SUMMARY:At the Limits of Urban Theory: Racial Banishment in the Contemporary City
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by LSE Cities\nSHEIKH ZAYED THEATRE\, NEW ACADEMIC BUILDING \nIn cities around the world\, especially in the United States\, processes of socio-spatial restructuring continue to unfold. Often understood as neoliberal urbanism and often identified through concepts such as gentrification\, these processes entail the displacement of subaltern classes to the far edges of urban life. In this talk\, Ananya Roy argues that it is necessary to analyse such transformations through a theorisation of racial capitalism. \nIn particular\, she draws on research conducted by scholars and social movements in Los Angeles to delineate processes of racial banishment. In doing so\, Roy argues that the standard conceptual repertoire of urban studies is ill-equipped to study such processes. In particular\, influential explanations that invoke neoliberalisation often miss the long histories of dispossession and disposability that are being remade in the contemporary city. Put another way\, she makes the case for how urban studies must contend with legacies of white liberalism and the elision of the race question. Relying on both postcolonial theory and the black radical tradition\, Roy demonstrates that what is at stake is not only a more robust analysis of urbanism but also attention to the various forms of movement and mobilisation that are challenging racial banishment. \nAnanya Roy (@ananyaUCLA) is Professor of Urban Planning\, Social Welfare and Geography and inaugural Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin. She holds The Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy. \n  \nRicky Burdett (@BURDETTR) is Professor of Urban Studies at the LSE and Director of LSE Cities and the Urban Age Programme. He was curator of the Conflicts of an Urban Age exhibition at the 2016 International Architecture Biennale in Venice and contributed to the United Nations Habitat III conference on sustainable urbanisation in Quito. \nLSE Cities (@LSECities) is an international centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science that carries out research\, graduate and executive education and outreach activities in London and abroad. Its mission is to study how people and cities interact in a rapidly urbanising world\, focussing on how the design of cities impacts on society\, culture and the environment. \nTwitter Hashtag for this event: #LSEAnanyaRoy \nThis event is free and open to all. However\, a ticket is required\, only one ticket per person can be requested. \n\nThis event will be webcast live on the LSE website on LSE LIVE.
