What do we know about the urban impoverished areas of the world and
the living environment of its inhabitants? How did the urban poor
cope with their surroundings? How did they interpret and adopt
urban space in order to fight against their position at the
periphery of society? This volume takes up these questions and
investigates how far approaches of cultural sciences can contribute
to overcome the "exoticization of the ghetto" (Loic Wacquant) and
instead to look at the heterogeneity and individuality behind the
facades. It opens new perspectives for the research of poverty and
inequalities that do not stop at collective categories.
