Urban Interstices
Bringing together a team of international scholars with an interest in urban transformations, spatial justice and territoriality, this volume questions how the interstice is related to the emerging processes of partitioning, enclave-making and zoning, showing how in-between spaces are intimately related to larger flows, networks, territories and boundaries. Illustrated with a range of case studies from places such as the US, Quebec, the UK, Italy, Gaza, Iraq, India, and South-east Asia, the volume analyses the place and function of interstitial locales in both a 'disciplined' urban space and a disordered space conceptualized through the notions of 'excess', 'danger' and 'threat'.

Animated Lands
In Animated Lands Andrea Mubi Brighenti and Mattias
Kärrholm focus on territory as a living phenomenon-and
territoriality as an active and constantly reshaping force. They
explore the complexity of territorial production through a series
of parallel investigations into fundamental territorial themes,
such as rhythm, synchronization, melody, morphogenesis, and
animism. The notion of territory is excavated through case studies
including the analysis of urban playgrounds, homemaking, the
transformations of urban walls, and the stabilization of peculiar
building types such as the house-museum. These empirical examples
span such cities as Ahmedabad, Amsterdam, London, and Rome.
Animated Lands provides a broad introduction to what a
theory of territories could be and how it could help to advance
sociospatial studies.
