced urban marginality is a concept elaborated by Loïc Wacquant in his recent book Urban Outcasts2. It refers to the accumulation of economic penury, social destitution, ethnoracial divisions and public violence in distressed urban areas of the globe. Research on advanced urban marginality aims to understand the predicament facing those living in notorious and traumatized neighbourhoods, where a blemish of place is superimposed on the already existing stigmata traditionally associated with poverty, class position and/or ethnic origin. According to Wacquant, four dynamics feed advanced urban marginality: macrosocial (occupational dualization and resurgent inequality); economic (the fragmentation of wage labour); political (the recoiling of the social state) and spatial (confinement or dispersal, and defamation). Together, these dynamics amount to a process of urban polarization from below , in that they multiply unstable social positions and relegate vulnerable populations to neighbourhoods functionally disconnected from expansionary phases in aggregate employment and income.

Spawned at the meeting of the International Sociological Association in Barcelona in September 2008, the proposed international Network of scholars aims to invigorate the comparative study of urban relegation. The Network brings together scholars who share the following intellectual concerns:

A realization that advanced urban marginality is not cut from the same cloth everywhere (in spite of homogenizing discourses and transnational policy currents), yet shares similar causes and germane features across countries.

1 Kenneth Burke (1966) Language as Symbolic Action (Berkeley: University of California Press) pp 44-62. 2 Loïc Wacquant (2008) Urban Outcasts: A Comparative Sociology of Advanced Marginality

(Cambridge: Polity Press). Such is the importance of this book that it is the subject of review symposia in three major international urban studies journals: City; Urban Geography; International Journal of Urban and Regional Research.

A wish to engage in theoretically guided comparison or dialogue across national borders, to avoid getting locked into the predefined parameters of their local debate3 and to guard against the subordination of scholarly to policy agendas.

A wish to conduct social research on advanced urban marginality via a fieldwork approach (solo or in combination with historical and statistical methods).

An alertness to the symbolic dimension of advanced urban marginality (as recorded, for instance, in the phenomenon of territorial stigmatization) and to the multi-sided role of the state4 in the production of poverty.

(b) Description of the institutions involved

Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh, SCOTLAND: Recognised for its leading contribution to research at the forefront of human geography, the Institute s research efforts provide new insights to core geographical concerns. Scholars work in close collaboration with colleagues in other parts of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

Department of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley, USA: The world s top-ranked centre for sociological research, training, and teaching. It has been at the forefront of professional sociology since its early years in the 1950s and continues to mould the discipline and educate many of its leading practitioners.

Instituto de Sociologia, Universidade do Porto, PORTUGAL: Centred on the provision of research of social relevance, the Institute aims to create progressively more active dynamics of community involvement in order to capture new publics to the scientific world.

Department of Sociology, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, NETHERLANDS: A leading Dutch centre of training and research in sociology, where questions driven by theoretical knowledge are linked to society-driven programmes.

Centro de Estudos da Metrópole, Universidade de São Paulo, BRASIL: The Center for Metropolitan Studies was founded in 2000 to analyse socio-economic dynamics in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. It has generated 18 books, 108 articles published in Brazilian academic journals and 27 in foreign journals. Its scientific goal for the next three years is to focus on the reproduction of social inequalities in urban settings, maintaining an interdisciplinary approach.

Faculty of Lifelong Learning and Career Studies, Hosei University, JAPAN: The central goal of the Faculty is the training of professionals able to undertake the needs

of a society which pursues lifelong learning. This includes preparing individuals to become academic advisors as well as employment/career counsellors.

Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara, ITALY: Located in one of the oldest universities in the world, and a leading centre for social sciences and humanities in Italy, the department has an international reputation for its research on society, space and culture at variety of different scales.

(c) Significance of the programme

In Urban Outcasts, Wacquant argues that advanced urban marginality is a poverty regime that is incubating and etched on the horizon of contemporary urban societies. This is reason enough to warrant scholarly attention, but there is also an immediate need for a collaborative assessment of advanced urban marginality in different countries and/or types of urban environment, for two key reasons:

1. Popular concepts such as the excluded and the underclass , used by the media, policymakers and some scholars to describe those living in marginal neighbourhoods, have mushroomed and travelled well beyond their countries of origin to give the impression that urban marginality is everywhere the same, from which inappropriate public policies can follow5. Only comparative social research using analytical concepts (drawn from the historical matrix of class, state and space in each society) can reveal the generic mechanisms that produce marginality, and serve to refute diagnoses of poverty that focus only on the behaviour of the marginalized.

2. It is difficult to tackle any concrete manifestation of this new form of urban poverty unless one first outlines its features in different contexts and elucidates analytically how these features may facilitate or hinder conventional modes of policy remediation. If new mechanisms of social and political incorporation are not put in place to re-integrate the populations cast out from urban society, one can expect that urban marginality will continue to rise and spread, and, along with it, street violence, civic alienation, organizational desertification, and economic informalization.

The proposed network spans four continents, and its members are deeply committed to their ongoing and future research on this topic. The Network also brings together different disciplines (sociology, urban studies, geography, anthropology and political science). We feel that formalising our connections and sharing scientific insights on this most urgent and troubling aspect of contemporary urbanization has immediate relevance not just for scholarship, but for public action. The Network unites quantitative and qualitative methodological skills well suited for the measurement and interpretation of advanced urban marginality each national/urban context. Five

5 Nissa Finney and Ludi Simpson (2009) Sleepwalking to Segregation: Challenging Myths About Race and Migration (Bristol: Policy Press). This book refutes several high-profile policy pronouncements that some British urban neighbourhoods are becoming as segregated American-style ghettos .

methodological principles, following from five key intellectual objectives, orient and animate the ongoing research of the Network s members:

1) Differentiating populist and analytical concepts: the systematic reading of available urban monographs and the scrutiny of administrative documents and media sources via content analysis. 2) Historicizing urban forms over the longue durée: advanced urban marginality cannot be understood in isolation from longitudinal tendencies - revealed in basic statistical description - since the Fordist-Keynesian era began to unravel. 3) Ethnography as instrument of epistemological rupture and theoretical construction: such is the stereotyping of marginal urban neighbourhoods that close observation of social life within them can pierce the terministic screens that block intellectual insights, theoretical sophistication, and appropriate public policies. 4) Differentiating neighbourhoods of marginality: using empirical indicators both statistical and textual, we distinguish between the social condition

characteristic of a marginal urban zone; its position

in a hierarchized structure of places, and the function it performs for the broader metropolitan system. 5) Specifying degree and type of state penetration: to gain a sense of changing relations that marginalized urban populations maintain with different public officials and agencies (schools and hospitals, housing and social welfare, firefighting and transportation, the courts and the police), interviews (both survey and in-depth forms) yield important insights.

The proposed Network, bolstered by this mixed-methods, multi-site comparative ethos, will consider how the constituent properties of urban marginality specify themselves differently in different types of urban environment. This collaboration will serve to develop more complex and more differentiated pictures of urban outcasts than currently available in order to capture accurately their social predicament and elucidate their collective fate in different societies.

(d) Description of arrangements for the interchange

The proposed Network consists of a core group of seven scholars (see Section 5 below), seeking financial support to meet three times, for the following purposes:

November 2009: A three-day inception workshop at the University of Edinburgh. This will have two foci: to consider in dialogue the concept of advanced urban marginality and compare the ways in which the concept is understood in seven different national contexts; and to focus on methodological techniques and issues which arise from the conceptual discussion. The overarching goal will be to develop a shared rhetoric and base of questioning aimed at clarifying different theoretical literatures. This will allow us to approach comparatively notions of class, ethnicity, state and space, and thus invigorate the comparative examination of urban social polarization from below .

January 2011: A two-day work in progress seminar at the Universidad do Porto, to discuss conceptual development, methodological challenges/experiences, comparative analysis of data, and potential dissemination strategies.

April 2012: A two-day international conference on advanced urban marginality at the University of California, Berkeley, with a keynote lecture by Professor Loïc Wacquant, and papers from the lead participants, drawn from their research on advanced urban marginality in their own national/urban contexts. High-profile scholars from diverse countries and disciplines (such as Manuel Castells, Saskia Sassen, Danny Dorling, Sako Musterd, Hartmut Hausserman, Ivan Szelenyi) will be invited as participants and discussants to coordinate debate and reflection on the activities and achievements of the Network, and consider future agendas in the light of this comparative endeavour. Extensions of this project will then be proposed to leading American foundations (SSRC, Russell Sage Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, The Urban Institute)

Our Network is driven by a common concern with the emergence of a distinctive regime of urban poverty across the globe, but one characterised by distinct sociospatial constellations that are legacies of different urban histories and divergent articulations of welfare state, market and appropriated physical space. Therefore, each meeting will also include a short (one day) field visit to an appropriate neighbourhood of relegation (in Edinburgh, Porto, and San Francisco), organised in collaboration with local community organisations, so that each participant can witness first hand the urban spaces produced by the different institutional mechanisms tying together economy, state, place and society in each context.

The scholars have been selected to join the Network on the basis of their past and current work on issues directly related to advanced urban marginality. Thus far we have opted for a truly international spread of research interest and excellence, and a mix of early career and established scholars. This Network will expand along these selection principles as it gains momentum and visibility.

As a minimum, the programme will have the following outputs:

Developing the Network s recently launched website:

http://www.urbanoutcastsoftheworld.net/

This website outlines our intellectual ethos and scholarly agenda. It will help to coordinate, organise and advertise the activities of an expanding network of outstanding urban researchers, and help everyone gain energy, insight and visibility (via the upload of working papers and research initiatives).

Assist in developing and nurturing new researchers (postgraduates) through involving them in the network s activities, and encouraging their participation in all the planned meetings.

Peer reviewing of papers and exchange of new theoretical ideas, between scholars in the 7 participating countries.

Production of academic publications on the theoretical developments emerging from the network. As a minimum, it is anticipated that these will involve:

1) A special issue of a peer-reviewed academic journal in Urban Studies,

such as Urban Affairs Review 2) 6-8 further submissions of papers to peer-reviewed academic journals

in other disciplines 3) An edited book proposal

Plans for future network activities and broader engagement. For example, identifying further theoretical avenues and plans for collaboration, and submission of joint research proposals.

Currently, I am lecturer in Urban Sociology at the University of Ferrara.

I was involved in several researches at national and European level on different topics, in particular racism, interethnic relations in urban setting, socio-spatial segregation and urban requalification of deprived areas.

Currently I am carrying out a study on the policies of urban requalification in Italy called Contratti di quartiere (Neighbourhood Contracts) and their impact on social and economic exclusion of the residents. Furthermore, I am just begun a survey research on Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in Italy; this research will include a qualitative study on Anti-Semitism among the second generations from Maghreb countries living in Italy. I am member of the editorial committees of the following international and national reviews:

Theomai Journal, Society, Nature and Development Studies;

Passaggi, Rivista italiana di Scienze Transculturali (Italian Review of Transcultural Sciences)

Razzismo e Modernità (Racism and Modernity). I am also a member of ESA (European Sociological Association) Research Network 31 on Ethnic Relations, Racism and Antisemitism.
