How does order emerge out of the multiplicity of bodies, objects,
ideas and practices that constitute the urban? This book explores
the relation between space, law and control in the contemporary
city - and particularly in the context of urban 'mega events' -
through a combined geographical and normative analysis. Informed by
the recent spatial, affective and material 'turns' in the
humanities and social sciences, Andrea Pavoni addresses this
question by pursuing an innovative and trans-disciplinary approach,
capable of accounting for the emergence of order in urban space
both at the conceptual and empirical levels. Two overarching
objectives are pursued. First, to account for the increasing
convergence of logics, techniques and technologies of law, security
and marketing into novel, potentially oppressive spatial
configurations. Second, to envisage a consistent ethico-political
strategy to counter this evolution, by rethinking originally and in
radically spatial terms the notion of justice. Forging a
sophisticated and original analysis, this book offers an analysis
that will be of considerable interest to those working in critical
urban geography, critical legal studies, critical event studies,
surveillance and control studies.
